Leverage is when the pin is at 3 3/8" from the Positive Axis Point.  That's the maximum flare/hook (in general) that you'll get out of a ball.

Label leverage = pin at 3 3/8" from PAP, CG in center of grip.

Max leverage = pin and CG at 3 3/8" from the PAP (pin usually 1-2" from the ring finger, CG more or less stacked underneath, just below midline)

Axis leverage = pin at 3 3/8" from PAP, CG on PAP

Rev leverage = pin at 3 3/8" from PAP (closer to midline) and CG to the right of the thumb.

Ebonite has some good pictures and descriptions.
