Here is my candidate for easiest question of the day. I can't find the answer, but I know it's out there somewhere.

I am adding 3/16 reverse to my thumb (going back to an old test) to come out of the box easier. What is the guideline for the correct suggested span change??
Thanks in advance

If you asking how much of a change to make compared to your current pitch I suggest 1/8" change.

For every increase or decrease in span 1/8" add the appropriate adjustment 1/16" ...3/16 is a lot of reverse to add...what was your span when you used that reverse?

Sorry for the late reply. My span at zero was (left-handed) total span of 4 9/16 on the ring and 4 1/2 on the middle finger. The span change helped this morning in practice, but now I have a new problem. I have posted it under a new thread looking for some additional analysis.

Thanks for the quick reply. It allowed me to get the ball taken care of in time to practice this weekend and with positive results so far.
