Quick help please!
« on: February 26, 2019, 03:51:00 PM »
My thumb hole is just a bit too snug. I went to my PSO to have him sand it open a bit but he closed early for training. I have league tonight. What grit sand paper is best for thumb holes?

Sanding screens are great, imo

I second sanding screen. Use the metal drywall stuff from Lowe's or Home Depot. I finish mine with that even if the PSO sands it.

Before I went to switch grip, I would always have my thumbhole drilled a little bigger to allow for a few pieces of tape.  Those pieces of tape gave me some wiggle room for thumb swelling or shrinkage.
