In order to make a valid comparison, ALL the other variables (about 400+ of them) must be made constant, then you can compare a pin above the finger to XXXXX.
What do you want the XXXX to be?
As the pin is moved upwards, the drilled RG of the ball increase; this will generally, add to the length of the drilled ball. what it does to other things depends. Too many items to discuss briefly. Need to write (yet) a(nother) textbook.
