GRIP   

The orthodox grip for the leg spinner is a two finger grip, The top joints of the index and second fingers lie across the seam, the third finger is bent and along the seam.

This may be practiced bowling underarm. Grip the ball as shown, draw bowling
hand past hips, keeping the palm facing your partner. As the arm swings forward,  straighten the fingers and flick the wrist so the palm finishes facing down.
Spin is imparted primarily through the third finger.

N.B. The points listed above refer to an orthodox action, but many other types
of action have been successfully tried.
