I have this layout(Girard) on a storm particle ball & get different reactions depending on oil pattern & coverstock prep. When polished on a fresh house shot, I experienced a hockeystick type reaction. I dulled the surface & played more up the boards & got closer to a controlled reaction & much more rolly.
On both, the backend reaction accelerates with heavy forward roll & goes through the pins in a unique way with excellent carry. I do like the ball, but haven't used it in a while because of pitch changes & haven't done that one yet. I think I'll fix it & try it again seeing that I've been struggling lately. I would say try it if you have a long pin ball available

Righty,

Where does the CG and MB go in that kind of layout?

My ball is symmetric, & I haven't read anything about how an asymmetrical ball would work. Maybe someone here has tried it.

What is the deciding factor on pin placement for this layout?

Please post when you drill one.

I just got an older V2 pearl punched this way last night.  I threw it last night, but was subbing in a league at a center I had only bowled at once before.  From the look last night, it was smooth on the back and fairly long.
