Hey Guys,
I know the Sarge Easter grip. But what exactly is the purpose of having your ring finger drilled .5" higher than your middle finger? Does this affect revs, or is this just a comfort drill on a particular ball? Saw a guy this weekend with an Animal and a Predator with this set-up, on each ball. Anyone know?

If it was done intentionally to increase the pressure on the ring finger the net result (besides possible eventual pain) would be for them to throw less turn on the ball.

The ring finger is behind the ball and provides more lift than turn. By increasing the pressure on the ring finger it will do more work and thus they will go up the back of the ball more.

The middle finger is towards the outside of the ball and provides more turn.

As John P. stated when the span is setup with equal pressure on both fingertips the ring finger span is normally as longer or at least as long as the middle finger.

Glen -- Yep, that's it.  I assume your last ring finger joint is very stiff (1" rev).  Actually, other than the short MF span, your fit is very close to mine (4 11/16" on both spans, 1/4" rev on MF and 5/8 rev on RF, 7/16" rev and 1/4" L lateral on thumb).  Is your thumb stiff also?  Mine is, and if I don't have the extra rev pitch I have to drill the hole very large to be able to get out of it clean.  As another example, though, my father in law's grip has the RF span about 3/8" longer than the MF, and he does not have damage to his fingers (other than stiffness from having worked as a carpenter and plumber most of his life).  His RF is actually longer than his MF when you look at his hand.  --  JohnP
