I know mine are odd, but I don't have them handy.  I'm getting ready to make a change though.  I'm developing a small knot on the nail side of my middle finger, so I'm going to try going further away from the palm on that finger.

Heres mine, the LH version:

MF 4 5/16" span w/ 3/8 away and 3/8 reverse hole size 43/64
RF 4 3/8" span w/ 1/2 away and 3/8 forward hole size 41/64
Thumb 0 and 1/4 reverse 1 1/4" insert with 29/32 (lots of carving for my hammerhead thumb)

I have the Mo grip, he changed my fingers about 2 years ago and the feel is great. I took he grips out last year and changed my thumb pitch without changing my span and have had no issues with it at all. And yes I have smaller fingers/hand but still get more than most lefties around here on the ball.

Thanks everyone for giving your specs.  The one thing I noticed is everyone who responded has reverse finger pitch.  I have decided to give reverse finger pitch a try.  I still use 1/16 towards the palm and feel this is causing some finger pain in my ring finger.  

I have drilled a ball sarge easter and am experimenting with that.  The one thing I noticed about the sarge easter grip is it's very comfortable.  

I want to drill a ball with my nromal span and change the finger pitches to reverse and give it a try.  Then I plan on comparing that to my sarge easter drilled ball to see which one I like the best.  Then i'm going to stick with the best one.

I thought I had my grip all figured out.  Yeah right! lol.  Now I have to go thru the whole plugging and redrilling deal to get things right.  What a pain but it will be worth it.  I don't want to pay for it later with injuries or arthritis.

So thanks again guys for posting your specs.
