Just get a good dry lane ball,to begin with, and you can put the pin around 5", 5.5" from the PAP and not worry about it.
If the stock surface is too strong, sand it to 4000 grit and polish. Use the backend-reducing polishes, if regular polish is not weak enough.
Forget about a special drilling. That's useful with strong cores or flexible cores, in general. If your ball has a strong core, it's not a dry lane ball.
Some good dry lanes balls: Neptune, Power Groove Dry/R, Blue/Green Centaur, STraight FLush (pancake core), Tornado warning (pancake core), Slate Blue Gargoyle (pearl urethane), Purple Rhino Pro. There's always some older ball on Ebay also.
