A 3.5 in” pin is NOT maximum flip. It’s quite the opposite. 3.5 is almost the strongest the ball can be, meaning it will be earlier and smoother, definitely not flippy
A 3 1/2” is undoubtedly one of the strongest flare positions, but where the preferred spin axis (PSA, also known as the mass bias) is placed ALSO affects ball reaction. In this case I put the mass bias on this asymmetrical ball in the thumb. When the migrating axis (starting from my positive axis point, or PAP) crosses the line running from the pin to the PSA, the ball starts to rev up. On this layout, the ball will rev up in the later midlane. Also the vertical axis line (VAL) angle is only 20 degrees. This will promote the sharpest breakpoint. And when you drill the PSA in the thumb, the performance differential increases substantially. This ball has a high undrilled radius of gyration (RG), and after drilling, it will be even higher. With my lower revs, softer speed, and high tilt, this ball will clear the heads, rev up late, and break sharply. I can further enhance the overall shape by smoothing the coverstock or even polishing it. The pin to PAP distance affects flare, but the MB to PAP distance affects how soon the ball rolls on the lane.
Love this ball. Even when I missed it outside the ball recovered well!!!!!

Try a 5” pin if you wanna see a ball actually flip
