If there's a relative distance between the 2 pin placements it could depending on the shape of the core...but for the most part yes to your statement

My Wrecker is 45*5*70 with a p2 hole.

It's is an excellent ball with this layout.  It will still go plenty long enough and flip on the back end.  It is very usuable across multiple conditions with the box or 4000 abralon surface.

For reference my specs are 400 rpm, axis point is 5-3/4 with 3/16 down, around 13 degrees tilt.

"Pin down" means nothing. People assume that to equate to a higher Val angle. It's the angle that matters not whether it's down or up

VAL angle is just a way to measure and communicate the layout on the ball.  In reality it does matter whether it is pin up or pin down. Or more specifically, where the finger holes and thumb hole remove mass from the core.  That is what changes the ball reaction for a given pin to PAP and ball surface.  Give me two balls with a 5 inch pin to PAP, one with the pin at the center grip and one with the center grip 6 3/4 from the pin.  I will guarantee that the reaction to friction will be nothing alike.

My point was that depending on pap, a high Val angle can still be above fingers and react just a smooth as a guy who had the same Val angle and it ends up below the fingers.

Yes it could. But I don't think the reason is because they both use a high degree VAL angle. They could both use a high VAL angle and the guy with the lower pin could also be a lot more snappy.  Once you start changing PAPs, releases, speed, etc , between bowlers anything can happen..

I think the OP already purchased the wrecker and wants to know how to get it as smooth as possible.  I think you could put the pin at center grip or go 1 1/2 to 3 inches pin to pap.  And then alter the surface to tune the reaction to friction.  I think that will be your best bet to smooth out the reaction on the Wrecker.  If you go pin at center grip you may have to put a weight hole to bring it legal and depending where you put it, it could create more flare and asymmetry and make the ball flippy.  You could put the weight hole less than 3 3/8 from the pin to help with this.  Only issue there is that it could reduce the flare so much that you get very little flare or rings that are very close together and create a very weak ball.  You would have to throw it and see how it reacts and then decide where to put the weight hole based on what flare and reaction you get.

What is your PAP?  This could be a factor when putting the pin at center grip.

just like people saying "rico" enough already. rico is not a layout.

if i have 4 people come in, drilling the same ball, the same DAL being used, guess what, it might "pin up or down" however, its the same damn drilling.

one of the worst things to happen in this industry is online nonsense, and social media which made every person an "expert" in assumptions, not reality.

Rico, is that you?

I'm also interested in the 'personal' attack on a name...no one but you brought it up to attack....interesting rant eh?
