Question
I recently bought a Morich LevRG drilled with a strong arc to play outside line on medium to heavy oiled lanes. I stay behind the ball like Walter Ray! It worked fine last week during league; I shot a high 600 set. Last night the conditions were different no matter where I played, the ball went straight, with no hook whatsoever. The last game I used my spare plastic ball (old ebonite skull drilled stacked leverage) played the outside line and shot 220 game. Should I stick with stack leverage drillings for my complete arsenal for league and tournaments and just change coverstocks?

Thank you,

Answer
I dont think drilling balls with the strongest layouts give good options on most conditions.  The strong layout would be good for the ball you want to use on the heaviest oil patterns, but having some different balls with control layouts will give you much more versatility.

Check with your local pro shop and go over your equipment and suggest layouts to fill any holes that you may have.

Good luck,
