Not entirely sure what a curveball is, but the physics behind it is quite simple.

When a pitcher throws the ball, it goes straight, but gravity is also pulling it down.

Since it is goiig forward, it creates a downward curve.

To make it go left or right, just position yourself on the opposite side of the position you choose.
