What's your thumb size ?
« on: December 18, 2007, 01:06:18 PM »
This other post got me wondering.

Before i was a proshop operator about 8 years ago my thumb size was i think 13/16 then ovaled 1.100 @ 45 degrees.

now after 8 years my thumb is 25/32  a full two sizes down.

what's everyone elses thumb sizes?

I use pre-drilled, oval thumbsleeves with an I.D of 1 3/64 with the oval set at around a 45 degree.

 With a urethane slug, I drill a 1 1/16 round hole and use tape in the front and back.  This is only when no 1 3/64 oval sleeves are available and is replaced as soon as I can get some.  Works O.K., but I am constantly changing tape.

61/64"....Used to be 7/8" and ovaled. Had too many problems with the ovaled thumb, so went to the 61/64" and use tape for feel and this eliminated my thumb from sticking one time and not another and etc.
