Question
i am interested in a virtual gravity. i am a stoker and throw between 16 an 18 mph. could you please suggest a top weight, a pin length, and a layout.
                                      Thanks

Answer
I would go with a 4 inch pin if possible and 3 to 3 1/2 ounces of top weight.

I would place the pin near the ring finger and the cg 2 1/2 to 3 inches right of the center of your grip.  (if you are right handed)  Then place the extra hole to get the ball to legal specs.

At this point, you can adjust the surface for the condition you are on.  
This ball is strong and will give you a pronounced move at the breakpoint.

Good luck,
Chip
