I highly recommend you go to a driller who measures the distances!!!!! Everyone will agree on this. With the pin 3 inches above you midline, it will end up above you fingers, unless you have a large span. You shouldn't worry as much to where the pin is in relation to your fingers, but worry about how far it is away for your axis point and how high it is above your midline. With the drilling I suggested, it will probably end up being above your bridge or possibly closer to the top of your middle finger. Don't be alarmed by this as I told you before, it is all about the distances, not where or how it looks. The MB placement should be anywhere between 4 1/2" to 5 1/2". The only thing you need to know about this distance is that the closer it is to your axis point, the earlier and more arcy the ball will be, and the further away it is, the longer and sharper it will be. For what you are looking for, I would recommend 5", as it will be arcy, but not be too early. The key also is not only in the drilling but in the surface prep as well. This is my main focus on my equiptment. On your Ravage, I think 2000 wetsand/abralon pad will work quite nicely. It will be longer than the Absolute, but it will not be jerky on the backend.
