My Coach got a new ball last week or so (shift) was bowling with her on Sunday after league, when I noticed the Drill on it.

the pin looks about leverage.

but the MB is REALLY weird spot.. WELL left of the thumb...

No I am just

Curious as to what this would ACTUALLY do to a balls reaction..

She is looking for this to fit underneath an Original Paradigm...

The ball is laid out the same as all the other balls out driller does, except for the weird MB position...

I will post picks later once I get them off my camera

This is our Paradigm

Yes that is VERY unusual for a higher mass bias ball like the Shift. While MB position is always relative to the bowler's PAP and its distance from the PAP, that one looks like the ball will have a very late and very minimal breakpoint.

Now if she has a very slow ball speed and higher rev rate, that could beproper. I would not say it was wrong, but I'd be suspicious.

You'd have to ask the driller or watch the ball's reaction.

Of course if the driller is not aware of mass bias drilling techniques, he/she could have just ignored it and used only the pin and the CG.

If the ball weight is 13 pounds or less, it could have one of Storm's simpler symmetric core and not the asymmetric core which is in their 14, 15 and 16 lb balls. In that case, that drilling is just fine.

Hmm... it's probably a bad thing if the first thing that comes to mind upon seeing that pic is "what the hell?"

I know of an individual that is convinced she has to use exotic layouts to get balls to perform well for her, but that layout is absolutely ridiculous.  

Someone needs their head examined.   Either her, or the person responsible for laying it out.  (There is a very, very minimal chance that she needs this layout to get a decent reaction.  I'm thinking that the proshop just doesn't know any better.)

Sure, there's the possibility that the MB is mismarked, but that would be the first time I've heard of that sort of quality control issue with Storm.
