hi pin chaser, funny you ask about a 1" pin. i have 2 balls with a 1" pin. 1. ebonite gamebreaker
2. brunswick fury.
1. on the gamebreaker (i got it used and for the most part i used the existing layout) i have the pin above and just slightly to the right of my ring finger with the cg swung out about 45Degree or so and have a weight hole on the pap finger quadrant. i had to drill my finger holes (gripless) a little deeper but the ball goes down and makes a pronounced left turn. at first looking at the layout i didnt think i was gonna like it but now i love it. im a stroker but can play a little bit inside if i have to and i know the gamebreaker will make the turn with this layout. my pap is 5 1/4 right 5/8 up and throw bout 15+ mph and have decent revs but im not a cranker by any means.
2. on the brusnwick fury, i had the pin below my fingers with the cg kicked out and didn't like the reaction, so i gave it another try and plugged and redrilled the ball with a slight variation of the gamebreaker layout and wow. what a difference. the ball went down and i knew it was gonna kick over. now the ball is a lot more readable, the any adjustments you have to make will be easier.
both balls have a low top weight (2-2.5 oz), and they both have pretty decent size weight hole, and because of the layout, you may have to drill the fingers a little deeper but thats not too bad.
im glad i redrilled the fury. i was getting ready to sell it.
i hope this helps. i can get you a pic of the layout if that'll help.
andy
