Is this a Pro CG or 1st Quality?

Got impatient and ordered a ball from the internet because the local distributor was out.  They sent this and say it is 1st quality, so they won't take it back.  I say it's a pro CG and limits my drilling option.  I can't do a 5X3 because of the Mass Bias placement.  I think this is one of the balls that were mislabled from the factory.  

What do you think?  Pro CG or 1st Quality?

Mine is similar with the CG about halfway between the pin and the rg, it's offline about 2-1/2".  Mine is setup 4-1/2 x 5"rg, with the cg being about 1" left of the center of grip.  The middle finger was drilled deeper, and there is a bit of negative side weight on the ball.  It doesn't seem to affect the roll though, still a very strong ball with a strong move and good continuation.

You have to remember that CG and side weight doesn't matter much on these strong MB balls.  You could probably get close to 5x3 and still stay legal.

That is a pro cg no doubt. It is not a very drastic one though. You should be able to go with your planned lay out. You should just be able to do it and not have to have a weight hole. That is a great set up. You could also do some fun things with a high pin placement. I have a pro CG that I did that with. It is the perfect ball on a house shot.
