Pro Pin: A long Pin to CG distance.
  Example: The GC is 6+" from the Pin.  Some are as bad as 9-10" apart.

Pro CG: The CG is way out of line from the Pin and Mass Bias


Pro-pin balls might have weird top weights, too.  A 9-10" pro-pin ball is more desirable than a 6" one, all you have to do is flip it upside down and that 9-10" pin becomes a 3-4" anti-pin.  Lay the ball out with the anti-pin and CG instead of the pin and CG.

Pro-CG balls might have normal pin lengths and top weights, just with the pin far off the pin-MB line.  Sometimes this is desirable: the CG kicked left for a right-handed bowler means you can put the MB anywhere you want and probably won't need a weight hole.  For a lefty, though, putting the MB any interesting distance from the thumb means a major weight hole.
