*read carefully*
in lame terms pin down GENERALLY means the ball will rev up EARLIER BUT ALSO LESS. (lower RG)
pin up revs up much later but more.
pin up revs up more because the ball actually ends up flaring more albeit *later on, usually in the backend*
obviously if theres a lot of oil you dont want quicker revs AFTER the oil. you want it to rev up earlier IN the oil even if it revs a bit less. make sense?

------------------------------------------------------------
dual angle layouts:
first angle /MB = how quicky the ball loses rotation / goes into forward roll
pin to pap = flare potential / friction possible (a little different for asymms as charlest said)
second angle = WHEN the ball revs up AND how quickly
the way mo puts it is that each angle effects the other in total ball reaction.
so if you had a large first angle in relation to the second angle = skid flip
if you had a small first angle in relation to the second angle = sooner / heavier roll
MO also simplifies it SOOOO much at the end:
Smaller angle sums should always be used for:
Speed dominant players
Higher axis tilt players
Longer oil patterns
Higher volumes of oil on the lane
Larger angle sums should always be used for:
Rev dominant players
Lower axis tilt players
Shorter oil patterns
Lower volumes of oil on the lane
Medium angle sums should always be used for players whose ball speed and rev rate match.
Keep this in mind -- the sum of the drilling angle and the angle to the VAL determines how quickly the ball transitions from skid to hook to roll. Using a smaller sum of the two angles will turn translational energy into rotational energy faster. And the shape of the breakpoint can be controlled by changing the relationship between the drilling angle and the angle to the VAL.
Larger drilling angles in relation to the angle to the VAL will create later, sharper breakpoints (more backend).
Smaller drilling angles in relation to the angle to the VAL will create a sooner, heavier roll (more midlane).
SOOOOOO what would you do if you wanted help on heavy oil?

a sum of BOTH angles that is small.
it doesnt say anything about pin up or down. (its more complex then simply pin up or down)
--------------------
IF its a symmetrical ball:
val angle (second angle) still exists and will determine if the ball transitions fast when it reads friction or slow.
pin up raises RG
pin down lowers RG

just say to yourself "what would BallBaggins do?"
