I like going close to PAP to enhance control, maybe 2 - 2 1/2". One of my "go to" balls is drilled 2" from PAP and the reaction is great for playing straighter. If the lanes open up a bunch I usually need to put it away in favor of something drilled stronger.
Everyone needs a ball drilled this stable in their arsenal, in my opinion. Too often we fall in love with maximizing hook, and everything looks alike, etc.
