What i want to try to accomplish is to lower my track with the finger pitch .  How would i go about doing that?-----Question-----
If i wanted to hang on with the fingers longer with the thumb exiting properly; what kind of finger pitches would I use?

If you want to keep your fingers in the ball longer, you will need to add forward pitch to the fingers.  Along with the added pitch, you will need to shorten your span as well.  If not, you will lose any advantage the change in pitch may give you.  One negative that may happen with this change is the potential of hitting up on the ball, but if you can relax your swing enough, you should not have that problem.

Good luck,

Answer
If you want to change pitches to try and lower your ball track, you will need to add left pitch to all three holes.  Just add 1/4 left to the pitches you are using now.  You will need to change both of the fingers and the thumb as well.  Doing this will allow  you to get around the ball with less effort and should lower your track.

Good luck,
Chip
