That's what I'm trying to acheive: More relaxed grip and free swing. Currently my grip is not very relaxed but I've had worse. My swing can be free if I focus on it and I'm not ahead of the ball, but I'm sure my unrelaxed grip is a factor in a free swing right?
I figure if I go a little more forward with my pitch, just enough that I have to relax a little more, I'll eventually learn. But as it is, natural body reaction is to hang on to that ball which probably makes for bad shots. I think I'm doing good for the circumstances though, averaging 200-205. Although on already broken down conditions like during practice I only average about 195 and inconsistently, and I think it's that kind of condition that I'm paying on.
ThongPrincess, I feel like I have snug fits already, that is until I swing the ball. Then it slips and I have to grab it. I think my thumb holes aren't equal in size from top to bottom, and I think they should be even though my knuckle is wider than the part under(towards the base). But I also think more forward pitch would help as well.
