    Same thing happened to me too when I got my first/only ball drilled. Oh man I was in PAIN PAIN PAIN after bowling just a few balls. Part of it was my improper release but that span was way off. Had the driller flip the vise grips to give me an 1/8" by giving me the plain ovals instead of lifts, then he drilled the thumb hole bigger to move it closer. Just awful.

    Just revisiting this now. Yes, got the ball re-drilled the end of the summer. It was shortened 1/4 inch, and then redrilled a second time with short span to get an oval hole because it was pointed out how flat and well, oval his thumb is. Took 5 people until one gave him a thumb hole he was comfortable with.
