My understanding of Axis Leverage is that the CG is placed on the bowler's PAP and often there is also a balance hole drilled through this point. This layout, again to my understanding, is best used when playing down and in or when you need to control the backend. That being said, how does pin placement affect this layout? Is it generally...
Pin to PAP distance:
0" - minimum flare potential, core is in it's most stable position, earliest roll with smoothest arc.
1 1/8" - 1/3 of flare potential, stable core position, earlier roll with smooth arc.
2 1/4" - 2/3 of flare potential, semi stable core position, early roll with strong arc.
3 3/8" - max flare potential, most unstable core position, medium length with the most hook potential.
4 1/2" - 2/3 of flare potential, semi stable core position, late roll with flip/arc reaction.
5 5/8" - 1/3 of flare potential, stable core position, later roll with a flip reaction.
6 3/4" - minimum flare potential, stable core position, latest roll with strongest flip.

...or, does pin placement not matter as much with Axis Leverage and it's more the placement of the CG (and of course surface) that affects the reaction?
