? Store your Sidearm above 5?C. ? Place a ball in the cup of the Sidearm, aligning the seam to follow the line of the groove and slit. ? Place the ball in the Sidearm by hand, rather than by forcing the ball into the cup directly from the ground. ? Throw the ball using a normal throwing action, keeping the Sidearm perpendicular to the ground. ? The release point of the ball should be governed by bringing the wrist through in a throwing action; not by stopping the Sidearm mid-action to ?flick? the ball out.
