I got a used Motiv Cruel from someone who didn't like it. If I was to plug and re-drill the thumb the layout will be 65 x 3 3/4 x 60 P2 hole. If I was to plug fingers and thumb I'm thinking I would give it my benchmark layout 65 x 3 1/4 x 40 P2 or my control layout 75 x 3 1/4 x 50 P2. Im am even thinking of long and strong 90 x 3 1/4 x 35 P2. I’m hoping to get opinions from Mo, JustinWi, or anyone else who has experience with this ball. I am open to suggestions
my stats:
RH
350 rpm
18 mph
45* rotation
10* tilt
pap 5 1/2 over 1 up

I spent the last week in Alabama dodging Tornadoes, sorry for the delay.
60x30@3" has been extremely successful on the Cruel, as well as 70x50@5.5". Former for smoother reaction, latter for more tip on the back.

I have a question about the 70x50@5.5 layout. I don't understand the 5.5 pin to pap. with my release stats being what they are would that pin position get my ball rolling forward too early? I thought longer pin distances on asymmetrical cores are for higher tilt players. is there something I am missing? others are welcomed to chime in too if they want

Just from personal experience, I prefer going with shorter pin distances on 'big dog' equipment like the cruel. 2.5-3.5 inch Pin to Pap, with 1.75-2:1 ratios. Of course each person is as different as the houses we bowl in.

If you dont know what you want out of it, use your asymmetric benchmark and tune it with a gradient line balance hole and surface..

350/18 is a bit speed dominant, quick tilt burn might get the 10pin out and transition itself a bit better on oil than something that retains longer and hits in the roll stage.
Those 2 layouts mentioned have had the most success over time, pick which one you feel more comfortable with and punch some holes.

JustinWi wrote: 350/18 is a bit speed dominant according to the Dual Angle Sweetspot Guide pdf in the wiki 350/18 would be a bit rev dominant. There is a also the Dual Angle Sweetspot summary in the wiki and according to that 350/18 is balanced. I layout my equipment based on an angle sum of 110 and adjust from there. I am curious as to why we come up with something different. is there new info on the relationship between speed and revolutions. If there a different method I should be using I would like to know.
others may comment too if they want

Memory is saying 17/350 at the hand as balanced, I'll have to double check on that one.

350/18 is matched.
