Title: track clipping thumbhole
Post by: stanski on June 28, 2004, 07:55:09 AM

Ok quick question... in the last 6 months, my track has raised significantly, along with my revrate, i think due to staying behind the ball longer. THe problem is, on every ball i own, my track now clips the thumbhole, even on balls with pins above my ring. Its not a problem on the ones that just barely get clipped, but on one ball with a low pin, it completely rolls over my thumbhole and messes with the reaction. do you guys have any suggestions on things i could do, because all of the suggestions i've heard on drilling the ball different have already been in effect due to my current drillings.

weightholes are drilled in them already? if so, maybe there in the wrong place

I used to have the same problem.....particularly if the pin was below the fingers.

I still track very high, but do not clip the thumbhole anymore. Honestly the best solution is to work on your release and try to come around it just a hair more than you currently do.

Weightholes will not really help if you are that far behind the ball. They can HELP....but more than likely they wouldn't help enough.
