Question
Hey Chip my name is Pete, I'm 17 and I'm just starting to learn how to drill bowling balls. The first ball I drilled was a used NVS which I shot 688 the first day with on a house shot. The problem i have isn't about drilling the bowling balls, it is trying to lay them out. My question to you is what are the basic layouts to use?

Answer
For basic layouts, visit the Ebonite.com and Stormbowling.com.   They both have some good layout info.

The basic layouts I use are pin above the bridge and pin below the ring finger.  I will move the CG around a bit off of those.

Good luck,
Chip
