You need to post it to a hosting service, no offense but I'm not downloading anything off a random site.

Yeah span is 5"ish IM currently 1/4 away both fingers thumb is 1/4 rev 1/8 right. I'm curious because I feel my thumb drag as i exit the ball this does-not promote a clean release and i'm curious what my options are.

Assuming the span is correct, if you are dragging at the release...try minimum changes as to know what to gauge any further changes on.
Leaving the reverse, change the lateral to 0 lateral pitch...throw and see if it lessens. Go from there.
Lateral pitch tends to effect how much the hand rotates around the ball before the thumb exits and reverse/forward tend to effect on the downswing as well as effecting gripping or aqueezing.

Using switch grips changes are quite easy to an extent, I have a slug with 0 lateral in it, not to much of a noticeable change. I might add I do have a longer thumb with somewhat clammy hands. Could this call for more reverse ?

That is not relaxed that appears to be correct.
Longer thumbs tend to neccessitate more reverese as well as slightly more left to help clear quicker.
When you say you feel no difference, is it through the rotation or on the way down?

the way through I have to use easy slide on my thumb well I have always used it and i have been told that is wrong. I feels like i cant just come through the ball with ease. It feels like my thumb is in the ball to long and I rotate around the ball slightly. I can say a feel a slight drag on the back of my thumb aswell.

Then try 3/8" reverse and 1/8" left and see how quickly your thumb exits.
