It is caused by the friction created when clearing the ball. I have them on my thumb and fingers. They have been there for years.
If you are having to grip with your thumb you ball may not be fitted properly.

I agree 100 percent! Iceman's thumb, and hands look great! I have NO, problems! I use the Vise system, and have about 6 different units I can use with various sizes and shapes.
I use two of them 99.9 percent of the time. The great thing in my opinion is that every one of my 15 balls has that same, correct, comfortable feel!!
I also agree, and have seen some crappy fits, resulting in finger/thumb problems! Some of them to hideous to even show on this web site!!
If your having problems, see a coach, or drilling pro! If that person can't help, you need to find ANOTHER ONE!!
I bowl 3 leagues now, and my hands look marvelous! You would swear that Icemans hands might belong to a male hand model!
Yes Take things into your OWN HANDS, and find a solution, no one should have to bowl with the heart break of callouses!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
