I am looking for any information on the Thumbillow
from what I understand it is an insert for your thumb that should help create a more consisstant release and prevent sore thumbs. I have found a product desciption but no good info or pictures.
Does anyone have any info on this?

I found this post on the pba forums but nothing else.
I just started using Thumbillows last night because I squeeze the ball so much. I have tried tight thumb hole but then when I squeeze I hang up worse. I cannot no matter how I try,not squeeze the ball. Been doing it all my life. Have tried different pitches spans and everything. Nothing has worked. It never really bothered me until a couple of weeks ago. As I get older the hands seems to get tired quicker. The Tumbillow fills the void behind my thumb thus giving a tight grip. And when I squeeze I still get out clean. Feel like I have more control over ball now where I don't have to squeeze so much. don't feel like I have to grab the ball on the back swing to control it from falling off my hand, but I know that it will still come off my hand because the foam will give.when I squeeze. I always joked with people when they used them, but they seem like they will work great for me. I will give it a few weeks and see if hand don't feel better.

I saw something like that advertised on the bowling4fun.com site. It is the Ron Cliftons site. Check it out.
