Just curious....

Are you LH or RH? What is your total span and finger pitches??

1. Drop your ring finger 1/16 - 1/8... if this does not do it enough... then
2. Drop your middle finger 1/16 and your ring 1/8 - 3/16

More under the palm (right for right handed) will assist but you must have a fairly flexible thumb.

Textbook would say for that span length, you dont have enough reverse. Hard to speak about the lateral because we dont know what your flexability is. More reverse and more right would cause you to rotate around the ball more to clear. Again, without seeing you hand and flexability, its just guesswork
