RE: Thinking about trying a thumb release?
Don't have any experience other than the Truball ST-3. This release cam recommended by Matt (Rick James), and I love it. It fits well in my hand, it's comfortable, and has decent adjustability. It doesn't have the ITS system of some of the Carter line, but it's a fine release. From what I read when I was researching my release, is that sometimes it takes a few different releases to get one that really sits in your hand well, so buying used might be a good route to go. I lucked out, and the ST-3 was a great fit the first time around. Good luck in your search.
Oh, and BTW, the new ST-360 adds a nice swivel feature to the hook/head which basically eliminates string/loop twist and torque.
