I've owned a couple of pro-pin balls in the past and had good luck with them, so when I had the opportunity to buy a NIB pro-pin Paradigm pretty cheap, I took it.

Here's what came today -- the pin, RAD and CG are all in a straight line, and they measure like this: The pin is 6.5 inches above the RAD, and 11.5 inches (!) above the CG. If you were to think about this as a clock face, the pin is 12 o'clock, the CG is at 6 o'clock, and the RAD is the axis around which the hands turn.

Here's another visual: Turn the ball 90 degrees and then look at it from the side; the pin is about 9:30 and the CG is about 2:30, with the RAD about 12:30.

My preferred drill, due to where I track, is to drill the pin straight over the bridge about 1-2 inches up, with the CG dead center in the palm on a straight line down from the pin. On most assyms, the MB ends up somewhere southeast of the thumb hole.

On this ball, if I drill the pin over the bridge 1-2 inches, the thumb is going to come in right above the RAD, and the CG is going the be about 5 inches below that.

What I want to do with this ball is to have it not roll early, but also not to be uncontrolable at the breakpoint. I don't even know where to start with this layout, and I'm not even sure I can make this ball legal.

Anyone have any ideas?
