I have a full rollers ball in the shop, where they inverted the pin and the ball is legal side to side and fingers to thumb, but has 3 full oz of bottom weight.

I looked for that spec manual today and since the new bowl.com site is a peach to navigate i got frustrated very quickly
I thought it was 3 oz but other guy at shop said it was less

I know finger and thumb are 1 oz max but what is the top to bottom weight max? 1 oz? 2? 3?

That is by far one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Do you really think pro shop operators have all of USBC's rules memorized and can recall each of them on command?
I don't expect them to have the rulebook memorized. I do expect them to remember the four or five specifications they're directly responsible for keeping. Top/bottom weight, finger/thumb weight, side weight, and maximum hole sizes, all for 10-16# balls are about all a professional driller needs to concern himself with. For lighter balls, you're probably looking at a plastic ball being drilled for a kid, so put the CG in the grip center and call it a day.
How hard is that to remember? By the time you've done the first week's worth of drilling, only the most drool-slicked mouth breather would have trouble remembering those specs.
