Pick a ball that is designed for the lane condition you face,(light, med, or maybe heavy oil ect)
Then match a drill pattern to that ball and your style for desired condition.
Then adjust surface as needed.
Or pick the biggest hooking ball on the market to use on light oil,
then drill the ball to go long,
then complain when the ball doesn't work well on said conditions.
That is what most bowlers seem to do theses days.
55x4x50 layout on two different balls, one at 1:07 the other at the 2:15 mark. Read the notes for the condition bowled on
