on a ball with an asymmetrical core, cg is out of line with line drawn from pin to mass bias.

It is considerably out-of-line, and drilling results may vary.
If you like to gamble, a pro CG is a nice try

Pro-CG only makes sense on an asymmetric ball.  The CG is considerably out of line with the pin-MB.  Pin lengths and top weights might be fine.  It could be a benefit or a hindrance, depending on how you want to lay out the ball and which way the CG is offset.  Offset to the left for a right-handed bowler means you can put the MB almost anywhere you want and you won't need a weight hole.  For a lefty, though, they're stuck with the MB pretty close to the thumb if not in the track.

Pro-pin balls are balls with long pin lengths, at least 5".  Could be 9-10" even.  Top weight might be goofy, too.

Both are a way for (mostly) Storm to recoup their losses by making some money off a 2nd quality ball.  They're not considered first quality, though the core and cover are the same as on first quality balls.  Could be a good deal, could be very hard to drill.

Pro CG and Pro pins are a fancy name for balls that are blems or seconds. Buy at your own risk.
