Its a particle, so it wont snap like a pearl. I would put the pin below the ring finger to get an early read.

Depends on your friend's PAP... basically, I'd put the pin high and have the CG stacked, pin about 4 1/2" from PAP. Polish might be worth a try, but it reduces hooking action in the oil.

The Trifecta is NO snap ball by design, it is a solid particle ball. So the best you might get is a late and sharp/curving move on the backend, but I guess the ball will rather arc, anyway.

Personally, I'd rather suggest a rolling drilling for it - do not try to make a ball what it is not designed to be. Snap and heavy oil are things taht rarely go together well.
