I just started back after a 15 year break and bought a new ball in February. Feels great. I have no issues at all with how it feels. Bought another ball for spares (from the same PSO) and I have had trouble with the thumb hanging occasionally. Went back in 3 times to have him open up the thumb but still no better. Starting to think the pitch is off a little. He had my original ball there when he drilled the new one so not sure how they ended up different but they definitely aren't the same. I only use the spare ball for the 4, 7, and 8 so only about 5 times a night. I know the grips are a little tighter too and last week noticed after throwing it about 3 times in a row at 7's my fingertips were white. Going to have him put a little bigger grips in it next week.
Thinking about a thumb insert in both balls and while he is at it have him check that pitch and adjust it. I never used an insert in my thumb so never even considered it.
