According to everything I've been led to believe, a hole on your val above your pap will decrease flare potential, a hole on your pap leaves it basically unchanged, and a hole on your val below your pap increases flare potential.

For asymmetric balls you can also read up on gradient line balance holes here - http://www.morichbowling.com/Drilling/GradientLineBalanceHole/GradientLineBalanceHole.htm

Holes on the PAP can affect the ball reaction, but it appears to depend on how far the pin is from the PAP/hole.
