I just won a Backyard Bully in a raffle at a bowling tournament.
I have a med-low track...throw 17-18mph with high rp
I currently have two bowling balls
I have a Track Crunch Time with pin on top between fingers. The CG is kicked to the right a little. (Tame reaction)
I also have a Morich Weapon of Mass Bias with the pin on top of my middle finger.  The CG is kicked to the right.  The MB is around 5 o’clock. (Hook monster)

Both balls go too long at times, when there is oil (I know slow down the speed) and I would like a ball that can go shorter.

I am a little unfamiliar with ball and I would like some info on some possible drillings where I can maintain the same ball speed and the ball will hook sooner.  I want to have some variety in my arsenal.

By the way, the Back Yard Bully is 15 pound 3oz top, 4in pin.

Thanks in advance

any advice on pin placement etc

Maybe you can get your proshop guy to trade you for a Big Bully instead, that will hook sooner.

Drilling wise you could go with a leverage drilling 3 3/8 and put the cg on your axis that will make the ball roll early and set on the back end instead of snap. I figure if you have high speed and low axis rotation this drilling might work for you. You may not be able to do it if there is too much top weight.

.=PIN 3 3/8 FROM PAP
CG = CENTER OF GRAVITY POINTED AT PAP
