Which layout would most likely be better for playing up the boards, the 8, 10, 12 board area. Label or Stacked drilling.

you need to tell us about your style before we can tell you what a ball is going to do.

Neither. Pin below fingers, pin to pap as you feel appropriate IMO.

Your answer seems to be pretty accurate kmanestor22.

I went back and looked at all the pieces I tend to use going up the boards, and two of my balls are pin below fingers. The other one I sometime use is pin right of ring finger, with cg kicked even further right.

Since a label drilling tends to give a soft arc, that would definitely be out of the question. A stacked drilling might be useful, depending on your speed and whether you are rev-dominant.

A pin close to your axis will usually play outside lines better. =:^D

Depending on lane conditions and release characteristics one of the new urethane balls could be great for up the boards. I frequently use my Slate Blue straight up 10 until the lanes break down enough that I have to move further inside. When I have to make that move the ball pings 10 pins until I switch to resin. -- JohnP

Alot fo factors come into play. What kind of bowler are you? What is your PAP? What lane condition are you on? Most of the time, though, layouts that make the ball smooth off the dry are going to work best. You dont necessarily want skid/flip playing next to the gutter as you tend to get an over/under issue. Balls that are smooth reaction wise and maybe even on the duller side to blend in the pattern is what will work best in most cases.
