Thumb Stuck in the Bowling Ball.

If it only happens once in a while, the bowling tip is use Easy Slide or some use Chap Stick on the back of your thumb. The bowling ball should slide off easier. Please don't use baby powder, it is illegal to use during a USBC game, because if drops on the floor or approach a bowler can slip and fall. Baby powder also leaves a residue in the thumb, that will build up over time. If the problem is more consistent, use sand paper or a small file to make the thumb hole bigger. But be careful, if you make it too big, then you will need to add bowling finger hole tape. This is a special tape that does not leave a gluey substance in the thumb hole. You would place the bowling finger hole tape at the back of the thumb hole for a snug fit. Usually, your thumb smells after a shower or a swim, and in the summer time heat and humidity. Hope this helps your Game, and your bowling enjoyment.
