This DOT Technology isn't really something that is unheard of. Back in the late 90's there were several occasions where my PSO would receive a shipment of Bonanza 300 blems/2nd quality balls [EBI blems]. Many times the pins were so far out, they were almost on the back of the ball. To lay them out, the PSO would measure and draw a new pin on the exact opposite side of the ball from the actual pin. Then layout the ball based on that newly drawn pin. Sure, the core was basically upside down at that point. However with the symmetrical cores back in the late 90's it made virtually no difference in ball reaction. I had several great rolling and hitting Bonanza 300 balls (Boss Titanium, Nitro/R2 Pearl, Track Triton Coral, etc]. None ever cracked in the bridge or anywhere else on the ball.
The only difference between the Bonanza balls and the DOT Technology is that the pin is marking the actual bottom of the core, and the DOT shows the real top of the core. If this proves to dramatically reduce cracking I imagine the other manufacturers will follow suit or develop their own unique versions of pouring and marking a ball like this.
