However, I've been thinking about trying it in a planet series ball since they have such a low diff and tend to get down the lane really well.

Have a Neptune drilled like this. Smooth and predictable on med to dry.

I'd love to see it on a Neptune or Venus!

Last ball I had that drilling on was a Raspberyy Ninja RPM. Ball rolled great, but it was seriously condition specific. If there was too much oil out there, it let you know in a hurry.
Lanes had to be dryish and dryer.

I agree, this was a favorite drilling of mine especially in urethane!
Chappy did you ever try the compu-balance lay outs? They were a variation of the axis leverage lay outs. The pin was 3-4" from PAP, but instead of a weight hole thru the CG (axis point), the hole was close to 9" from center of grip.
You could never do it with todays flare monsters, but urethane blue hammers back in the day were awesome with this type of lay out.

Do you think this kind of lay out would be good on the fresh? It seems to me that getting the ball to "lay off" until the lane settles down is a huge part of bowling on the fresh.

Yes, this could be a very good layout for fresh although if there is enough volume although I prefer to go with surface to have it bleed off some energy. But if the volume is thin/light, then this layout on a weaker piece could be great on fresh because it would help with controlling the backends.
I didn't know it was called compu-balance, but I used Mo Pinel's "Power" System (can't remember the correct name). It was basically 5 variations of leverage with the weighthole in various positions long your midline. Power 3 was "traditional" leverage with the weighthole on the axis and 5 was 9" from center of the grip. I used the Power 5 in a Nitro and Purple Nitro and had some of the best ball reactions ever! LOL!
BTW, that 9" weighthole is good now on lower flare layouts cause it gets the flare rings to separate on the back part of the lane. Great for when the heads and mids go but there is still oil downlane.
