I had power lifts in all my balls now. prior to this my ring finger has been bothering me but more after power lifts were changed about a month ago. i finally told my friend about it who owns the shop. he adjusted the pitch to 1/4 forward. picked it up today but haven't tried it yet. it feels ok when i held it but haven't tried throwing it. he told me if still hurst he can adjust it 3/8?! so i hope 1/4 will help. might throw a game tomorrow or something.

Just curious. I have noticed lately i have been loosing the ball in the fingers. My driller currently has me at 3/8 reverse in both fingers. I use power lifts also. My fingers are pretty flexible and i just don''t know where to go. any advice? please help!!

Are your finger pitches 3/8 reverse after P/O grips installed, or prior? P/O grips add 1/4 forward pitch. So, it could be either 1/8 reverse, or 3/8 reverse. Even if it is 3/8 reverse, today''s pro shop classes teach the use of some reverse pitch in the fingers to promote a more relaxed grip, and to keep the bowler from hitting up on the ball during release.

Could it be as simple as finger grips that are too large?


If you want to talk about it more, just PM me........
