Full Roller

What's the preferred top weight and pin distance (length) for a full-roller?

If you want the standard CG-in-palm, pin-at-7:30, then go with the pin length that puts the pin as far as you want it.  Like all other balls, 3" pin with 3oz top weight will hardly ever be "wrong".

There are other full roller layouts, but the dominant one is what I gave.  If your driller feels like that's the only option, I'd just get a 3" pin.  3 1/2" will give you something like a leverage layout.  2-3oz of top weight won't require you to drill the fingers or thumb extra deep and you won't need a weight hole.

If you are looking for a little stronger reacting full-roller layout, check out Full Roller Leverage on page #9 (page 10 of the pdf).  For this one, you would want as long of a pin as you can get (actually had lots of success with "blems" having pins in the 6-7" range!).
