I have been using a thumb slug and 1/8'' reverse by 0'' lateral pitch in my thumb for several years now, and my game has changed quite a bit over that time. Over this time, I have loosened my grip pressure and have a softer hand at the bottom of the swing. It has even happened that my ball has completely fell off my hand at the bottom of the swing (resulting in a gutter). Even after putting white tape in both the front and back of the thumbhole, I can never seem to get the "snug" feel I want. Since I will probably be retooling the arsenal in a couple months, I have been thinking that this would be a good time to experiment with thumb pitches/grip. I have also contemplated to going to no thumb slug, as I am curious to what kind of feel that would bring. So my question is, do you think a change to more forward pitch in the thumb would solve this. Also, in comparison, what is the difference between the feel of a thumb slug and no thumb slug. Thanks for any imput....

try using foward pitch it'll make you hold on the ball longer, but only go a little amount at a time until you feel comfortable
