First practice swinging the ball under your hand, back and forth. Move your arm back and forth so the ball swings in a pendulum motion, hitting the ball in your palm each time (Animation #1).

The swinging ball should hit the other ball hard enough to move it up a bit. Your fingers should be curved and ready to catch the swinging ball when it makes contact with the other ball.

Wait for the sound of the click, and then catch the ball using your ring and pinkie fingers (Image #3).

Be patient – it gets easier (Animation #2).
