Help Please. How do I explain this pattern?

Hi, I'm just curious as to whether anyone can give an explanation that I can use to give others when it comes to how my balls get drilled.  I've been labeled as a "Full Roller" and it's been said that there's a lot of forward roll on my shot.  When I used to have balls drilled with the pin placed to the right of Ring (like most righties), my track would clip the finger and thumb holes often.

Now, it's almost as if the pin is on the complete opposite side of the ball from the fingers.  The weight holes are usually placed where the Ring finger normally would be for someone else, while the fingers are drilled through the label.  I get the same reaction as anyone else might get throwing these balls, however my track goes from the left side of the middle finger, through the span, and out past the right side of the thumb hole.

Pictures can be seen here.  It's the absolute inferno and Original Infernos that have this pattern.  I also have a Red Pin classic that has the thumb drilled directly to the right of the pin (kinda like a backward drilling with no weight hole).

Trying to sell off these balls, so any help regarding in explaining this to me (so that I might be able to explain to others) is appreciated.  Pics are located at the top and bottom of this post.

Are the CG's on the grip center's of the balls?

The pictures I've looked at don't clearly show the pin location.  They take a long time to load, so I'm done looking.  --  JohnP

thanks to those that helped, found a lil more info.

I've found out some more info on the drill pattern.  Page 10 in this PDF document:

"Full Roller Leverage"
This drilling produces most hook, flare and backend reaction for any full-roller.

Draw line from pin through CG.  Place pin 3 3/8" from PAP on that line (center of grip will be 10 1/8" from pin on line).  Place balance hole halfway between pin & midplane.  Pin will be 3 3/8" beyond midplane above midline.
