Just curious, for those of you that like long pins, 5" or long, what is your favorite layout and what reaction do you get from it? Ive drilled a few in the past and liked the reactions, but I just picked up another one and am not quite sure what I want to do with it yet.

4.5 pin to PAP, 60 degree MB and a weight hole down. Gives me the best combination of ball clearing the heads, midlane roll, and backend continuation. Then adjust cover from there if needed. For me this puts the pin above and slightly right of my ring finger and if looking at the grip, gives it somewhat a stacked look. My PAP is not far off from yours, either.

If anyone out there is worried about the scores being too high, try duckpin!!

Pin above fingers with CG in palm and MB just above the thumbhole in a 1:00 to 1:30 orientation.
This gives me a very high pin position with a 4 X 4 and a small pin buffer on an AMF CODE.
Very clean through the heads, but a very strong, arcish backends. I can use this ball all night if I want to, just moving left and softening the release as the night goes on with no loss of power.
My pap is 4 1/8 X 1/2

I absolutely love the ability to have a high pin and still have the CG low enough that you can use a low weight hole, you can make a ball become a monster when it makes its move thanks to this. Thats personally what I like out of the pro-pin balls but because thats not a look I want an arsenal built around I tend to avoid them.

I have an X-factor reloaded with a 4 1/2 to 5 inch pin with the pin up above my ring finger at like 4 3/4 pin to pap with the mas bias just right of thumb at like 4 1/2, the cg is about 1 inch from center of grip. This ball gives me smooth role in the middle part of the lane and a strong but controlled move to the pocket. This ball allows me to play deeper inside where the backends are kind of jumpy. This is my only close to pro pin ball so far.
