Title: Thumb/finger weigh
Post by: laufaye on September 29, 2004, 05:12:28 PM

I am now working at the proshop and started drilling balls.  Still got a lot to learn, so please help me too understand more.

Someone please educate me on the different reaction with thumb weigh and fingers weigh.

Thanks in advance.

Not being sarcastic at all here, but

If you're working in a pro shop, why doesn't either your driller who should be instructing you, educate you or send you to an IBPSIA class or send you to the IBPSIA website?

Charlest, you are absolutely right, however in reallity things not happens the proper way.  All I can do now is to find as many way to educate myself.

So far what I think was thumb weigh will make the ball get up earlier and finger weigh will make the ball have a relatively sharper break point.

Please eduacate me more, I want to learn.

Thanks

I don't think that AMF has cornered the market on Pro Shop stupidity, it's everywhere.  But, charlest is right, the pro shop owner should be teaching you the basics, not folks here.

Its ok, sorry about the question.  If I can have the information, I dont think I need to post it here.  You guys are absolutely right, I am going to save up some money and go to IBPSIA to seek for help.

Thanks anyways
