How do I grip the ball for a curveball?

The best thing you can do is ask for help. Reach out to your friends and family and tell them what you're going through. For many people, it's embarrassing to...

Grip the bat so you have free range of motion while you're swinging. Try not to squeeze the bat too tightly or else you'll lock up your arms.

There's no safe way to get the valve out without damaging the ball.

You can try using stickers or decals, but they won't last long due to wear-and-tear. If you want something that lasts longer, you'll have to use paint.

Foul. They go.

If your grip isn't symmetrical, use a permanent marker or a piece of tape to make landmarks before removing the original grip.
