Span & Pitch
« on: March 16, 2005, 02:18:30 PM »
I was thinking of adding some forward pitch in my fingers. Currently I'm at zero-zero in the fingers with 1/4 right and an 1/8 reverse, thumb.

I saw it suggested in the MoRich "Future of ball motion" presentation. It said it can increase revs (1/8 forward in both fingers). I'm looking to get that extra UMPH at release.

I am also thinking about dropping my ring finger an 1/8, as I have been having problems with swelling in it. (Span and pitches in profile)

I think my ring is too stretched out...

Any comments, opinions, suggestions or objections?

I also thought about doing this: 3/8 forward middle - 3/8 reverse ring. The MoRich information states that this will increase axis rotation and tilt.


Would dropping my ring an 1/8 be too big of a change? I know something needs to be done, that's for sure.

Thanks!

If I even my fingers cut-to-cut, how would I compensate for an 1/8 forward in the fingers? Is it even worth trying with zero - zero in the fingers? I am using power lifts which add a 1/4 forward, but I feel I still don't get enough lift at the bottom.

Wouldn't that stretch the span again?

Would I need to add more reverse in the thumb to compensate for the fingers staying in the ball longer?

You need to find a good driller and have him look at your hand / current specs prior to making changes.  If your current set-up isn't correct than making changes off of an incorrect starting point isn't going to help things.  You also need to keep in mind that changes in Fwrd/Rev finger pitches will effect how your span feels.

My thumb pitch and middle finger span are perfect, it's my ring finger that's giving me problems. I'm always looking for ways to increase my wimpy rev rate...

I thought it would be worthwhile to try some forward in the fingers.
