Does it hit the thumb hole as soon as you release it?  Or do the later flare rings hit the hole?  And are you positive you're hitting the thumb hole and not the finger holes?  --  JohnP

I had similar problem in the past. Mine was when my thumb was 'late' to go out during the release. I was also kinda gripping the thumbhole. lol. But now its all fixed.

You should be able to hear 'thumping' sounds when the ball is rolling down the lane. This happened to me before as well. Weird as heck!

Just work on your release and hand position. I'm no pro, but these are my 2cents.
