Below is the illustration where a bowler's fingers and thumb hurts when he bowls.
Point A. Doesn't swell much but starts hurting really bad after few frames are bowled.
Point B. Hurts less but swells a lot. It needs to be scrapped quite often or doesn't come out easily, and then hurts a little more too.
Point C. Becomes hard and hurts a little.
Point D. Doesn't hurt at all, but has a small rounded callous.
Bowler uses Sarge Easter Grip. Span is like this. MF 4 and 1/8 with 1/8 Forward, 3/8 Lt Lateral. RF 3 and 5/16 with 5/8 Reverse and 3/8 Rt Lateral. Thumb with 1/8 Reverse and 3/8 Rt Lateral.
Seeking comments and suggestions.

Re: These points hurt
For me fitting is very personal. So please understand that without seeing the hand there many variables not being taken into account. On the fingers, I would "guess" the pitches need to move to the right or the holes / grips are too tight. On the thumb, I would again "guess" the thumb hole should be an oval, and possibly a little left pitch.
My real recommendation is to have IBPSIA PSO look at the hand and the ball to provide an accurate fit recommendation.

Thanks my dear. But I belong to a place where there is no Pro Shop Operator available in the entire country, let alone city.
Let me try to get the Pitches corrected as you suggested. I'll plug and drill, and report back. I'll just wait for few more suggestions.

Points A and B are probably due to squeezing. Either that or the hole is too tight or more likely, the pitches are off.
This post by Jim Merrell is relevant. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10396&p=80594#p80594" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Points C & D are likely indications that more right lateral (or less left lateral) pitch is needed in both holes. I'd try adding 3/16" right to start. That'd make you MF 3/16 left, RF 9/16 right.
I would also make the MF span 4 1/16 and 1/8 Forward and make the thumb 1/4 Forward by 3/8 right.
So the new grip would be, MF 4 1/16, 3/16 Left x 1/8 Forward, RF 3 5/16, 9/16 Right x 5/8 Reverse, Thumb 3/8 Right x 1/4 Forward.
But that's just one man's opinion based on the pictures you've posted. Your mileage may vary.

Thanks James. I took the suggestions. Went to Wiki. Read the Jim Merrell article.
Turned out, I had the spans all wrong. Read the Morich method 3 or four times, took out an old ball. Put thumb in, and marked my span.
It came out to 4 and 1/16 in MF and 3 in RF. The thumb is 105 deg bend backwards at the hinge. Skin is drier. Thumb average size in lengthmFan Chart shows I'm line B.
Now I need some advice on pitches. Help please.

Re: These points hurt
To be sure you've got your Sarge Easter spans and pitches correct, watch the video on Sarge Easter at brunsnick's site, link below. The video you want is in the bottom row, second from the left. -- JohnP
