    When we got my Grudge Hybrid, whenever I see it I felt a pinch on the finger print side of the thumb just about the crease. Looking at the thumb hole, the slug wasn't drilled right in the middle, there was more slug on top of the hole. I had it redrilled in the middle and felt so much better.

    Like I said, if you don't like the feel of the sock, try the Bio Skin from Vise. Its a smooth surface, and a lot of the guys around here use it on their thumbs for similar reason's you're having. Hope it helps

    I used one tonight and for the first 5 frames I couldn't hit the ocean with an aircraft carrier, but I did manage a 173 by striking out in the 9th & 10th. after that I had a 241 and a 204.

    Nice recovery, so did you finally get used to the sock and you bowled well or did you ditch it?

    Also what was the issue with the first 5 frames? Just getting used to the sock?

    I had no intentions of ditching it, so I fought thru it and once I got the feel I was set! lol
