A question I've always had about bowling: the knuckleball.

Ok. But click on the link below. They seem to be suggesting that you do need to push with your fingers.

Read and let me know what you think.

Knuckle Ball

I think it's wrong. The old timey drawings show griping the ball with the knuckles, which you just don't do. I realize the guy calls himself a professional, but in this case I think he's very wrong. It's a good example of why the knuckleball isn't throw by many pitchers. It's usually coached wrong....oh and it's tough to be consistent also

Here's RA Dickey, a current MLB pitcher describing his grip/release.

I know Tim Wakefield's grip and motion was pretty similar.
