Changes

Capball technique has evolved considerably over the past three years. The original flicking method involved trapping the cap, top facing up, between the middle finger and thumb, then snapping the middle finger outwards, imparting a counterclockwise spin and a strong forward motion. The cap is released from a moving hand, starting near the [http://www.grasslandbeef.com/catalog/Chicken-Breast-0752-copy.jpg breastal] area, and moving directly away from the slinger. This particular method is renowned for its high degree of accuracy, but relatively low velocity. Badly flicked caps tend to float slowly towards the hitter, allowing an almost perfect setup to batter the cap into oblivion.

A revolution in capball technique happened with the entrance of Ali Moiz Jon O'Hanlon '06 into the game during the Winter Study of 2003. In his first game of capballintroduced a variation on this method, Moiz rejected the difficult flick technique, instead pioneering the now popular with a modified sidearm techniqueapproach.

However, that deficiency is often more than made up for by sheer velocity, making a skilled Moiz sidearmer a highly valuable capball commodity.  Some capballers have been experimenting experimented with variations on the traditional flick, including the highly unorthodox "upside -down cap" method. Sources report that the method has met with some success, imparting a devastating twisting motion onto the cap. If fully parallel but upside-down, the cap should sink.
