Hand Measurements and pitches
« on: October 21, 2008, 12:28:35 PM »
If you were drilling a ball for a total Hand span (Including Grips and thumb slug) of 5 " x 5 1/8. My hand is very flexible. My thumb is longer roughly two inches. What pitches would you use in the thumb and fingers.


I have to squeeze my thumb in the back swing to hold on to it. What should I do.

Right now
I have
 
Fingres 1/4 rev, both 3/8 left on mid 3/8 right on ring
Thumb 1/8 left, 1/4 rev.
--------------------
Arsenal
Dimension 4 x 3
T road Solid 4 1/2 x 3
Gravity 4 x 5
Rapid fire pearl 4 x 5.5
Street rod pearl 2 x 4

Those pitches don't look outrageous.  BUT, without seeing your hand in person, how do I know those spans are correct or close?  They may be short??

Maybe your thumb hole is too big??  Maybe you have too much bevel on the front of the thumb hole??  Combinations of all of these??

Where do you live?  Might be able to find you some help if you need?  PM...

That's almost the exact measurement span and pitchwise as me and yes, if you don't have the thumb tight you will have to squeeze. It's forced me to take the time and tape the hole correctly and get it tighter than I used to but when it's right and I can go without near as much squeeze, then it just loosens up the armswing so nice.
