I found some info on it from bowlingball.com
Pro CG - http://www.bowlingball.com/info/Pro_CG_explanation.html
Pro Pin - Since the breakthrough of fine tuning reaction characteristics by use of the mass bias (MB) placements in the 1990's, large pin out balls have been a staple for many Pro Staffers on the professional tours. Big pin outs occur when the weight block tips to one side of the ball. The further the weight block is tipped, the more the mass is biased to that side of the ball pulling the Center of Gravity (CG) away from the pin. Advantages of these balls are:
* Enhanced Dynamics
* Stronger Preferred Spin Axis (PSA)
* More Drilling Versatility
* Superior Reaction Characteristics
* Enables Drillers To Use A Larger Extra Hole Increasing Flare Potential and Ball Reaction
STORM's "PRO PIN" technology is taking layouts and ball reaction to the extreme. Once only used on the Professional Tour for condition specific drilling's, these balls are now being made available in limited quantities to the general bowling public.
Why? As the requests, requirements, and styles of today's bowler changes to address new lane conditions and patterns, STORM is answering by providing and packaging these items separately from the standard first run items due to their unique nature and value.
STORM "PRO PIN" bowling balls are:
1. All first quality STORM bowling balls
2. Manufactured with the same high quality standards as all other STORM products
3. Manufactured with the highest integrity
4. Made with the same high quality materials as all other STORM products
5. Great for specialized layouts and drilling options
6. Potential for enhancing dynamic use of core position
7. Meet all A.B.C., U.S.B.C. and P.B.A. regulations
STORM "PRO PIN" bowling balls are first quality bowling balls with pin distances over 5" from the center of gravity and top weight between 2 and 4 ounces. Through our testing, we have found that these balls lend themselves to a variety of drilling patterns outside the range of pins less than 5" which would require an extra hole to accomplish with standard pin and top weight specifications. Based on the desired reaction, some Pro Pin drilling's may require an extra hole for balance requirements.

As far as anyone can tell, they are marketing terms for the same thing. Usually biiiiigggg pin out balls with low TW.
