I am new to all this was just wondering if someone could explain or link some info for someone like me to help learn/understand layouts. I am just trying to educate myself to better communicate with my driller. Thank You

If you really want to learn some of it go over to bowlingchat.net

You can look at the layout part of the wiki here
http://wiki.bowlingchat.net/wiki/index.php?title=Proshop_Information#Layouts (http://wiki.bowlingchat.net/wiki/index.php?title=Proshop_Information#Layouts)
You can start with this the dual angle layout guide

Or They started a thing called the bowlingingchat University and you can learn most of it it's free just signup.

The first part is Balls and Layouts
After completing this course, students will have an understanding of the basics behind bowling ball layouts.
Some basic info:
Dual Angle Info:
The Dual Angle Layout Technique is made up of three measurements:
1. The Drilling Angle: Which affects the length of the skid phase of the ball.
Higher angles = A Longer Skid phase.
Lower angles = The quicker the transition into the hook phase.
2. The Pin to Positive Axis Point (Pin-to-PAP) distance:
The Pin to PAP distance affects the amount of the flare.
3. The Vertical Axis Line (VAL) angle: Controls how long the ball remains in the hook phase.
Smaller Angles to the VAL lowers the RG, and increases the total differential of the ball. This results in the ball reving up faster and transitioning faster from the hook into the roll phase of the ball.
Larger Angles to the VAL raises the RG, and decreases the total differential of the ball. This results in the ball reving up slower and transitioning slower from the hook into the roll phase of the ball.

Thank you this is what I am looking for!
