I've seen the article about setting the thumb on here previously but my search over the internet shows nothing. Also Deadbait mentioned something of fishhooking the fingers. If anyone has any information on either could you repost it here again. Thank you!

I have never heard the term fish hooking ,but i think what they meant was that when the thumb is in the ball you want to bring the thumb down so you are holding the ball in the crease of the thumb ,but you want your thumbnail at the top of the thumb hole. This ,"locks your hand",into the ball and you are less likely to drop or squeeze it.

Setting the thumb:

While inserting the thumb, push upward and inward as far as possible, then "clamp" down and gently pull back. The skin on the thumb will "flex" and create a secure fit.

Fishhooking the fingers is one I'm not familiar with. Sorry.
