Does anyone know what pin placement means? For example: like above the finger holes or toward the thumb hole? I like to hook the ball a lot and I was thinking about placing a pin 4-inches or more above my ring finger. What would this make the ball do? I hope someone knows.

Small letters please. No need to yell.
A pin that far above the ring finger would, all other things being equal, give the ball massive length. In general the higher the pin the greater the length; the closer to the thumb the earlier the roll.

A friend has a Phenom with the pin placed about 3-4" above his ring finger and it picks up a pretty late roll. I think that high, by the time the ball gets around to reacting, it's practically at the pins. He gets very little reaction out of it, considering the Phenom was a very strong ball (and no, it's not a too-little-oil problem).
