Hey all, as the title suggests I'm having some trouble getting my thumb out. But first a little background. I'm 19 years old. When I was 16, I averaged 199. All was well, shot 687 with the Mission just after it came out. That summer, I switched to a different type of thumb slug, but the shape didn't feel right. I went back to my pro shop only to find that the guy that usually did my stuff left to start his own way out of the area. My thumb felt terrible. That winter, I averaged 150. Not only blaming the thumb here, but do think it was a factor. Anyway, every time I got new stuff, the new guy didn't measure me, despite the fact that I was still growing. The original Mission was the last ball I was measured for. Anyway, fast forward 3 years, I went to a guy who came highly recommended by a good friend and right away I felt better. He lengthened my span by about a half inch, as well as taking reverse pitch from 1/9 to 3/8. But I'm still not coming out good. I feel my thumb coming out at the same time as my fingers, if not after. I'm lofting the ball like crazy, and the ball is spinning more so than it is revving. What could it be? My first thought is squeezing, a bad habit I might have developed when my fit wasn't right. I feel it mostly in the base of my thumb. Could it still be the span or pitch? If I am squeezing it bad, what is the fix? Sorry for the long winded post here, just very very frustrated. Thanks in advance guys!
P.S.- I know a video would more than likely come in handy as it usually does. Unfortunately I am without a camera at the moment, so just thought I'd see if I could figure something out while I try to conjure one up.
