Question
hey chip its me again ive been learning a lot and been drilling a good amount of balls .the new pro shop is doing well. the question i have is about  the thumb hole and how to determine side pitch right left under, etc.ive seen some pros have you grab there arm .what does that tell you and what else should i know.                                   thank you matt conley

Answer
It helps tell you what direction the latteral pitch should be.  Most people dont really need much side pitch in their thumb hole.  If you can find the book by Bill Taylor called fitting and drilling a bowling ball, you will have all of the info that you need.

Good luck,
chip
