Pin above bridge or ring finger. Mass bias at 75 or 60 degrees. Have mine drilled pin above bridge, mass bias at 75 degrees, and it absolutely rips on the backend.

About 5 and a half inches. I get great length and a very angular backend (which is what this ball was designed to do). If the lanes get really tight, then I switch over to my NVD with a 4 and a half inch pin for more midlane.

Which do you use for heavier patterns? and what surface do you keep you magic?

I use the NVD for heavier oil (1000 grit). My Magic is at 4000 grit.

We had a guy in our company drill his Magic strong, 4 inch pin from axis. It didn't roll very well...

I drilled mine up 5 1/2 from axis and it rolls phenomenal. I believe you're pretty safe if you keep the pin 5 inches from axis.
