I can kinda throw one, its not hard, just throw the ball on the side like a football. Its not that crazy of a pitch, just spins similar to a slider but doesnt break

Congratulations, that is a slider and not a gyroball.

FSTBLLTHRWER thats not a gyroball. A gyroball is thrown with pronation, when you turn your palm so that the pinky is facing towards the sky. Like The Watch said your just throwing a slider

Suppose to have slider-like spin with very little break to fool a hitter. Don’t worry if you can’t throw one. A “back door” slider or cutter is just as good. See Mariano Rivera.
