Nice work Steve! Have you been able to watch a full roller throw either one of these yet?

Thank you again for the recommendation and the positive feedback. Please note the differences when using the aggressive layout between symmetrical and asymmetrical bowling balls.

Hmmm, this makes me wonder. I've got a ball (LM Buzz) that I got in trade, and it appears to have a full roller layout. The pin is slightly (3/4") below and to the right of center grip, and has a weight hole that currently sits on my PAP (4.25 over by 1 up). I've had a bit more luck with that ball turning the corner for me than some other balls - and my current proshop guy just told me - "Full roller layout", but couldn't explain to me why it was turning the corner better for me than my regular layout balls.

Thanks for developing this drill. I also want to make a pitch for good bowlers to use this layout as an alternative to other early rolling drills even if they don't usually throw a full roller. I won a senior tournament today using a 16 lb Prodigy with the drill on last year's USBC pattern. Last week, I placed third in a senior tournament with the Cheetah pattern using the same ball. I haven't had much luck throwing up the boards since reactive balls came out but this really for me works with a suitcase type delivery. Thanks again.

Is the new aggressive full roller layout the same if using a ball with an inverted core? I was thinking on trying it on a Victory Road and it looks as though the bottom of weight block is heavier.
