Title: CG Near Thumb......OK?
Post by: TheGom on August 03, 2014, 11:14:28 PM: Looking at a ball for a friend....I see a pin down drilling with the CG just above the thumb and to the right. Pin looks to be about a 4" pin.

More often then not I see layouts that suggest the CG to be placed near the center line but with some wiggle room up or down, left or right.

So what about it near the Thumb? OK?

I had a Crossroad that rolled amazing with a pin under ring and cg to the right of thumb. Was long and smooth, eventually added a hole to increase the flare when I needed a little more reaction downlane and the ball became a monster on the back
