Time to go to the shop for sure. If you have a choice of pro shops I would suggest trying out another one than the original driller.

I don't want to create another thread so I'll ask here.
First of all Pro Shop fixed my Spit Fire. But now it looks same as in photo smile

But another thing.
I don't have videos, photos. But I painted how oil stripes goes through thumb and middle finger hole. Oil stripes always goes through thumb hole, and some times it goes through middle finger hole corner, but not much, maybe few milimeters and sometimes very near finger hole.



So can it be because of bad throwing?

When I drilled this ball driller didn't ask me about PAP, I didn't even know that PAP is. Now I understand a little bit. Itryed to throw a ball in few different ways, but it oil always goes through thumb hole, and near middle finger hole.
So can it be because if bad PAP?

Ball hooks, but still I think that oil stripes should be much more further from holes...

This is because your hand is on the side of the ball at release, and your thumb and fingers are coming out at about the same time. Keep your hand behind the ball and make sure the thumb comes out first, and your Track should move off the finger holes.

This type of Track happens when your thumb and fingers come out of the ball at the same time, try to let the thumb come out of the ball before your fingers. The easiest way to fix this is to stop bending your thumb in the hole, try to keep your thumb nail on the back of the thumb hole. If the ball feels like it is going to slip from your hand, then add enough tape to the thumb hole to where the ball stops slipping. If your thumb has so much tape in the hole that you can barely get the thumb in the hole, but it still slips, then you need to go more forward with your thumb pitch, I suggest 1/4" at a time.
