Question
I have a 16 lb fury and right handed.1 inch pin 1/8 below ring finger,2.5 top wait.cg is half inch left of the center of my grip. Is this a strong or weak layout? The ball has a very miled hook. I'v had 220 up to 1000 on it and have polished the 1000 grit. What can I do?

Answer
That layout would not be considered strong on the backend, but should have a nice consistant arcing motion down the lane.  If you would want more backend potential, you will need to polish the ball more than you have in the past.  Coverstock is the number one factor in ball performance, core design is second, and layout of the ball is third.

Good luck,
Chip
