thumb pitch change?
« on: October 03, 2006, 02:31:36 PM »
I don't know much about pitches but it seems I always end up with a least three peices of tape infront of my thumb no matter how tight the hole feels.I have a wide flat thumb.I hate the feel of the tape but without it I end up squeezing the ball,I know because I'm getting some pain in my wrist on the pinkey side.I struggled again tonight without the tape then taped up and felt like my old self again and no pain.should I consider more reverse pitch?

I was at 1/8 reverse. I went to 1/8 forward reverse and it feels great! Even if the ball is a little loose on my hand, I still don't grab it like I use to with 1/8 reverse. Hope this helps.
