A drop curve is basically a peel drop currves by simply squeezing harder with specific fingers on the ball. The ball will roll off the fingers that are being squeezed last, which will give the drop a tailing effect.

The "Peel" (or "Lift-up") Drop Ball

The "peel" drop is usually the first type of drop ball we teach...particularly to pre-teenagers. Although it often doesn't break downward as drastically as the "rollover" drop, it has some definite advantages... especially for newer pitchers. (a) it is usually easier and faster to learn, (b) with practice it can be thrown at near fast ball speed, and (c) even when thrown wrong, it has a minimal risk of causing an injury.

To Throw a Good peel drop:

Grip the ball on your fingertips the same way you do with your 4-seam fastball... with pads of the fingers on the stitches on the side of hte "U" (horseshoe)
Take a shorter stide... 6 inches to 14 inches shorter than with your full speed fastball.
Land with your weight on your stride leg (glove side leg)
Stay tall at the release of the ball... keep your weight forward, but do not bend at the waist.
At the release point
-Relax your shoulders
-Keep your elbow close to the body, with the inside of your wrist pointing toward the catcher
Then: Precisely at the release of the ball, quickly pull backwards (and slightly up) with your fingertips to create a fast forward spin on the ball as it leaves your hand. This "peeling" (or "pulling" the rug out from under?) the ball is similar to the magician's trick of pulling the tablecloth out from under plates and glasses.
Since this backward snap of your fingers needs to be precisely at the release of the ball, we often have a pitcher learn the peel drop at a slower speed. Then as she consistently does the peel/lift precisely at the release point, she can begin to build up the speed of the pitch... eventually to 93% to 97% of the speed of the fastball. Some pitchers successfully develop both an off-speed and a full-speed peel drop.
