If the ball is in legal specifications, it might not need a weight hole.  If it does, the pap needs to be found.

Hope that helps...

Of the 3 balls you listed, the Total Inferno is possibly the strongest and will handle the most oil of them. I say, "possibly" because it has not yet been released and few tests or reviews have been done on the balls.

Weight holes are traditionally determined by drawing a line from the center of the grip through wherever the driller has positioned the CG, for a distance either equal to your PAP's distance or 6 3/4", depending on the flare you desire/need from the ball. Surface will have a larger influence than the flare added by special positioning or angling of the weight hole.

Your driller should know. AS to where you can place it, it depends more on where the CG position allows you to place it AFTER you drill the ball.

Usually, beyond the PAP or well below the PAP, 6 3/4" from grip center will maximize the flare.

BUT one point you're missing is whether you should or not maximize the flare. Again, you should speak to your driller.

I have been throwing the Total Inferno for 2 weeks now.  This ball handles a great deal of oil but I would not call it a heavy oil ball.  It is definatly stronger than the Radical.  I have mine drilled Pin over CG kicked right about 3/4".  I play deep inside on a THS from 20 to 12 and it hits like a beast.

As usual,charlest has given great advice. Talk to your driller and let him suggest a ball based upon your stats,oil condition you wish to use it on,lanes you're normally bowling on,etc,etc.
 Also,it would help the experts here if you posted a profile with these stats........

from what I have seen the Double Agent will handle the most oil out of all of them, with the Total being next in line.  as far as where to put the X-hole, charlest nailed it.

I have to agree with imjouster on this.  The Double Agent seems to handle alot of oil
