Matched speed to revs low tilt high rotation. You are in a category we call PDW tertitory.
Sweetspot 100* totals, 1.5:1 Ratio

Asymmetrical Layouts
Totally Strong ...................... 55-4.5-25
Midlane ............................... 40-4-40
Benchmark .......................... 60-3.5-40
Long and Strong ................... 80-3.5-40
Control ................................ 60-3-60
low flare .............................. 80-2-40

Symmetrical Layouts
Benchmark ......................... xx-4-35
Control ............................... xx-4 3/4-55 Adjust to pin in the ring finger
low flare ............................. xx-5 1/2-35

Asymmetrical Sport layouts
Long Oil ............................ Midlane
Med Oil ............................. 55-4.75-55 Adjust to pin in the ring finger
Short Oil ........................... 80-2-40
I wanted to recommend a pin down drilling for Short oil BUT with your low tilt it will run risk of flaring over the finger holes. I suggested the low flare layouts for the Shorter patterns.

Dull surfaces are recommended for the Sport patterns

The Basic arsenal is usually enough layouts to start with. There are layouts here for most all conditions.
For Sport layouts I would want to know what ball and for what pattern for custom layouts.

What balls are you thinking about having drilled up?

I don't sell bowling balls and I shop by color.
There are just too many good choices/brands available.

Too often I give recommendations for a specific ball and then they come back and tell me they got a different ball and I have to reevaluate. Just trying to save time and effort.

I encourage you to research and pick out a set you want to get and we can discuss what you have chosen before you purchase. Then we will put layouts to them.
