perhaps bighook69, but the point is, when my finger is stretched, or when im applying some sort of grabbing pressure it sure doesnt feel very good, going to conventional probably wouldnt help at all (dont really want any pressure on the middle finger).. I can probably deal with a spinning ball for like a month or two if thats what it takes, I can still bowl normally its just unpleasant at times. I just want it to heal up and i feel like me bowling on it makes the healing process much slower.
Anyways if it doesnt work out, im sure its not a big deal, just plug and redrill one hole wont be much money. I just didnt feel like trying it if its something that probably wouldn't work.
