Bowling/Mass Bias Placement

Question
What would be the typical ball reaction that I would see if I placed the mass bias of a asymmetrical ball in the following area:

Left from thumbhole?
Under the thumbhole?
1" or less right from thumbhole?
2" or more right from thumbhole?

I have a 5 1/2" PAP with average ball speed and revs. Thanks. Most of the time I place my pin either right or directly above my ring finger. Thanks!

Answer
There really is not a typical reaction to anything with so many types of bowlers out there. You need to describe yourself,style,where you play on the lanes,cranker?stroker?tweener? & the type of game with the ball with pin above fingers.
 You also need to let me know what balls your looking at.Each manufacturer has their own rating system.There is no universal ratings on the balls.
 I have tried most drill patterns in many ball with different reactions from the ones listed.
 I DO NOT LIKE TO GIVE GENERAL INFO.SINCE I KNOW I GET VERY DIFFERENT REACTIONS THAN DESCRIBED TO A DRILL PATTERN.YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE IN DETAIL YOUR STYLE & WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR IN CERTAIN BALLS. THEN I CAN GIVE A LOT BETTER ANSWER.
