I see that most of the balls discussed with this pattern there is a MB mentioned.

I know all balls have a MB, but it seems the ones that have been mentioned are Asymetric balls.

---

Actually since the popularity of asymmetrics is growing now, these recent mentions are the first I've seen of applying this drill to asymmetrics. For some of them this drill may not work; a lot depends on the ball, its core and how the balls flares.

Is it mandatory that a ball is Asymetric or can you use any Symetric ball?

---

No. You can use any ball appropriate to the combination of your release, ball speed, oil pattern, lane surface and ball design.

And is it my understanding that this pattern is great for midlane roll and strong backend reaction as well? (Depending on the surface of course)

Those charcateristics are not typical of that drill at all. The main purpose of the drill was a sense of control and not every ball will still have a strong backend; in fact, this drill, IN GENERAL, will not augment but decrease the backend on a ball BECAUSE its main purpose is to increase the midlane reaction. THAT is what gives any ball drilled this way ann enhanced sense of control.

I would not apply this drill to a ball that is already a control type of ball and probably not to any solid particle, UNLESS it had a strong flaring core and is highly polished.

It depends on much more than the surface: The combination of the core's characteristics, the cover's characteristics and the bowler's release should diagnosed before applying this drill to it.
