My son is 9 and goes through this once in a while.

I tell him that his fingers are Wolverines claws, and that Wolverines claws need to cut the baseball in half. After the claws cut through the ball tell him to turn his thumb down.

Play catch with him. Watch the spin. See if makes the ball spin a little more true.

This cue works OK with kids who are un-intentionally putting slurve spin on the ball.
