I went out this weakend and realized I had an equipment issues. I decided to pull my freak and throw it for a while. The lanes had just been oiled. I shot a couple of 200's with it. I then pull my Fired up out, and I realized that I was putting more tilt and side rotation on the ball. I couldn't figure it out. I also realized it seemed to fit differently than my freak, and I love how my freak is drilled. Come to find out, it looks as if either A) thumb needs to be a little bigger or b) the span is shorter on my fired up by 1/8th of an inch.
The reason I mention A) is because my thumb goes in farther on my freak than my fired up, and could account for the span difference.
The fired up always seemed to fit good, but since I pulled an old ball out that was drilled perfectly, I realized I was wrong. Good thing I noticed it now, and can take care of it before league starts.
