I always start by figuring the Benchmark with a basic arsenal list.
You are slightly speed dominant with med/high tilt and rotation.
Totals 80* 1:1.5 Ratio
Asymmetrical Layouts ...
Totally Strong .............. 30-5-30
Midlane ...................... 20-4.5-40
Benchmark ................. 30-4.5-50
Long and Strong .......... 50-4-50
Control ....................... 30-4-70
low flare ..................... 50-2.25-50
Symmetrical Layouts ...
Long and Strong ........ xx-3-45
Control ...................... xx-3.75-65 (pin in the Ring finger)
For a house shot I would recommend the Long and Strong and Control layouts
I would go with the Control layout on the Kingpin 30-4-70
As for the Street Fight xx-3-45 for the long and Strong

Re: Layout recommendation request
Thanks Eric,
I appreciate you responding so quickly to my post.
Took your advise and had them both drilled up this morning.
I may get to try them out tomorrow, if not, Thursday for sure.
I'll let you know how it went.

Re: Layout recommendation request
I've enjoyed good success with the drillings you recommended.
I've thrown 10 games, the top two scores with the Street Fight are 286 & 240, the Kingpin 258 & 219 with an o/a average of 210.
I do have another question: I just bought the Radical Ludicrous (asym) and was wondering which drilling you recommend for that ball, the benchmark, low flare or other?
Thanks.

Re: Layout recommendation request
The low flare layout is risky for your release specifically your higher tilt and rotation. It would definitely be a condition specific ball, dryer lanes.purpledogcreek wrote:I've enjoyed good success with the drillings you recommended.

The Benchmark layout will be a strong angular backend reaction.
I would go with benchmark totals with a control ratio. 25-4-55 (pin in the ring finger)
