Since most people recommend a strong drilling for the Desert Heat, and since every ball will flare somewhat, I'd play it safe if I were you. Place the pin where you (or your driller) know it is safe for you. If you place the pin safely, your track won't hit your finger holes no matter how much or how little the ball flares.
I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to continue doing this (as you or your driller must be doing it right now), no matter what ball you were drilling. So the question is why are you asking this question?

Bowling: Just like hand grenades and horse shoes, you only have to get close.
Life: Deal with what is.
