“Is Ground Effect the reason a Knuckleball ?floats??”

I was a big “junk” ball pitcher and ended up ruining my arm. That said, the knuckle ball is perception because its 20 mphs slower and has no spin. I could make a fastball rise by rolling the ball off my fingers in a back spin. And yes my curve was aimed at the batters head with a down left curve that would end up a strike.
