Went to the PWBA/Ebonite camp in April 2002 and while there, they changed the pitch of my thumbhole to zero. I have had no problems with this drilling and actually like it better than what I had previously. In the last month or so, I have noticed that on my first few shots, there appears to be a bundle of nerves at the base of my thumb that when the ball leaves my hand and rubs this spot, the tip of my thumb goes numb. Usually, after a few shots, I seem to adjust and it stops. Last night, it happened again, but the very tip of my thumb stayed numb the rest of the night. It's still a bit numb this morning. Also, over the course of the last 11 months, I've lost 40lbs., so the size of my thumb/fingers has changed. I've added tape to my thumbholes to get them to fit, but was wondering if this numbness is due to a drilling issue/bad fit or if it's just a queer medical thing? I suppose the weight loss could have affected my span a bit as well....? Anybody got any ideas?
