Question
Hi Chip, I just got a Columbia Wrath drilled up and bowled 4 games with it.  My finger inserts are a little tight but what would cause my finger tips to burn especially my middle finger.  I love how the ball feels and the backend reaction is great.  

Answer
Having the inserts too tight can cause the burning sensation as will having too much forward pitch in the finger holes.

There is no need to feel any kind of pain or burning sensation when you bowl.  Talk to your ball driller about it and see what he/she suggests.

Good luck,
Chip
