Finger/Thumb Pitches

Post by akcraigw1999 »

My current fit is:
LF: 4" cut to cut 3/8" Reverse Not sure on the lateral but i know its left and no more than 1/2"
RF: 3 7/8" cut to cut 1/2" Reverse 5/16" Right
Thumb: 1/8" Reverse 1/16" left
LF: Size 3 grip with vacu inserts
RF: Same as LF
Thumb: Cone 7

Problems:
Lately I have been having problems with my thumb. I get pain on the sides of my thumbs and sometimes I get some small pressure spots on my thumb.
Also sometimes I feel like I'm dropping the ball in my release and then, once in a while, the ball completely falls off my hand in my downswing.
The reason for so much reverse, especially in my fingers, is I had surgery on my RF and I don't have much flexibility in them anymore.
Really just looking for suggestions on possible grip changes.
