Over the years I've taught myself to hook with lane balls, but now that I've joined a league I'm looking to get my own ball. The thread guide is good and I'm going to talk to a pro, but I'm wondering about some of my habits and if any are going to screw me over. Mainly, my grip: no thumb, resting the ball on the palm. Is that horribly wrong? I've tried using my thumb, but with the drilling pattern my wrist never felt secure.

buffto posted:Yeah, there are definitely some no-thumb exceptions (Mike Miller, Jason Belmonte, Osku Palermaa, plus a few local bowlers you've never heard of), but generally speaking it's best to learn with the thumb. I threw thumbless for the first year or so I bowled and plateaued around 195-200 on some really easy conditions. Once I got a ball drilled for my hand and I worked out the kinks, my consistency went way up. Haha, I'm still a ways from having that problem, but probably better to nip it early. Is wrist support something that a proper fitting would help? It does feel like the holes for the finger size I need are too close together.

Upped my PB game 40 pts to 254, not bad for a lane ball
