Pin Length? Top Weight? ?????

"Too Short or Too Long distances can limit layout options"

Like JA said "you Can't get any shorter than 0"" that would be "Too Short" which would mean you would have fewer options, not have more options.

And 5-6" is what they call a pro-pin ball and they have limited drill options also. Because it's too long.

Now it's not that you can't use them, just that there are not as many options on how you lay them out.


As JA said 2"-4" pins are a more standard range and would give you the most options.

Is there any benefit to getting a ball that has a 1" or 5-6" pin length depending on the bowlers style, that sort of makes up for the lack of drilling options?

Is there any benefit? It would depend on the bowlers style and the type of layout they wanted/needed to use.

You would need to discuss it with someone with a more in depth knowledge of layouts than me.
