        I was throwing a Purple Pro Buzzsaw. The pin is above the ring finger and the cg is swung out towards my axis. The axis hole is 4 1/4 " from the center of grip it has a little surface on it, but not much.

        Walter Ray Williams Jr. used two different Black Hammer 2001 balls. Both balls were drilled the same but used with different surfaces. This layout is a 4 inch stack layout off Walter's axis, which is 6 inches. The pin is next to his ring finger and the cg is next to his thumb. No weight hole is needed because of a starting top weight of 1.70 before drilling.

        On the left lane the surface that was used was out of the box, and on the tighter right lane it was 220 sanded and clean and dulled.

        Ryan Shafer was using an El Nino X-It with a 5" pin from his PAP and mass bias in the strong position. Medium size extra hole 2" off his axis point on his axis midplane. Surface was Xtras #1 compound - 800 grit and this was the ball he used most of the week. He also used a Super Power with the exact same layout and surface when the heads broke down later in the day.

        The pin and cg are stacked under his ring (4 inches from his axis)the extra hole is on his axis taking the ball back to 1/4 negative side, this was for length with a strong even backend.
  
        He switched to an Avenger drilled like this;

        This one goes long and comes around hard on the back.
  
  Jeff Lizzi started with an Avenger like this;

        This has a negative cg, it also is for length with a strong controlled backend, he switched to a Solid Elite drilled the same way, it reacts a little smoother than the Avenger.
