I'd just like to know if pin to CG distances play a large roll in Track's mass bias dominant balls.  On the drilling sheets, it speaks highly about placement of the mass bias (as oppose to CG) in order to determine reaction shape.

The guy is selling bowling balls with 4-5" pin distances.  Will drilling a ball with such a long pin distance have any negative effects on the reaction of the bowling ball?  Does it limit how the ball can be drilled?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Cg makes not difference as far as reaction of the ball goes. tenpinitis is correct, you just have to watch out for static weights.

Hey Icetink,

Cg's don't really matter as much on an average basis but as Aus states, it can limit your drilling options if the ball has high top as well.  The more crucial part of this is where the cg is relative to the line drawn between the pin and mb.  Some balls can be more lefty or righty friendly for layout and drilling.  (IE. If you want to place mb near val, cg's left of the line are easier to drill and if the mb is placed left of thumb, then the cg is more driller friendly to the right of the line)  Hope this helps...
