There are drillings with the Pin and the CG/MB stacked
AND then there are drillings with the Pin and the CG stacked at the leverage position.
The leverage position is with the pin at 3 3/8" from the bowler's PAP (axis point) and generally has the maximum flare because the dynamcis of the core is at the maximum imbalance. When the CG/MB is stacked below, this casuses not only maximum flare but makes the reaction the strongest it can be. (This is NOT the earliest nor is it the most hockey-stick shaped.)
Yes, because balls are so strong these days, such a drilling is not recommended for most balls for most bowlers with a decent release.
Higher pins get more length and more snap BUT ONLY as compared to the exact same ball with a lower pin. You're still concerned with the distance of the pin from the PAP. Balls with the pin over the ring finger and the CG/MB stacked below (MB is the range of 4.5" from PAP), will go slightly longer than those with the pin below, but since the pin-PAP distance is longer, flare will be delayed and the flip will take place SLIGHTLY further down the lane.
All this is GENERAL THEORY. Pin placement is NEVER decided by distances from and relationships to the finger holes, BUT ALWAYS to the bowler's PAP.
