Question
I have a lot of trouble with inside of my thumb getting tore up My current pitch is at zero with 1/4 right.Could you please tell me what i need to do so that i won't keep tearing my thumb up.

Answer
When  dealing with thumb wear, the first thing to do is change the pitch the direction you are seeing the wear on your thumb.  1/4 right is a bit more than might be needed, but in rare cases.  This could be part of the reason. Also, depending on what your span is, you might need to look at the zero as well.

Good luck,
Chip
