I want a drilling that gives a good strong backend and the most continuation possible!
With no rollout anywhere.
Would that be a 12:00 or 1:30 drill for a righty? Like PIN over ring and CG stacked (at about 1" right of grip and with the MASS BIAS just right of the thumb)... or like PIN over ring and CG on grip center (CG dead on grip center and with the MASS BIAS either in the thumb or left of the thumb?)
What are your thoughts???

FOr me the drilling nearest stacked always has the most continuation. Or with mass bias right in thumb gives me a trememdous move.
Another way to ask the question is which drilling starts yielding the first 6 8s for me or the first 4 9s for you is the drilling that is maximizing the core.
Another thing is that I find certain cores give more continuation than others.
For example I don't find the fuze or silver streak cores to give a lot of continuation. They reach a point make a sudden flip and then go pretty straight. Detour also!
Other cores like a Sledgehammer or Razor wire seem to not make such a sudden break and then they keep closing higher on the hole. Also the Ego same thing.
Another that seems to do this for me is a Spell. Also a Victory SPT.
Why some cores have more of this and other's have less I don't know.
As you know not necessarily always a good thing!

For me balls with super low differential will roll across the whole lane if I can get them to roll early enough. i.e plastic, grove series, scout's they all have more continuation,maybe because they all have pucks or maybe its the differential. I could average higher with plastic if the lanes were just a touch drier. because I love the look on the lane of plastic just not the length sometimes.

Ric,
While some drillings may seem to allow balls to be more continuous than others, overall, and on average, it has more to do with these factors than the drilling itself:
- ball's surface relative to the lane's oil amount and pattern,
- the ball's RG differential,
- the bowler's speed relative to their rev rate.
The closer the pin gets to the PAP and the closer the CG/MB gets to the PAP, the less continuous the ball will be, in general.
I think the general pictures is that it depends on how appropriate the ball is to the bowler's release and the oil pattern that is the ultimate determinate.

For the most continuous hook, you'll need a drilling that goes longer and snaps harder. This will include maximizing the drilling with static weights, i.e. max side and finger weight.
For a stable core ball, i.e. Buzzsaw or Pulse, a 1:30 layout along with higher side and finger weights, will give you the most continuation through the pins.
For an asymmetrical core ball, or one with high density flip blocks on top or bottom, a higher RG layout, i.e. pin over bridge w/ CG kicked out may give you more continuation thru the pocket. =:^D

Thanks to everybody!!!
