Numbness in Ring Finger
Posted: March 11th, 2018, 11:56 am
Hello everyone.
For the past 2 weeks I've been feeling numbness on the pad of my ring finger (last joint) after bowling. I've been using the same drilling on all my balls since December, and I haven't had any issues until 2 weeks ago.
I've gotten a new Son!q yesterday, and we decided ro reduce the ring finger span by 1/8th.
That didn't change a thing, other than the ball feeling much less secure compared to my old ones, and I've been catching myself knuckling again and sometimes dropping the ball, an issue I haven't had with my old drillings. Picutre of RF span shows span actually beeing too short now.
I don't feel any pressure on the nails with the finger inserted, I just feel a lot of weight on the ring finger during the swing. But this has always been the case, and I've been trying to deliberately shift the ball weight towards the index finger in the stance and during the swing.
Full Spans:
MF: 4 1/4, 1/4 left, 0 linear
RF old: 4 3/8, 9/16 right, 1/8 reverse (have 1 ball witth 1/4 reverse on both fingers, same issue)
RF new: 4 1/4, 9/16 right, 1/8 reverse
Thumb: 1/8 left, 1/8th reverse, sweaty thumb, thumb angle 80 degrees (very tight to average tight),
Does anyone have any idea why this might happen? Why was i able to bowl 12 games a week without any issues for 3 months and now Im starting to have troubles?
Could it be technique related? Been working a lot on my swing and release.
Could a drilling that naturally shifts the ball weight more towards the middle/indexfinger help? (something I've been pondering about for quite some time now) if yes, what would you recommend?
I appreciate any help.
