I currently have 0 and 1/8 palm pitch in the thumb. Im thinking of going forward, what is the "typical" amount of forward to go to from zero?

I threw a friends ball of mine and he had a 16th forward and a 16th palm and I liked the way it felt. Just wondering, im going to throw this idea by pro shop operator, however more opinions are welcome.

I wouldn't make the lateral and forward changes at the same time.
Explanation:
Right now you have 1/8 rev and 1/8 left.
I am going to assume that your thumb lays at about 45° so as far as your thumb is concerned the current pitches are all reverse.
I say this because the 2 pitches would triangulate to a single pitch that is at 45° due to equal lengths. If the pitches weren't of equal length the triangulated pitch would be at a different angle but that is another story.
You could get the same feel by using a single pitch with the ball placed in the jig at 45° and using either .176 reverse or .176 left depending on which way you rotated the ball. On a standard drill .176 is slightly less than 3/16 (.1875) on a mill you could dial in the actual decimal pitches.
By changing to 1/8 fwd and 1/8 right it would be all forward as far as your thumb is concerened assuming a 45° thumb angle.
