What is a tiny hole below the thumb on a bowling ball for?

In tenpin bowling, bowlers who are having difficulty with release, usually related to the ball sticking on the thumb, will sometimes have a very small hole drilled just below the thumb hole, at angle that enters into the lower part of the thumb hole. This is to allow air into the lower region of the thumb hole and prevent a vacuum from taking hold.

The size of the ball isn't important in your case--the size of the holes you have drilled in it is. If it's your ball, you can get whatever size holes drilled you need...so if you have a thumb two inches in diameter and you want to use a 12-pound ball, they can hook you up.

What comes out first when the ball is relaeased?

When using a conventional (or beginner's) grip, in which the middle and ring fingers go into their respective holes up to the second knuckle, all three fingers usually come out of the ball at the same time.However, most good bowlers use what's known as a fingertip grip, in which those fingers only go in to the first knuckle. With this kind of delivery, the thumb exits the ball a fraction of a second before the fingers do, allowing the two fingers to generate extra turn on the ball and thereby increase its hook.
