Welcome to the forum, dguig.

  • I look for the hand solidly under the ball (palm up)and the ball moving horizontally.
  • I look at the rhythm of the ball to see if it comes to a noticeable and total stop. (Not the law of gravity physics stop at the top of the bounce)
  • I look at an aggressive horizontal change of direction, to the side or backward, with a noticeable stop at mid bounce.

  • Mick:

    What do you mean that the laws of physics and gravity stop at the top of the bounce?
