So i experimented and had 2 different shops in 2 very different locations measure my hand. Below is what I currently have & also the combination of what the 2 pro shops had for me (both were kind of close, so just took the average)
I am wondering if the norm for fitting balls is to stretch hand a bit & put more reverse in fingers or does it just depend on the shop person in itself? Each person has been certified as well, which is kind of why I am asking. What I read on the Wiki & what I was measured up at is quite different. Kind of in a funk, so trying to get an idea on what to try on a test ball.
Current Specs:
RH, MF: 4 3/8", 7/16L, 1/8"F RF: 4 7/16", 7/16R, 1/8"F TH: 1/8"Reverse & 1/8"R
Putting their 2 measurements together:
MF: 4 7/16, 5/16"L, 3/16"R RF: 4 7/16", 9/16"R, 3/16"R TH: 1/8"Revers & 0"
Per Mo's instructions, if you have 1/8 Reverse, he suggests 1/8FWD in the fingers.
And per span & flexibility, I should have about 1/8" reverse in thumb. Thanks!

Re: Finger pitches
The wiki fit is proven to be a good starting point for most bowlers. That's what I'd use. -- JohnP
