For the last few years I have been fighting with limited flexability in my ring finger. Just this past year I have worked to change my grip to try to alleviate the stress on it, starting with forward pitch in the ring, and then a dropped ring finger before this season.
While it has took away most of the pain, the comfort level was pretty close to as perfect as I could expect.
Fast forward to this past weekend, my wife and I bowled a 5 game tournament and even during practice, something didnt feel right. No pain, but definitely just a bit weak in my wrist and forearm. By the 3rd game, something either popped or moved, and from then on it was all I could do to get the ball down the lane. I should have stopped then, but stupid me kept bowling.
So yesterday I could barely touch my ring and middle fingers to my palm, still no pain but they were definitely sore. Today, the flexability is better, and while there is still no pain the strength is better.
So im thinking this may be the time to go back to the Sarge Easter grip, to try to take even more stress off my ring finger. For the shop operators out there, am I on the right track if thinking here, will the Sarge Easter grip help with the stress and stretch on my ring finger??
