Constructive commentary please...

Current stats. LH, 275 revs, PAP 4-3/4 by 3/4 up, axis rotation > 45 usually.

In the search for new ideas last year, I allowed a driller (now retired) to put a "trick layout" on an old Gamebreaker once he watched me bowl. It was interesting, but nothing special at the time. I put the ball away. According to dual angle, which I've checked now 4 times it's 130 x 2 x 40. Of course, you have to estimate the 130 since it's off the scale. Basically, it's pin down near PAP (pretty much halfway between PAP and ring, with CG in grip center.

 I'm not "struggling" per se this year, but not getting the reaction I want, so I pulled out the old Gamebreaker to use in practice at another house.

300 second game. Most reaction I've had in many years. Great practice session, pretty much free hook, but very definitely drier than normal shot at my new house. Ok, I'm intrigued.

New house... (I thought) on the wetter side of THS. Took my Torrid Affair at 1000 wet sanded, layout 55x3-3/4x40, which is basically pin 45 degrees up and left of ring finger with Cg swung very slightly out. Weak reaction. Left 7 pins all night no matter what adjustment I made. Mastermind Genius, similar layout and prep at 1500, not much difference. Next was Raptor P7, thumb down, MB stacked with 500 base and a light 2000 over that. Reacted in practice but not much during the night and I'm the only lefty on the pair. 9th frame of game 2, no confidence, still searching, I pulled out the GB sanded at 1000. Wow, who was that masked man?  Not that I had the whole house to hook, I was playing the track, but I had definite movement at the back end, great reaction, all misses were strictly operator error.  Could have EASILY been 300 last game if I had trusted what I had and could have pulled my head out of my anatomy.

Have run comparisons now on weeks 2 and 3. Same issues, even with surface adjustments on the other 3 balls. Weak reaction no matter what I try, but the GB is still great.

My initial thoughts?
- House is lighter oil than I had anticipated
- Raptor too strong even pin down
- Ditto MasterMind Genius, even with 2000 and/or light polish (tried both)
- Torrid same issue, although it's not that strong a ball. I've tried the Torrid at 2000 in a subsequent weekly comparison and it's an arrow.
- This layout seems to focus everything down lane, seems best on drier conditions. I also think I've misread the oil volume at the new house.

Anyone else try this layout before? Am I analyzing the condition correctly?

Thanks in advance.
