When I'm happy with how the path looks, I'll release my Shift key and the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key, then I'll release my mouse button (it's important to release the keys first, then the mouse button, or you'll get unexpected results). If you need to reposition a path as you're drawing it, press and hold the spacebar on your keyboard, drag with your mouse to move the path into position, and then release your spacebar and continue drawing. I'll continue dragging outward from the center until the path is large enough to surround the ball. Once you have drawn your shape select the text tool and click on the line and you will be able to type along the path - you can change the base line so that the text appears inside the circle rather than on the outside of the circle. Holding the Shift key down as I drag with the Ellipse Tool forces the shape of the path into a perfect circle, while the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key lets me draw the path outward from the spot where I clicked. Then, I'll press and hold Shift+Alt (Win) / Shift+Option (Mac) on my keyboard and begin dragging outward from the center. To draw the path, I'll click and hold my mouse button down in the center of the golf ball.
