Are layouts pretty much standard or does each company have a specific way they feel a ball should be laid out? Are layouts different for symmetricical and asymmetrical cores? I ask this because if a pro shop only carries a few companies they may not be aware of some of the more dynamic cores being designed by companies like Radical or Seismic.

As far as I have seen there's a set of parameters necessary to layout asymmetric cores and there's a set for symmetric cores. They do not vary from one manufacturer to the other.
For asymmetric cores, there are 2 basic methods that are similar: the Dual Angle method and the Storm "buffer" method. While they appear different, they're basically variations of each other.
Some manufacturers may strongly suggest that a particular ball be laid in one set of ways due to the relative strength of its cover with respect to the strengths of its core.
No matter what the drilling, if the surface isn't right for your delivery and the friction you see (oil + lane surface), the ball won't work correctly.

Not company specific, but it seems to be going the route of ball/core specific for balls like the Seismic Venator, 900 Global Protocol, and Radical's Yeti. Drillers MUST do their research prior to punching holes.

Some companies (MoRich, and now Radical) want the holes you place in a ball to affect the post-drilled dynamics, some companies contour the core(some Storm stuff) in such a manner that you can't drastically affect the dynamics in an unexpected manner.
