Question
What is the correct starting point for finger left and right pitch with a 1/4" bridge for a right hander ?
Thanks.

Answer
Each bowler may have different lateral pitches, depending on their hand.  However, there are a few choices that most will start out with.  
Here are the ones I have seen.  M-0,R 5/8 right
                               M-1/4 left, R-3/8 right
                               M-3/8 left, R- 1/4 right.
It can be pretty much anywhere in between, depending on the hand.
These are for a right hander.

Good luck,
