The pin, like the MB, is a preferred spin axis, so you shouldn't get a dud.  I would expect it's like drilling a ball with a 9" pin by flipping it over and using the spot 180* from the pin like you would the regular pin.

Take a look at the full roller drillings for some balls with a strong mass bias.

Something like this you mean: http://www.bowlingball.com/info/unique-layout-pin-under-thumb-in-track.html

I know three people (myself included) that now have a variation of this, i.e. two with pin 1-1.5" below the thumb, and the third has the pin just above the thumb. The thrid ball needed a hole to move the bowtie, and fingers drilled deeper for USBC compliance. (EDIT) Of course all three are symetrical balls, so I'm not sure why I answered a MB question...

All three have a nice long roll with very smooth arc. Hits pretty well. Adjustments require speed (not angle) changes. I plan on getting another ball and drilling a pin above the fingers with about 6-6.75" pin-pap to see what sort of difference there is. Just haven't gotten a round tuit yet.

I've done it.  On an old Nitro R2, pin 1.5 inches right (ie,  away from track) of thumb, cg stacked above (ie, straight over from grip center).  Acted like most negative weighted balls I've thrown.  Very clean thru the mids; while I could use it and play the ditch, it was best suited for when I wanted to play deep and tight, i.e. left of 15 without much swing.
