Pin down layouts are not necessarily earlier, but they do produce a longer transition which results in more of an arcing motion than a snapping motion. They are smoother, and often easier to control. You might also consider a neutral pin position, 4X4X2 using the Storm VLS, which are the most controllable, producing an axis migration path that goes across the ball rather than up or down. If you track the ball near the thumb and fingers, stay away from pin down layouts, but if you track away from the thumb and fingers, either a pin down or neutral pin position should work fine for you. The idea is that it will give you a different look, for when your pin up balls aren't working.
