I have a friend that eats up our house shot late in the block with a Desert Ops.
I found one and I’m looking to bounce layout ideas off you guys.
Specs:
Axis Tilt: 17*
Axis Rotation: 55*
RR: 360
Speed: 16
Couple of thoughts:
1) Drill it very low flare with higher sums, something like 75 x 1 3/4 x 40.
2). Drill it “normal” for me, so something like 60x4x35, and let the weakness of the core/cover combo get the ball up the lane for me.
My issues with the house shot is once I get to 20 with my eyes things start getting pretty over/under to me. So I figure I have a couple choices. Go more surface with a milder ball to blend the pattern or try to stay a touch further right with something weaker.
I really dont want a completely condition specific ball so I’m concerned about drilling it with the first layout.

Re: Desert Ops Layout
If you like staying a little right the 75x2 1/4x35 layout of the future would work with some more surface like Mo suggests

Weak cover, Weak core and a Weak layout is a recipe for disaster.fufu wrote:I have a friend that eats up our house shot late in the block with a Desert Ops.

Your hunch to drill it "normal" is a good one.

Why is Mo calling it the layout of the future?
I’d like to get my hands on the 10 new layouts Mo released.

Re: Desert Ops Layout
Something about using it on stronger balls with surface to lessen the angles but keep the strong hit at the pins.
