Answer:

Guiding Hand

Step-by-step explanation:

The guiding hand is, for most people, their non-dominant hand. The guiding hand lightly cups the ball at its side. Its role is to steady the ball as you go through the shooting motion with your shooting hand. All five fingers should make gentle contact with the side of the ball.
