Clumsy: presumably good for hitches ? (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all thumbs

'clumsy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for all thumbs that I've seen before include "ham-fisted" , "Very clumsy due to hand deformities" , "Manually clumsy, fingers too short and thick" , "Manually clumsy from digital aberration" , "Manually clumsy, too many large digits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
