Ok,  ive gotten into the habit of sinking my thumb in before my fingers,  my grip just feels better doing it that way.  Why are you supposed to put fingers in first and then sink the thumb.  My thumb tends to feel loose when i do that,  it just feels unnatural to me.  Ive had this habit ever since my first finger tip ball.  Ive had my span checked and had balls drilled by several different folks,  had the thumb hole adjusted, etc.  but nothing seems to make it feel right for me.  

Can someone tell me whats the difference as far as doing it the way i do and sinking it in like everyone tells me i should, fingers first?

It's not wrong, just different. Personally, I find it difficult to put the thumb in first, especially with finger grips, but if the lanes are really toasted, putting the thumb in first gives me  a few boards less hook, which isn't a bad thing at all.

The great Dave Husted also is a fingers-in-last bowler.

If horse racing is the sport of kings, then surely bowling is a very good sport as well.

if you look at the difference in both, when the thumb goes in first, the fingers dont go as far into the holes, that is, if you have semi-tight holes. It just gives you a different feeling grip is all, do whats comfortable, except 2 finger, DONT DO THAT!

AM not A CHICK OF BOWLING but I wanted to be in Manda's clique And why would I "saw" pins in half, THATS A WASTE OF PINS! I'd rather blow it over with my storm, and 21mph ball speed on dry shots.
