thumbhole

Grip slot feature

A thumbhole is an opening sized for a thumb to pass through.

On a bowling ball, it's one of the finger holes.

On a garment sleeve, it's a hole at the cuff that lets the thumb extend while the fabric covers the hand for warmth: a running shirt with thumbholes.

Wind instruments like recorders and clarinets have thumbholes for pitch control.
