Speaking of finger pitches and such, I have been tinkering a little bit with a few balls and came up with instead of having like 3/16 - 1/4 reverse in thumb 1/8 left (I know sounds crazy) to having like 1/16 reverse or 0 in the thumb and from a 1/8 forward ring finger 3/16 right/1/16 forward middle 3/16 left to 0 middle 1/4 left and 1/16 reverse ring finger 3/16 right? Just throwing this out there compared to what I have in the 3 balls. Due to how the base of my thumb is shaped, I do have to have a decent amount of bevel.

Hope that made sense. My current pap is 5 1/2 over 1/2 up, right hander. I throw about 16 - 17 with around 300 - 400 revs depending on ball.

I would like to increase tilt a little bit and some revs. With my hand in the ball, I would like to decrease the slight pressure on the right side of my middle finger at the joint. Could be just the shape of the insert or finger hole though.
Stats:
Right handed
Pap is 4 3/4 x 3/8 up currently
Speed around 16.5 off hand
Tilt in the 14-16* range
Rev rate: around 325 - 350 or so
Axis rotation in the 25-70* range
I bowl on Brunswick synthetics. Ths...
