Just as the title states....how should I lay this puppy out? Going to use it for burnt lanes.

Use any of your favorite layouts. It is plastic.
…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

Someone probably has the old Ebonite sheets for their earlier assymetric stuff. I used to but don't know where I put mine :-\.

No matter how you drill it, you're  still going to have a plastic ball with a bit more flare potential. You're  better off doing something simple as far as the layout goes so it doesn't hook just enough to chop 2 pin combinations and hook off of the corner pins. When they are dry enough to use plastic, you won't notice much difference in a simple layout and something that will make it flare an inch or two more.

I would not drill it, probably just hold on to it. Such a cool old ball. Mine cracked and I remeber others doing the same. The clear werewolf was even worse. Then I would get a track spare+ or the hammer if I needed asymmetrical plastic!

Forgot to mention it's already a single drill

i had one many years ago....  when they first came out and bought it to use for spares...  well the house i bowled in at the time had wood lanes and a pretty dry shot...  so it got used at a strike ball...  and it was just drilled up like normal plastic ball...i believe the " paw " was in the middle of my palm...
