What effects do pin position and top weight have on the dynamics of the ball.

What would the difference in ball dynamics be between a pin position of 2-3" vs. 3-4"?

How about a top weight of 2-3 oz. vs. 3-4 oz.?

I assume the higher the pin position/top weight would allow for a greater hook/more aggressive layout. Just trying to understand how those differences would effect the performance of a bowling ball.

Basically with todays equipment longer pins allow you to put a balance hole in a stronger position (p3-p4) to increase the core dynamics. Unless you have huge hole sizes higher top weights can limit ypur layout options and weight hole placement due to static weight requirements
