Thanks Dizzy, that helped quite a bit. Basically what I'm doing is I'm being offered a NIB 15lb O Inferno. its a pin in, bout 3/8 inch. And I'm gonna try to make it more of a heavier oil ball, i'm not talking soup or anything like that, just something that will react when my Columbia Wired and Visionary Violet Gargoyle won't. was planning on hitting it with Brunswicks Rough Buff polish to make it the same grit cover as an Absolute. Still won't be as strong as an absolute but I think with my amount of hand I should be able to get it to work. I have a really high track, so I try to keep the Pin above the bridge a lot of times, but on this one I may think about sticking the pin below fingers, either that or I'll stick it where I have the pin on my Columbia Rock (pin in too) and thats above and to the right of the ring finger.
Kind of funny that Rock was a VERY angular ball, kind of surprising, but its right up there in angle with my Wired, which is a 5 inch pin drilled pin 1 1/2 - 2 inches above the bridge (about 4 inches above the midline) with the CG kicked out.
The other pin-in ball I owned was a Columbia Wild (probably favorite ball ever). and just like Dizzy was saying, it was a fairly even rolling ball. drilled pin below bridge. Kinda funny because I was told it would never amount to anything and it would hit like a marshmellow, 3 300s and 3 800s later, I think it worked just fine.
So is there any other opinions on Pin-in drillings? and how do my choices on drilling the OI sound? If you need any more info just check my profile, also open to doing some PMing if need be. Thanks for all the help guys.
