Ok Folks,

I have done the videos for the Nomads, if you haven't seen them here is a link

http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=240055&ForumID=77&CategoryID=2

I have 1 more of each ball sitting here waiting to be drilled for a layout comparison and some surface changes.  I figured i would try something new, and let you guys have some input as to what layouts i put on these.  Kind of a viewers choice for ball reaction videos.

Depending on how many suggestions i get or what the consensus is i will either choose a layout or put it to a public vote.  This is a trial run and depending how this goes i may do this again in the future, we shall see.

Again keep in mind these balls will be used in a direct comparison with the balls drilled in the videos posted above.

Lets hear the ideas!

I wouldn't mind you doing them with pin down layouts, you tend to mostly everything pin up, a pin down layout with the same pin to PAP distance would be interesting to see how the layouts really changed the reaction in the balls. Just a thought though.

I want to see a layout on the solid like the one you put on the virtual energy. pin under the middle finger and kick the cg to a safe spot for no weight hole.

Pin axis for the pearl would be great to see.. and maybe something pin down 5x4 for the solid.

I third magicmike's idea.  If you don't go that route, I second the 6 x 4 for the solid, or maybe a 5 x 5.  For the pearl, pin axis or around there would be interesting to see.

I would def like to see a pin down Solid.  Maybe a 5*3 or 5*4 or somewhere in that neighborhood? and a 5x4 pin up for the pearl.

Or for something really different.  How about a 2.5"x 1" for either of them? its my favorite layout .

Solid and Pearl: 45deg x 5 x 65deg pin below middle finger weight hole on val.
To see the difference in reaction and to watch the clean smooth reaction in the mid-lane.

If i can get them to run a pair for me with something other than a house shot i will.  Problem being, if i just have them do just one or two lanes with a sport shot it never comes out right, plays way to easy compared to what it should be...

I like the thought of a axis drill, i was planning to drill the Pearl like my Neptune but the first thought that came to mind about the solid was a axis drill.
