It seems as though my ball is slipping out of my grip during the arm swing. Is this most likely thumb pitch or might it be a short span? Maybe something else might be causing this. I actually lost the ball on the down swing and it landed on the top of my ankle. Adding tape makes the thumb feel tighter as I put the tumb in, but it still seems as though I'm going to lose the ball during the arm swing.

Thanks again for the feedback. I took the ball to the shop today and the pro shop oiperator first said the span was correct. But there was another customer standing there. I didn't say anything until the other customer left. Then I told him my problem. I told him if it waqsn't my span then it must be my pitch. Then after the customer was gone, he pulled out my drill sheet and re-measured. The span was 1/8th short. So he plugged the thumb hole and we'll try again tomorrow.

Is complaining about an 1/8th in span difference being too picky or can others notice a long or short span if it is only an 1/8th off?

1/8 is entirely too far off. I think 1/16th is too far off. Most people can't tell a 16th, but I like JohnP try to get to no more than 1/32 off if any.
You did the right thing. He did the right thing if he is fixing it for free, you shouldn't have to pay for that.

I am sure he respected that you waited for teh other customers to leave before taking up the possible error. Very considerate and I am sure went a long way to earn his respect.

I hope all is well and the problem fixed!
