Exotic layouts
« on: June 25, 2012, 02:52:28 PM »
Looking for some advice from you guys:

I have a customer that wants to try some exotic layouts.
His ball speed is around 16mph
Pap 5 right x 0 up/down
-he has a ton of side roll and struggles alot on sport due to not be able to control the backends.

The layouts I know personally and am familiar with are the following:
Rico
Boomer layout
Jason couch, tommy jones trick layout

Looking for any other layouts that will help get the ball down the lane and not super flip in the backend.

I wrote that bowling chat wiki article. Nice to see it still out there and getting put to use.  That 250 degree layout on a low rg ball around 4000 will really smooth out the back end.

I realize there are always exceptions to the rule but most players would benefit more by using stable drilling patterns and tweak the surface of the ball to suit the lane condition.

You have not mentioned the balls that he wants to drill.  Ball selection and ball surface are the first steps before you decide on a layout.
