Hi i have an opportunity to pick up a crunchtime for a really good price. It has a 2.5" pin. What drilling options do i have? and what reactions would i get? would it go long/short, snap or arc on the backend, etc etc. I need a ball that will get me through the heads cleanly without picking up the lane too early. I was just wondering if a ball with a 2.5" pin would give me that option.

Dabalos, the pin distance on this ball is very good. With that pin you have many drilling options. If you want the ball to go longer and snap on the end a bit, put the pin above your ring finger and keep the cg in the palm. Keep in mind, the CT is a strong ball. I have mine drilled with the pin right of ring and the cg kicked out a 1/2" from grip center and this ball picks up in the midlane a bit. Probably too early for what you want it for. Mine also makes a hard charge at the pins too.
Like I said, for more length, put the pin above your ring finger, maybe even above and between ring and middle. Keep the cg in the palm to get the backend. That should do the trick.

hey rock, with a 2.5 " pin would i be able to put the pin above my finger? how long is the pin on your ball?

Hey Dabalos,
A 2.5-3 pin is pretty much the standard I use for most of my customers. The reaction you can get will vary quite a bit from how you lay it out. More important question is what you "want" the ball to look like (more/less) than your current ball and I can help recommend something from that point.
