As stated, looking for someone to help on possibly redrilling my ball.  I've recently gotten serious about bowling, and bowl 3-4 times a week, 20-40 games, depending on how much practice.

My situation is this, i first got a fingertip grip and loved it for obvious reasons, only problems was that the thumb was too large at first, so I was squeezing the ball.  Although i threw it okay, after a week, i started to get severe pain in my main knuckle, on my left middle finger (i'm lefty, needless to say).  Got a new thumb insert, and since then have had less problems, although i still feel pain from either 1) the current grip still not being fit right, or  2) the previous injury not fully healed yet.

Eitherway, I would like to get a second opinion and likely will get my ball better fit to my hand.  Based on the number of games i bowl a week, i want something that fits properly so as to prevent another injury, and help enhance my game.  My stats:  194 avg., best series 749, high game 279, medium speed, medium to high revs, down an in hook.

Thanks and I appreciate any advice on drillers and layouts you could suggest.

saelee -- If your finger joint is hurting, it may be because of finger joint stiffness, made worse by the loose thumb hole.  Be sure that whoever you go to looks closely at your finger joint flexibility to determine proper finger pitch.  I have used as much as 3/4 inch of reverse pitch in finger holes to cure joint pain.  If they don't look at this flexibility, keep trying until you find a driller that does.  --  JohnP
