does rash use a semi fingertip? it looks like his span should be longer if it were a full finger tip grip... i tuck my pinky as well but his three fingers almost line up, where as my pinky is much shorter than the other too while tucked...

even though they said Sean Rash was bowling with a Wicked Siege but did he have the Evil Siege in in the first game on 12-12-10.
