Why don't you get with your pro shop guy and discuss it?  He has probably seen you bowl and should be able to give you suggestions especially if he drilled your Trains.

The shop has changed hands sence my trains were drilled and the new guy does not speak well of the old guy who was a close friend so I will be taking it to a new shop. Its just a good deal on the ball or I would not be giving him any $

Personally, if you were to drill it the same, I don't think you would see much difference on a THS. Now, if you were to put the pin higher and change the drill angles, there might be enough separation between them. What's the surface at on your favorite Train? Still OOB or did you change the cover?

Your Train is at 1000 grit? Holy moley... I can't even imagine how early it starts up. Freight Train would be longer and stronger at the breakpoint, so maybe polish up the FT to give it some separation?
