Is this a good drilling to get the maximum backend reaction for a person with a high track ? Thanks for positive input. Carlosx

No way to know. We can only guess. Depends on the bowler and the condition.

Throw it and tell us what happens.

I have thrown the ball and it does not have the strong movement that I desire. I was wondering If the layout was the problem. I have not seen many balls with this layout. It was suggested by the proshop operator. Maybe if I changed the surface I'll get a stronger reaction. Seems to me for my game a pin up drilling is suitable for me.

What ball is it?  It looks like a Hyper Cell.  If so it's a very strong ball.

From their website:

SUPERHEROES CAN HANDLE ANYTHING

Part of being a hero is having tough skin capable of standing up to everything in your way. My 80H™ MicroBite™ coverstock is the strongest Roto Grip has ever developed and gives me unimaginable power. Even the oiliest conditions aren’t a problem for me.

EVEN THE SLICKEST VILLAINS CAN’T STOP ME

My 2000-grit pad finish is one of the greatest weapons in my arsenal. Combine that with my Nucleus Core and 80H MicroBite coverstock and you’re dealing with heavy oil’s worst nightmare. So bring it on, heavy oil. You’re no match me.

Extremely strong balls are not made to "go long and flip" unless the pattern is 50 feet of juice followed by a squeaky clean back end.  Sure you can polish it to get more length and back end, but the ball is made to chew up oil.  Let the ball be what it was designed to be and use something more appropriate when you want length and pop on the back.  The reason it doesn't see the strong movement you want to see is that it probably isn't thrown on enough oil - it's probably burning up.

High track doesn't necessarily tell us anything, we'd need to know your PAP.  If you have an average PAP, that ball isn't far from leverage.  A length drilling (again for an average PAP) is usually more pin over the bridge.

with these strong balls out there on the market today, they start to hook as soon as it hits the lane. if you are on a medium pattern, this certainly could be used up by the time it gets down the lane.
these hook monsters the manufacturers are putting out these days are ridiculous, you need a ton of volume to use them
