Hold your hands palm to palm. Is your fretting hand larger than your other hand? Each finger on mine is about half an inch longer. Just something weird I noticed, my hand wasn't like that when I started.

No.

It sounds like in your teens you are still evolving right before our eyes, which is a miracle of biology that science urgently needs to hear about. Get yourself to your nearest research facility quick! There's guys in white coats want to start dissecting you immediately!

Odd. He's obviously not using his right hand like all the other teenage boys and it's withering away as a result.

Still, Dr Kellogg would approve.

:shock:

"Kellogg strongly warned against the habit in his own words, claiming of masturbation-related deaths "such a victim literally dies by his own hand..."

...Buxom, this merely means you're a bad clapper.

Long live the Queen!

Cheers!

Maybe you're developing really thick callouses.

My callouses have worn off, actually. I've been practicing more than usual. Maybe this explains my being adept at SSBM and driving in TBOGT. either way, one of my hands is still larger than the other.

Funny enough... I was watching an interview with Steve Vai, if mean just now, for the first time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raxhgWqS2eU. He talks about your issue at about 11:30.

He claims to have willed it to happen.

Weirdly, yes. Never noticed that before! :shock:

All the fingers on my left hand are longer, but my right thumb is longer than the left one. I'm mutating! :shock:

I'm thinking just the opposite Ceri. He's wearing his right hand down to a nub.

What you should notice, is when you're stretching you fingers out,,,you're little fretting finger should be going farther....

If not, start using it more....

You mean my pinky? I can't use it. I demolished it playing football years ago and it hasn't been the same since. I can use my index, middle, and ring, and quite frankly, I'm satisfied.

To answer your question, no, mine are the same size.
I don't believe that bones can stretch as a result of repetative exercise. It's probably just a growth spurt, although just in one hand is very odd.
