Quick question for Mo and whomever would like to chime in.
When Mo gave me a fitting last year it saved my bowling life. Now I have a quick question.
Would lengthening my spans a little bit now that i have had a little time to heal be a bad thing?
I am starting to feel a little cramped up in my balls with the new spans. It has to be a mental thing, but throwing the WMB with my old span Monday ( I could tell i was stretched too far ) then throwing the newer balls I could just feel the difference.

Re: Changing Grip Spans
i would recheck my fitting to find out why feel cramped. This can have several reasons. Check the Thumbhole as well.
It is not a wonder when you feel a difference @ different spans.
I drilled a ball 1/8th in both spans shorter (just to see what happens) I had to squeeze the ball. A propper fitting is essential for a good consistant relaxed release.
Check it!!!!!!!!!

Re: Changing Grip Spans
I do plan on having my driller recheck my spans just to make sure,
My main concern is if a little longer feels better off my hand, I do not want to re injure my hand \ wrist again. A year later and my memory is a bit foggy but I seem to remember Mo saying that as my wrist felt better going a little longer would not hurt. or i could be wrong and Mo will slap me down soon

Re: Changing Grip Spans
You could split the difference between the 2 spans depending on how different they are.

Re: Changing Grip Spans
BE CAREFUL! DON'T RE-INJURE YOUR HAND. MAKE SURE ALL THE BALLS HAVE THE SAME SPANS. DON'T FALL PRAY TO PENIS ENVY! YOU CAN CHECK WITH ME NEXT TIME I'M IN PARKERSBURG.
