Bevel is merely a band aid for an improper angle

The more you talk, the more I want to have you fit me.

I haven't had issue whatsoever since JustRico adjusted my grip several years ago. I recently had it shorted a bit after I returned from one year and a half lay off. One thing I'm really enjoying with my grip beside the timing of my release, is that, my hand isn't fatigue after bowling several games or squads in a day.

I've had no bevel in my fingers for about 13 years, but the thumb is a different story. I have a slug that's sharp, and I can use it, but there's a nerve or tendon or something that ends up hurting after bowling. So its close, but not perfect.

As much as I have great disdain in responding to any of your posts...
Bevel in accommodating gripping or squeezing is merely a band aid...if the gripping angles are correct and the wrist is supporting the bowling ball properly the need for bevel is strongly minimized but the two must interact correctly in accomplishing this

That tends to be more of a fallacy than fact as most believe they 'need' bevel to 'hold' onto
If the grip is correct there is no need to 'hold' onto

If the wrist is supportive properly then gravity or otherwise bevel can be minimized
Grip and timing generally create the need for bevel other than what ray stated but he has even required minimal smoothing to accommodate his injury

Very interesting set of answers. 

We have gone from no bevel needed if pitches are perfect in conjunction with the wrist supporting, to well maybe a little, but in conjunction with other elements mentioned.  I agree bevel will reduce with a more perfect fit.  I note some hands seem to require more bevel in the thumb based on the amount of skin between the thumb and the hand.  Those with almost no fleshy area there seeming to require the more or most minimal amounts of bevel.

SO, the Mo Pinel bevel tips I mentioned are designed to help bowlers get out from the various setups they have exactly...Now with today's setup.!  Impending somewhat refers to this.  A sharp almost no bevel thumbhole gives him nerve damage.  This is not unusual for many people who like to vary forward from the pitch tables.  By applying the Mo Pinel ring finger test and noting the probable drag on the flat portion of the thumb he most likely will probably start to slowly relieve the painful sharp pressure point on the flat of his thumb by gently adding a "sufficient" amount of bevel.

Of course a master such as Just Rico could change all this by varying spans and "angles in the ball"  Most probably leaving you/Impending
 with the perfect no bevel setup and a proper dynamic fit.

Again, I reiterate I just add gentle amounts of bevel to balance removal of hanging in the ball with holding power(less bevel).  Of course pitches obviously play strongly into this scenario.

Let's talk about fitting an average bowler that generally doesn't have enough strength to hold a proper wrist angle or lacking enough strength in the fingers to support the ball.   A lot of fit problems are because of  the bowlers lack of strength or lack of coaching to know how to  "hang on" or "release" in the proper manner.  Put him in a "proper" fit as it's called here, with minimum bevel and he'll have a nightmare on his hands.
