Check with Roto Grip, at 12 lbs the core may be a simple pancake.  --  JohnP

wow never occurred to me but your right they do change the weight blocks with lesser pound balls....hmmm...keep the responses coming... so the cg and pin wont matter were they are located if it has a pancake core.

pin next to cg isn't a blem or a second. It's a first quality ball, with a short pin.  

Many lighter weights use a pancake weightblock instead of a real core.

I'm not sure if the Pluto does this or not, but the 12lb rendition does have an extremely high rg, and a very low differential
2.67  and .017   So even with a pin far from cg, it's not going to have much based on the core.  

What's the top weight? With a low top there's a good chance it's still simple enough to drill strong, it will just require alittle work.

i believe you are right about not being a blem just ignorance on my part and his not understanding things.. next questions are all pins like this at 12lbs going to get my girlfriend a new ball and was wondering will i come across same thing or can i ask for longer pin at 12lbs...i always get 15lbs for myself never gave much thought into the matter until now would like to know more about this.

you got a pin in ball and i just got an amf mega recovery pin in also off ebay.You are limited in the drillings but for what she needs it wont really matter much. My ball rolls and hits fine. The drill i used was pin up over ring and right a bit. I did have to have an odd weight hole right over the bridge, but its legal and a very solid performer.
