I traded for this ball, and just moved the thumb to change the span. It is drilled with the ring finger drilled IN the pin with the CG kicked a bit to the right. There is a small weighthole in line with the CG. I really have no idea what this drilling promotes, and I wonder what kind of reaction it should give me.

For 90% of the people, that's a strong drilling - medium length (for a resin pearl), maximum hook.
Its actual ball reaction will have a lot to do with your release, ball speed and the lane surface + oil pattern. Without that, this ball could hook at your feet or skid 65 feet.

Bowling: Just like hand grenades and horse shoes, you only have to get close.
Life: Deal with what is.

Typically for me.
This reaction promotes a pretty good backend and a goodly amount of midlane.
Fairly rounded as far as reactions go depending on the reaction characteristic of the core.
U turn pearl is sort of flippy. So the kick out starts the midlane earlier and thus smooths out the backend a little from a stacked drilling on the Uturn.
I use this drilling on an Icon and it is very rounded but that is a more round core motion anyway.
All of this is if you believe that on a symmetric ball...cg..do matter or core orientation means something.
Otherwise it will hook like other balls where pin is in ring finger.
