Depends, in the thumg offset you asked about thumb is set somewhere under the middle finger.  Yes moved!

In the CLT the thumb is left in the original T grip position.  Fingers pitches are oriented down a line drawn between middle and ring finger.  Thumb not moved!

The concept of thumb offset is to put thumb out from straight under bridge an amount that makes sense based on YOUR hand on the ball.  How much is your thumb out from your bridge?

The concept of the center line transfer is that the fingers do not pull straight down to the centerline.  Therefore pitches are oriented down the line between ring and middle finger.  

Again two different concepts and methods.
Thumb offset move thumb, drop ring finger.
CLT= center line transfer, leave holes where thay are and reorient finger pitches(leave thumb where it is).

Two methods, two ways of drilling them.  Two different feels.  Standard drilling another method of drilling and another set of feels!

Lefty, if I have no pitch on my fingers and I am getting a small blood blister on my ring finger what should I try to keep from it progressing?

Can I just pitch the finger holes different?

What would you suggest?

Brunswick, LuckyLefty needs to know exactly where you are getting the blister before he can advise.

If on the pad it's usually too long a span, you can check for that, if joint is not comfortably past middle of hole too long.

Or too much forward for your flexibility!

You should look if on pad for one of those two.
