Yes, you would move further left. How much? Depends on your thumb hinge. Without being able to read your hand I'd suggest trying 1/4 left first. I seldom run into anyone that needs more than 1/4 lateral in either direction. You should not need to change your reverse pitch if you're releasing the ball well now. The additional left pitch will make it a little easier to get out of the thumb while staying behind the ball, but I wouldn't expect it to be enough to require less reverse. And I assume you've eliminated the hole being too small, existence of a rough spot in the hole in that area, and insufficient bevel in that area as causes. -- JohnP
