Example 4" pin to PAP 1" from val
vs
4" pin to PAP 3" from val
What difference in reaction would you expect to see?

That link has some info. Storm refers to the VAL as the PAL and gives a little info about what the pin buffer does.

Using a dual angle layout, the second angle is similar to the pin buffer. Smaller angle = shorter distance = quicker response. Larger angle = longer distance = smoother or slower response.

What correlation does the distance from the Pin to Val have?
The inverse of Pin to ML. It's the same thing described a different way. The dual angle method is also the same thing described a different way. In the years past many standard layouts used pin buffer to ML to describe various reactions. The pin buffer layout is easy to do, easy to understand and easy to visualize. I think it's the best / easiest method to layout a ball.

In combination with surface prep it affects the way the ball responds to friction. Example #1 would be very angular compared to example #2 that would be smoother or slower.
