Re: Wiki basic fit
I'm still making slight adjustments, but overall I'm very pleased with the fit the guide gave me. My tilt has gone up! My rev rate appears to have gone up! My grip pressure is down! My carry is about the same on the house china...but my transitions are easier.

Re: Wiki basic fit
I too just refit a ball following the wiki guide to the letter. Unfortunately I haven't had much time use it since drilling it, I've rolled about 2 games with it on 2 separate occasions and it definitely feels different. I can't say much more than that since I just haven't used it enough, plus I'm out of practice so wasn't getting to the line as well as I normally do.
While I can't say just how good it feels, I can say that it doesn't feel bad...which is saying a lot since I now have forward pitch in my fingers with almost the same exact span. I used to have reverse in them and forward in my thumb, my thumb is now at 1/8 reverse, which I'm undecided about as the one thing I did notice was the ball came off a lot quicker but I'm not sure if that was me or the reverse (and it didn't really fall off so I might just need to get used to the feeling). I'm sure the thumb isn't too big and it has very little bevel on it, it might actually be a little tight and need a little more bevel as it was leaving a slight red ring around the base of my thumb.

Re: Wiki basic fit
From my initial wiki fit, I've added some rev to ring mfinger. I've decrease my middle finger span by 1/16 b/c of some knuckle pain. I've reduced my rev to 0 in the thumb to further reduce my grip pressure. But, I'm making good shots and thats all that matters.
