Anyone else find that this drilling just seems to work the best for them on their typical house shot? For me, it provides decent length, a good read in the midlane, and an aggressive backend. The ball also hits very hard to boot.

I always kept the same layout, and used different coverstocks.

Best drilling for me so far seems to be pin above the rinmg finger with mb in strong position next to thumb. Any position closer to my PAP (not to speak of a 3 3(8" drilling) only results in too much ball movement since I play rather slow and with some good hand.

Remember that people often try to force balls to work on "house shots" by using unusual drillings, ranging from "rev leverage" to pins in the track or on the PAP. These balls, if they work properly with these drillings are obviously not designed for that oil pattern plus that bowler's release.
Be careful when you assume.

Wow, every ball I've drilled with the MB in a "Strong" position (just right of thumb) goes too long down the lane and leaves corner pins unless I am high flush...

because your ball speed is greater than your rev rate, yo uneed a lower pin-MB distance than people whose rev rate is proportionate to their ball speed or whose rev rate is greater than their ball speed.
This is one of those cases where a factor of the release & the delivery must be considered when trying to get the right ball reaction. Instead of a 4-5" pin-MB distance (MB just to the right of the thumb hole), you probably need a 1"-3" pin-MB distance or even a MB on or past the VAL. Hasn't a MoRich, Track or Storm Paradigm asymmetric technical person ever suggested such to you?

But you implied this is right for all balls on a house shot. As I explained, that "ain't necessarily so." It highly depends on the ball. You may have chosen the right ball or close to the right ball every time ... so far.

I have a very strong side roll(about 60 degrees axis rotation).
This drilling ALMOSt always seems to get too deep on most conditions for me and then break very angularly to the hole leaving me a TON of ringing 7s.
Now as one realizes the lane surface on many lanes is much slicker on the left than on the right....I'm not talking about oil....I'm talking about the actual friction of the lane at the 40 foot mark and in that area. Much less on the left much more on the right!
In addition my observation(I have an outstanding bowling friend) that can use this drilling nearly EVERYWHERE...even on US open type conditions. He has a side roll of about 30 degrees.
I talk about thsi drilling and people's release in the reference section that I think I had in creating on this site a long time ago. Under Storm Track he has conveniently continued to repost it for everyone's use!
At my slick synthetic house with always a little carrydown in the proper break area...stacked seems to be the answer for the lefty! Not just me...but all lefties!
Serious Kick outs like at most other houses in America for lefties are NOT the answer as there is very little midlane oil! (16 foot short run on top of 12 hours of bowling 40 foot scrapple). Kick outs encourage midlane. Unless it is a Brunswick ball of course!
REGards,
