Please list your span, the pitches you're currently using, if you have a dry or wet/sweaty thumb! Also if you have a short or long thumb will also change pitches! How much bevel do you use? If you use to much, it can cause you to squeeze more! Less bevel and you can feel it more if you squeeze it! When it comes to spans, is it more relaxed or do you have to stretch to get your thumb in the ball! Just my $.02, Bruce
