The tip of my ring finger on my bowling hand is giving me problems. It's a little swollen and a little sore to the touch. I believe this is from Bowling 3 games with fingertips too small for my fingers several weeks ago. It hasn't prevented me from bowling but it bothers me a little in the 3rd game. Should I see a doctor about this? Has this happened to anyone? I'm having my worst year in quite awhile. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not an expert at this by any means, but without seeing your hand vs your span, I am guessing you have an incorrect fit with the span being too long. I recently was having a problem with the first joint of my middle finger. I discussed this with "pin-chaser" and we shortened the span 1/2" and went from 1/8 reverse on thumb to 5/16 forward and fingers were moved from 0 forward/reverse ot 1/2" forward. Also changed from the lift side of finger grips to oval grips.

No more finger pain, no more squeezing the ball, no more sore arm, can bowl more games with out arm or shoulder getting tired, no more sore shoulder, plus higher scores, and better accuracy at hitting my target.....and the ball fits like a custom made glove and feels lighter.
