Some thing that will set up sonner then my absolute witch is set up like 2L on brunswicks chart. Im gonna use nemesis box finish i dont want to use lay out 1L thats the only exception.

Just out of curiosity, why not 1L? Seems to me that 1L would give you the smoothness that you're looking for at the break, while remaining flare-safe. You could use surface preparation to control the reaction in the front part of the lane.

would that drilling work with Top Weight : 3 to 3.5 oz
( - Pin Position : 2-3 ? whats the diffrence between that drilling and E2 ???

It should work. The rule of thumb for flare safety, as I understand it, is to keep the pin on or above the line between the ring finger and your PAP. Unless you have a long span, your driller should be able to do this by moving the CG upward. Even with a long span, you could probably get away with using this layout without an XH by drilling the fingers deeper.
The 1L layout will result in more overall track flare than the 2E layout, with the pin-above drilling contributing more to initial length. From my experience with these layouts, 2E is better on tighter conditions where I need control, while 1L is better at opening up the lane from inside of the track.
IME with the layouts on the Brunswick drill sheet, top weight is pretty much irrelevant, because the CGs always end up close to the grip center.
On edit: I need to add the disclaimer that you'll want to consult with your ball driller before choosing a final layout; he knows your game *much* better than I do!

You won't be the only one. I have a Nemesis in the closet that I'll be drilling 1L, as soon as I get enough time to go out to the garage and put holes in it.

What are your spans, and what are your PAP coordinates?

Wow...with that span, and a 2" pin, it'll be *close.* If you have a good driller, he could probably pull it off, but just to be safe, you may want to ask if you can swap it out for a Nemesis with a longer pin.
You'll want to confirm your PAP before drilling, of course, but it seems to me that if you're a high-tracker, your horizontal is probably at least 4 1/2" over, which means you *should* be able to go with 1L without worrying about the ring finger getting too close to the pin.
Do you know for sure that the pin is at 2"?

Any span that's longer than mine is a long span.
A 3" pin would certainly be better; IMO a 3-4" pin would have been *much* better for that layout. Maybe you'll get *really* lucky, and get a 3-4" in a 2-3" box.
Let us know what you get when it arrives, and we'll go from there.
