Bowling/Question about ball fit

Question
I'm wondering, how snug should a thumb hole be in a finger tip drilled bowling ball.  I'm a bowler who keeps his hand behind the bowl with medium rotation on it, (almost like a Norm Duke style). Can you help me out on this one?  Also, what pitch should I put, if any. Awaiting your response.

Answer
Ray,
Most people need a hole snug enough so they don't feel the need to squeeze. A properly fit ball usually allows a player some wiggle room, if the hole is slightly loose (pitches and spans help control where the ball rolls off).

Not knowing anything about you, your hand or your game, I can not suggest pitches, hole sizes, or spans.

The ball should let go of you.

What pitches do you have? Can you send your fit sheet? Thanks for the question.
