Thumb Pitches
« on: January 14, 2006, 07:12:36 AM »
What kinda of thumb pitches does everyone use on here ??

I just tried 1/4 forward and like it real well, and you can not squeeze the ball at all.

I have just changed to 1/4 forward from 1/8 reverse.
No lateral thumb pitch, currently.
May try 1/4 palm on a ball I'm having plugged.

Like you said...If you squeeze the ball, it's "Hello forehead".

1/8th reverse, 3/16ths left lateral with the hole very tight(57/64), no tape so I can't squeeze it at all.  Very clean off the hand.
