Looking for ideas to solve pain in the fleshy portion of the hand between the index finger and the thumb.
I recently hurt my wrist 6 months ago... tendonitis distal (pinky for the non-medical) side and went from 0/0 pitches to 1/8 forward and 1/8 away on my switch grips... I also dropped a pound in ball weight... kinda needed to bowl through it as 2 of 3 leagues we are in the hunt for playoffs etc... this created the new problem above... did I over compensate? My spans are correct with 4 fittings from 4 people all match up...
Rt handed fingers: <3/8 ^1/4 and >3/8 ^1/4
cut to cuts are 3 1/2 and 3 9/16
thumb was 0/0 now >1/8 and ^1/8
Axis Rotation High, Tilt Medium, revs and speed used to match seems like I lost some revs with this change. I am thinking the forward pitch but fittings are out of my element... surface, layouts and core/coverstock is my wheel house. I am trying to learn as much as I can to get int a pro shop someday.

Try icing your hand for about an hour when you get home from bowling. It works for me.

The biggest cause for hand pain is too long of a span. Make sure your hand is relaxed when you get measured.

Super comfy... grip edges dead center between finger creases
btw I meant my lateral in my thumb was away not towards the palm.

Dave,
How much grip pressure do you use? As I watch you bowl it looks pretty smooth, so I suspect that you're not squeezing, but perhaps another look at your drill specs would not hurt.
Catch me on a Tuesday night and see if I can notice anything.

Sure we can certainly do that... funny thing... I was beveling out a thumb hole and thought I over did it... it actually helped last night... I think I failed to compensate via bevel for my new pitches and may have been easing my thumb out during my downswing and using my thumb too much to hold on.
