I'm not going to be able to get it drilled until Thursday, so if anyone here has some suggestions on how to drill the ball let me know. I usually like the pin just below my ring finger (righty), but I'm thinking that won't be possible with this ball...

You're probably assuming that the Pin/cg/MB are in a straight line. It's easy to get a 5.5" pin out and a 2" cg to MB length if the cg is off the Pin/MB line by 1 1/2".

I'm failing to see how you need to get creative.
Pretty much anywhere on the ball with the CG will be legal, and under 1 ounce net weight after drilling.
You're guaranteed net bottom weight, thats the certainty.
No worries here.

Cool. So, one last thing I'll ask...
This could be a harsh subject, but if CG doesn't matter, then why does pin distance really matter? Or does CG only not matter when talking about rotating left to right away from the hand? Or did my head just explode trying to think about this? Yeah, its C, definitely C...

Having certain pin lengths can make it easier to use certain layouts without needing to "get creative". If you want the pin above the fingers but only have a 1" pin, you can do it, but you'll have to drill the fingers deeper and maybe you don't want to do that. Maybe you don't want to have to use a weight hole, you want to see how you like the reaction before you add a hole, but the layout you've chosen with some pin length dictates that you'll need one. It's about the option to not use a weight hole or to place it where you like instead of placing it where the CG tells you to.

I dont know why people wig out over low top, its actually a blessing unless you're looking for a certain size x-hole to drill.

No, what I was assuming was the "it" in second sentence was the was the same "it" in first sentence - which was the "pin"

It is a wicked reaction. I'm really liking the ball, it is extremely angular, which is what I was looking for.
The only thing that wasn't as good as advertised was the slogan, "It will Shock and Awe your opponents". My girlfriend kept looking at me like I was crazy when I constantly asked her if it shocked and awed her. Oh well...

Yeah, I was bowling against her. She was going after me, so when she was walking up to the ball return I'd ask her. She bowled a 186 once and beat me so she never lets me hear the end of it. This is just all part of the payback...
