Here's a nice little site to check out:
www.rollrite.co.uk
Don't be afraid to ask the guys on this site questions either.
That "is" why we all go to this site.

In the big picture sense, it's just a matter of understanding what gravity does to controlling weights in an object and everything is tied in mathematically. Quick example:
Ball circumference = 27 inches..then half of that =
Half of ball = 13 1/2 inches...then half of that =
Quarter of ball = 6 3/4 (generic mass bias distance)...then half of that =
Leverage point 3 3/8
A weightblock will always want to pull towards gravity and that motion is known as its PSA (preferred spin axis) or as I refer to it, it's resting point. The closer we place a weightblock to this position, the faster it will rotate there. The farther away we place it, the longer it will take to rotate there. So a pin distance below 3 3/8 will turn down faster (roll sooner) vs a pin distance placed above 3 3/8 (roll later).
Mass Bias is the heaviest or densest part of the weightblock that is closest to the surface of the ball. It's another controlling weight (if >=.008) that affects reaction. This helps control reaction shape or breakpoint, still working around our magic number of 3 3/8.
Here's a link to some info put together from some of the "inmates" here (as Charlest's puts it
). Hope this helps some...http://home.mchsi.com/~s-cross-7-28-71/FAQ.htm

But on the serious side (that statement is true though) I would try to go to a distributor through your local pro shop and attend a seminar for drilling, etc. They are usually offered every so often. Also, if you could go to the annual trade shows the distributors hold, there is usually a wealth of knowledge to be found. You can get up and close with the main people from each and every company and can pick their brain for a few minutes here and there. Most usually will take the time to answer any questions you may have!
