I want a skid flip

I used to bowl competitively back in 2015 earlier and i had quite a few balls in my arsenal. I threw an Iq pearl for my versatility shot, the eagle for my stong heavy oil matte shot, and I had the roto grip bandit drilled to skid flip to react past oil if it was heavy and getting pushed in tournaments. I sold those and got out of the scene for quite a few years and im getting back in now and trying to rebuild my arsenal. I have the iq ruby for my versatile shot and my next ball i wanted the skid flip because oil is wild due to the increase in high rev high angle two handers. I looked at every new ball and there isnt any made with high rg high dif. I was looking into the virtual energy blackout and I was wondering what should i sak for or is it even possible to drill it a certain way to extend it downlane and make it more a skid flip style ball. It seems rather close and has a nice angular finish. I would love suggestions or what to say to my local pro shop to get this figured out. Thank you

Put the pin high up above the fingers so the fingers and thumb take weight out of the side of the core. 5 inch or more pin to pap. That will put the axis at the highest RG and promote a skid flip reaction. Of course a 4000 or higher surface helps as well.
