I notice the two constants on this drill pin 4" to pap and 30 degree val angle.  Has anyone played with those numbers?  IE a 5" pin to pap vs 4"

I was wondering the same thing, but I noticed it says "while the Angle to the VAL (30°) and the PIN to PAP distance (4") will always remain constant for this drilling technique...."

I figured I'd follow the directions for my first time and see how I like it.

I figured Mo knows what he's talking about.  Sort of like the people that want to try rico, but don't want to do the 45° or use the balance hole.

I have a 5" Code (2nd) that I plugged and tried this on.  First drill I put the pin way too high for my rev challenged self that I never got the ball to do much of anything.  Figured I'd try this drill out.   I remember somebody else used this drilling on a long pinned Code and had pretty good luck with it.  I probably won't get a chance to throw it before leagues this week.

I ended up laying the ball out last night for a dual thumb drilling, got a drilled ball out figured my drill angle based upon 4" pin to pap and 30* val angle, my angle ending up being 55* placed the mb 1/2" right of thumb, but my ball of choice ended up with the cg 2.5" out of line to the right, needless to say I ended up with a ton of side weight, fingers to thumb were very balanced (note to self 4.5" pin is not long enough for me to do this drilling with} so I placed my x hole on my val, 3/4" down to remove 2 oz of side weight, like the drilling tho, ball reacted wonderfully, will post some more on it tonight when i get to my longer shot and can really see what it does

Oh on edit, ball was a Seismic Epicenter

So, this is the strongest drilling possible?  General reaction would be heavy midlane and strong arc?
