Weightholes

My question is obviously about weightholes in bowling balls.  I know that if one is added to the bowling ball it is to bring it down to "legal weight" and by adding a weighthole will decrease the length and have the ball go into it's roll sooner and less backend reaction correct?  Also i would like to know what happens if you a) put the weight hole above the PAP, B) weighthole on the PAP, C) weighthole below the PAP, D) if you angle the weighthole upward or downward.  I believe as the weighthole goes below the PAP the earlier it starts to roll but does it lose backend reaction?  Also the higher the weighthole above the PAP the longer it goes down the lane before change in direction?  

Just a few questions I would like to have answered if you guys could.  Thanks in advance!
