dont know too much about the ball, but the specs would be a perfect canidate for PIN on PAP with CG on center of grip, especially if you're a higher rev player.

it should be smooth as butter.

or even rico it, the weight hole would be centered on the CG.

rico sounds good...45 degree drill, pin on center grip? weight hole 6 3/4" in a straight line from pin right?

thanks for the help

when i spoke to Ric about that, he told me (regarding zone classic) that it should be the same distance down from the pin on the 45° line as your PAP is over from your center of grip, i think that hole at 6 3/4" will be stronger than the 4 1/2" i am talking about, i think it will raise the bow tie higher as well, would need confirmation on that.
