On symmetrical solid balls, I like 5x4 layouts and label shifts.(a stronger version of label leverage)
On symmetrical pearls, I like rev leverage(3x4) and 315 degree layouts.
On asymmetricals, I like all layouts! The balls are just so versatile, you can do all types of things with them.
I have one asymmetrical drilled lefty that I use. I have a S&A drilled almost like a flip/stacked drilling with pin between and under the fingers, mass bias kicked out just a tad. I have an Animal drilled label, for control. I have an original 3D Offset drilled about 1:30,.....but it still flips like crazy.
Can't really say that there's one drilling that I favor. Depends on the conditions, that I'm trying to attack, and the hook-shape that I want.Of course coverstock and core combination play a strong part in that, as well.
