If 2 bowlers have similar paps (4 1/2" for example) but one has roughly 35deg of tilt and the other has around 10 degrees. Both players want a very flippy layout. What changes or alterations do you make for the player with exessive tilt.

Also what type of layouts loose axis tilt quicker.

This is a great question, while I am sure there are others on here that could do a better job of anwsering it, I will take a stab at it.

The player with the more tilt is naturally going to get more length and flip than the player with the smaller tilt.  Keep that in mind when drilling.  A suggestion would be keep the pin to pap the same, just change the pin buffer or keep the pin a little lower for the player with the higher tilt.  

Layouts that loose axis tilt faster are layouts that are going to get the core to stand up faster.  Basicaly putting the pin closer than 3 3/ inches from the PAP.

More surface and lower/shorter pins help lose tilt faster.
Less surface and/or polish, and higher/longer pins help add length.

Aside: 35 degrees is a HUGE amount of tilt or did you just use it as an example?
I used to have 20 degrees of tilt and thought that was a lot. Then I almost always used pins under the level of the bridge area.

If someone with 35 degrees of tilt wants a flippy layout, almost any normal layout will be flippy for him.
