Don't BREAK your THUMB!! Explaining proper thumb fit and pitch

[@majormeteor]

I put a half inch side pitch in my thumb hole. What I wonder is if this makes the track roll over the thumb hole. It is a very comfortable fit since your thumb naturally pitches out.

pitch in thumb is huge. Ihave a long span and for years I was using @ 3/8" away pitch. Recently after never quite being relaxed in thumb grip I went in an 1/8th time till now my whole arsenal is drilled 0 in the thumbs and I have a couple IT thumb slugs drilled at the 0 and a couple drilled to fit the 0 balls but an 1/8th away drilled into the thumb slug. Mostly use the 1/8 away slugs but at 6'4" w a questionable back sometimes the 0'S work better.

I am a 1960's style senior Full Roller with classic suitcase release. I use a conventional grip with 1/2" forward in fingers and 7/8" forward in thumb. Fingers and thumb hook into the ball like the way a junkyard claw picks up a car. No squeezing.

Where are you guys located? I'd love to have you look at my fit.
