lol thanks for being so helpful but the questions keep coming, do you know about top weight and pin position, to give maximum hooked when drilled correctly

It's a pearl ball, but it dosen't have a high gloss polish on it like most pearls. It is called Rough Buff. You should not need to sand it if you are playing 2nd arrow.(what I play) It will hook PLENTY in box finish. But if you really want more hook, it CAN be sanded. I'd give it a shot in box finish first.

Box finish should be enough for anyone playing up the track. It's my humble opinion that if you need to sand an Absolute you are throwing the wrong ball. It's got to be hands down the best medium to medium heavy ball I've ever rolled.

most people say that a 2-3" pin, and 3 oz top weight gives the driller the most options layout wise.

My thought on top weight is since you sound like a stroker, you'd want more top weight to help with hitting power. On pin placement, I believe putting the pin 3 3/8" from the your Positive Axis Point and Center of Grip and 12:00 aobve the Center of Gravity will maximize hook, won't help with length. Then you may need to polish/bring-up the coverstock. Feel free to correct me because I'm rusty on some things.

Good post Ben. If I wasn't maybe losing my left thumb soon, I'd get an AI, too. It's sick!

I worked at a bowling alley for a year, but not in the pro shop. I just love bowling, and I study this technical crap all the time. I spend literally hours a day reading stuff and talking to people trying to learn this stuff. It's confusing!
