I'd think so.  Might be finger heavy with the CG up higher, but you can always drill deep fingers or a wt hole well above the mid plane.  But hey, I'm not a driller.

Adam,

I have the same drill on my Sling Blade with only a 2" pin with no problems.

Drill the fingers deeper if the ball has a high top.

It all depends on your span and top weight from what I understand.  Plus have your driller check to make sure the cg is correct.  When I bought the Doom I purchased two of them.  Both had 4" pin outs.  I drilled them different from each other.  Well the one I drilled with the pin to the right of my ring had the cg mismarked.  It was really a 3" pin out.  I ended up trading that one in.  I don't like that layout that I put on the ball.

Well I told my driller today to order me another Doom with a long pin out.  I should get it soon.  I'm going to drill it the same as the one I have now.  Pin above and in between the bridge with the cg kicked right to 1oz no balance hole.

I think you should be OK.  If your worried then see if you can send it back and exchange it for a longer pin out one.
