thanks for all of the suggestions so far.
Jabroni,
I realize what you're saying, and you're right. There is no right or wrong answer. I know that there are a million factors that could lead to different answers in regard to my question. I'm just looking for some general info. I'm not expecting anybody to be able to tell me exactly what I should or should not do here. To give some further info, here is more info on my current stuff:
Real Deal: pin below ring, cg slightly kicked right, LMB below and right of thumb, Slightly polished finish--Clears heads and offers strong arc through the backend
Ult. Inferno: Pin even with ring, cg stacked below, Highly polished---Revs up quickly but still clears the heads and flips hard off of any dry it finds.
Abs. Inferno: Pin just below ring, cg just off midline, box finish---Begins grabbing the midlane a bit harder than most pearls before making a strong, arcy move on the back.
Blade: Pin right of ring, cg under ring, highly polished---All about skid-flip. The polish gets it down the lane and it makes a hard crack on the backend. Good for going deep on an open shot.
Blade Pearl: Pin below bridge, cg kicked right, box finish---Good length and a hard charge off the dry. A little longer than the Absolute with a more angular move on the back. Doesn't cover as many boards.
Blazing: Pin above bridge, cg kicked into the negative 1-2", box finish---Long down the lane with a strong but steady move in the back. Best suited for dry heads and flying backends.

I can't bowl 300, but I can bench 330 : )
