Hey everyone, I have a T-Road pearl which I really really like.  I have it drilled with the pin below my bridge and the c.g. is not swung out at all.  I like the ball so much that I am considering getting another one with a longer pin and putting it above my fingers.  While I love the reaction of my current T-Road pearl, I was hoping for a much more angular backend reaction.  The reaction I get out of my T-Road pearl is more a hard arc, just below that boomerang backend that I hear everyone say that this ball provides.  In theory, I know that putting the pin above the fingers would save more for the backend, but my question is to all the people who have 2 or more T-Road pearls and if they see any significant difference between the ones they have with a pin low layout and a pin high layout.  Thanks for any input that you can provide.

Wow, that is scary how close that is to what I am talking about.  Your pin under T-Road has the c.g. swung out a tad more than mine, but they are pretty close.  Your second one is pretty much exactly the way I was thinking about laying my second one out.  Might move the pin more toward being above my middle finger, but pretty close nonetheless.  Thanks for the reply, I think I am going to go ahead and do it because the center I bowl in on Tuesday nights has been giving me some trouble as of late.  Too much backend is never enough in that place.  Thanks again for the input.
