I got my own bowling ball on Monday, had it custom drilled and everything. I've only ever used house balls and it seemed too tight on my thumb; in fact the ball was getting stuck on my thumb. The pro shop guy assured me it was all right, I was just gripping it too hard and it wasn't really too tight. He's probably right but I didn't want to use the ball for the first time in front of my friends Sunday and have it get stuck on my thumb so I went to an alley today to practice first. It did get stuck on my thumb one time and I dropped the ball behind me on the backswing. Everyone was staring at me like I was truly stupid and I wanted to die.
