What is Pin Placement and Top Weight?
Pin Placement: The “Pin” is the small circle of a different color found on the surface of the ball. It locates the center of the weight block that identifies the direction it is tilted. Selecting a Pin of (0-2) also known as Pin-In will roll down the lane in a more predictable manner than a Pin of (2-4) also known as Pin-Out. However, selecting a Pin-Out will give the ball driller many options when drilling the ball including one that can be very predictable also. Top Weight: Top Weight is created by the height of the core inside the ball. The closer to the surface, the higher the Top Weight. Selecting Pin Placement/Top Weight If you are not sure which option to select, we suggest going with (Pin 0-3) & (Top 1-3). These two options will work with most types of drilling pattern. Note: If you have selected a specific Pin/Top and we are out of them at the moment, we will check with you first to see if you would consider an alternative or wait.
