Question
I am 67 Have been using an extended Pro Release for years. I recently got a ball drilled measured off the release. My specs: 4/1 sixteenth span to both fingers, 0 finger pitch, 1/4wd, 1/8 under thumb. I have a tendancy to squeeze the ball Should I consider 3/8 fwd thumb? Also my middle finger hits against the release. would reverse pitch help? If so what range? Lastly someone recommended the Storm Gadget would it help the middle finger problem?  Thanks?

Answer
The Gadget would not be any different than what you are wearing concerning your middle finger.
When you have your ball fitted do you wear the pro release?  If not,  you need to do that because that will change your measurements.  That could be where the squeezing is coming from.
Reverse in the finger may help, but if check the span with your pro release on.

Good luck,
Chip
