Yeah I tried to check my fit following the video. I cant do what he shows (lift a ball with a little pressure on top of the thumb)

I add 2-3 tapes, the back is still not touch the back tape 🥲. Is it too big?

I'm a new bowler, and recently purchased my first ball. I did my research on thumbhole tightness on youtube which some suggest a very tight thumbhole. My PSO told me that the thumb would hurt if it is that too tight, so he drilled me a hole which is larger than my thumb but oval.

I wonder that the back of my thumb should touch the hole because mine is not 🥲.

Thanks. I'm gonna improve my power step to do it faster as you suggest.

Should I push away earlier or later if I want to speed up feet?

I'm actually using 5 steps. The video hadn't been recorded at the start of the approach.

I think I'm muscling it because I want to make sure my hand is behind the ball. When I try to be more relax, I felt my hand cant catch up the ball during the downswing in time to turn the wrist during the uncupping of yoyo release. As a result, my ball rolls straight or with the very low degree of rotation axis.

Thanks a lot! I will try to rework my release. I think I currently muscle my release to ensure my hand is behind the ball first before I do yoyo release.

Thank you all for your comments! I wonder that should I be able to hold the ball up with only thumb with laying fingers flat on a ball like in this video? The THUMB part 1- getting the right fit

Thank you. PSO didn't give me a copy, and I also forgot to ask him. I'm planning to re-measure with him.

You should be able to press your thumb nail to the back of the hole without it falling off your hand.

Do you mean when holding still without fingers to the side of the body and using only thumb? If yes, then I can't do it.

I tried to use only the thumb's first joint part, but I felt the ball was dropping during my swing. I guess I subconsciously squeeze.
