Question
I WAS CURIOUS WHAT DIFFERENCES IN BALL REACTION A "PRO PIN" BRINGS? IM A RIGHT HANDED 200ISH BOWLER,  BUT THE TRUTH BE TOLD I STILL DONT FULLY UNDERSTAND PIN PLACEMENT AND WHAT NOT. JUST CURIOUS OF HOW A PRO PIN BALL WOULD REACT DIFFERENTLY. THANX.

Answer
Pro pin balls are balls that will have 5-6 inch pin distances from the balls CG.  They allow a ball driller to use layouts that will keep the Pin above the fingers regardless of the CG placement.  Pins above the fingers tend to have more lenght than pins below the fingers.

Good luck,
