Hey BrunsNick, Brunsrich and Brunsbob or any other person that knows a great deal about Brunswick drill patterns.  Over the past year I have been trying each company and I just love the reaction that Brunswick and Morich give but I mostly use Brunswick.  Here is what arrived today and was curious as to how you guys think i should punch em up.  All have between 2-3 pin and tops except classic which has 4oz of top.  My pap is 4 3/4 right and 1/2 up, medium speed and medium revs.  

original inferno box condition driled 4 x 4 pin next to ring
Ultimate drilled 4 1/4 x 3 3/8 pin slightly under ring(dull in box condition).
Intense Inferno that is about 4 3/4 x 3 with pin above ring.  
Impulse zone-5 1/2"pin to PAP over middle finger and PSA about 2" right of thumb
Classic Zone-4 3/4 pin to PAP above ring and psa about 1 1/2 right of thumb
Ultimate Inferno-4x4 in box condition
Absolute Inferno-pin in palm and cg out.
Punisher drilled 5 3/4 x 4 1/2 with pin above bridge with negative side weight

Anything else you guys think i need?


ALSO THOUGHT I WOULD SAY: that i will be bowling the PTQ for the PBA Banquet Open in Michigan on March 16th if you would help with what layouts you think I could use there.  Thanks again!

Eww...pattern D!  Tough nuggets.  I would definately do with a negative drill(5 to 5 1/2 pin over your middle finger) with a stronger Mass Bias on the Impulse Zone(add polish).  That should give you more area down the lane as the break down with a consistant read through the heads and midlane.  With one of those Absolutes(or Regular Inferno), I love the look of the layout(I forget exactly which one it is on the new Brunswick sheet), that puts the Pin 1-1.5 inches over the middle finger, with the c.g kicked about 2 inches from the grip center and the flare-reducing weighthole inside of your VAL.  This will give you the needed angle to get inside and carry, but the flare reducing hole should lay off the tendency for the Infernos to want to start checking up so early in the midlanes.

I've seen alot of staffers shy away from the use of the Power Grooves and Punishers for more than a Gap or Niche ball, but I think they work very well with a 4 inch pin to PAP placement(C.G. out near PAP), Weighthole deep into the PAP, for a more hook/set reaction.  Works great in fierce backends, and drying tracks.  It will also give you the option of playing up the out of bounds if you take the surface down to about 1000 or 1500.  I say choose the Power-Grooves or Punisher only because they will push better through the heads and midlanes than something as early revving as the Inferno Series or Classic Zone or Nemesis.

Good luck out at the PTQ.
