this topic has been discussed here many times
and as my usual answer, well... i never wanted to imitate TJ, but the first time i bowled, i did that and it felt comfortable, so i kept it
i cant bowl or even throw the ball correctly if i put my fingers in first. i usually have my thumb in first, then adjust it to the right feel then i put my fingers in. again, ppl might think im tryin to be TJ, but no, thats how i feel comfortable from the first day of my bowling life.
im not sure if its the driller not being able to make me a perfect fit or its just me, but theres no way i can accommodate my thumb in the hole when my fingers goes into the ball first. i think its due to my tight thumb hole, since i like to put the thumb in and twist a little bit.
by doin thumb in first, i never drop the ball unless i want to drop it intentionally for longer patterns

When a house bowler misses the mark, misses the break point and strike, for many ppl its called a wallshot. When a pro does that its call adjustment
When a house bowler gets his finger stuck in the ball and fall on the lanes, for many ppl its called lame bowler. When a pro does that its called the Machuga flop! ha i like this one.
