Question
i am interested in a storm virtual gravity. it will be 16 lbs. and i do not know what pin length and top weight to order.i throw around 16 to 18 mph and am told i am a full roller whatever that means. if this is enough info could you suggest a top weight and pin along with a layout.
                                                  thanks

Answer
I would request a ball with 3-4 ounces of top weight and a 3-4 inch pin.  
If you are a full roller, you will want to place the pin in a 7:30 position from your grip center.

That should give you a good reaction for your style of player.  If you need the ball to hook earlier, sand it.  If you need it to go longer, polish it.

I have found this ball to be useable on more conditions that I expected.  

You will love the hitting power.

Good luck,
Chip
