Question:

If you gave a favorite "drilling layout" for  Symmetric ball.....Will it work on a Asymmetric ball??? Thanks

Answer: Louis,

No, not really. The whole idea of an asymmetric core, is to have a stronger effect from the core of the ball.

If you put a favorite/strong layout in an asymmetric ball it would be exponentially stronger because of the core. Even a weaker layout can be harder to control or predict the motion, because of the effect of the core.

Remember, also, that any core wrapped in a cover that is struggling to gain friction, too smooth, to weak for the condition volume or length, will be less predictable. So, strong cores must have appropriate cover strength and/or surface roughness to allow the ball to hook where you need it to hook. A favorite symmetric core/ball layout is typically less violent so more controllable and predictable.

Thanks for the question. Bowl well.
