Pro Cg is a long pin that can limit drilling options.I'd talk to your driller if you have one and see what options he suggests.

Pro PIN is where the pin is more than 4 1/2" from the CG...
Pro CG is where the pin is more than 1" from the pin to MB line...

Not all Pro CG balls will be Pro Pin balls...

You are both wrong.
This is the exact explanation of it from the Roto Grip website:
A Pro-CG is where the CG ends up extremely far left or right of the Pin and MB. If you draw a line from the PIN through the CG and then draw a perpendicular line at the half way point of that line. Go out 2 1/2” and then connect the points to create a diamond shape. If the CG is outside that diamond then it is a PRO-CG. This is a first quality ball and lends itself to several special drill options. Please see the enclosed drilling instructions.

I have a Pro CG Cell. It is a fraction of an inch from being both pro CG and pin which would make it an X-blem. I love the reaction if you want to pm me your email I can send you a picture of my Cell drilling.

Actually, you have one that is easier to lay out for a righty. You have what would be one where the CG is considered to the left.

Line up the Pin and MB and you will be able to determine if the CG is out of line to the right or left. If it is out of line to the right, it is usually easier to lay out the MB for a lefty and vice-versa for a righty.

I had an Attitude Shift with the CG slightly out of line to the left and I was able to lay it out with the MB at 30* without a weight hole. Talk about a hard charge and then forward roll into the pins!!

Guys,

PRO - PIN = pins that are 5 - 6 1/2" out from the CG.  

PRO - CG = where the pin, cg, & mb do not line up.  We utilize a template and it has since changed, so the website information does not match up 100%.  If the CG is to the right of the pin and mb (making it a LH ball) the CG can be as much as 1 3/4" out.  If the CG is to the left of of the pin and mb (making it a RH ball) the CG can be as much as 2 3/4" out.  It also depends on the pin out from the CG.  

Like I said we have a template that we use.  

Hope that helps.  

Sawdust - why don't you email me a picture.  If you don't have a camera you can send it to my cell phone:  435-740-9954.  I'd be happy to help see if we can lay the ball out to work for you.  If not I'll swap it for you.

Thanks,
