the pin buffer is …
the pin buffer is the distance between the pin and the cg which in this case is 2″

Hi, I don’t fully …
Hi, I don’t fully understand the term “pin buffer” what is the difference between 2″ and 4.5″ pin buffer in each ball??? could you explain me please?

virtual energy …
virtual energy would be much stronger in backend reaction compared to the 2nd dimension…the energy is more of a skid/flip reaction compared to the 2nd

Thanks Nellil, that …
Thanks Nellil, that makes sense, my brother told me so too, but… at naked eye I don’t think the 2″ and 4.5″ pin buffer in this video are correct… but it’s just a comment…=)

Ok, but looks weird… in this video both balls have pin-cg look alike distances… even so in the 5″x3″x4.5″ ball… comparatively the grip span could be 6″ easily, thanks!

For the pin buffer …
For the pin buffer to pap, Shorter distances closer to 0 will cause the weightblock to orientate itself in a stronger position sooner. Normally, these layouts Rev fast and have a smoother midlane and backend transition. Distances closer to 6 ½ will cause the weightblock to lag or resist movement. These layouts typically weaken the over-all ball reaction, but give more length with a defined angular backend movement. Hope this helps

It works in …
It works in conjunctiion with the distance from the pin to pap and mass bias to pap for which both 3 and 3/8ths is the theoretical maximum and will generate the max amount of flare. For the pin to pap distances greater than 3 3/8 but less than 6 ½ will generate less flare, more length, and usually a more defined skid/snap type of reaction. Distances less than 3 3/8 but greater than 0 will generate less flare, an early read, and more of an arcing motion.

Shorter distances …
Shorter distances orientate the angle of the weightblock in a skid/flip type of layout. More length, less hook, but a more defined backend movement if/when the ball does move. Longer distances orientate the weightblock in a smoother early rolling position. Normally, the ball will hook more over-all, but it may not achieve as great of an entry angle.
