Drilling up a ball for a teammate to use at Nationals tournament.  Looking for a second ball to go to after fresh shot has began to transition.  Something to move in a bit with, but still controllable on the backend.  For a number of reasons, we chose the Roto All Out Show Off.

He has 17.5  mph at the pins, low tilt - very high track (near fingers - PAP is 5 7/8" over), rotation ~ 70 deg and rev rate around 400 to 425.  Usually we struggle with getting the ball into a roll early enough and making the backend smooth.  Due to the high track, any "pin down" layouts tried in the past have flared over the fingers.  So we have been relying on surface to help out.  Wondering if there are any layout ideas that maybe we haven't thought about.

Thanks!

More Cash with surface

Personally, I think it’s too big of a leap. I think the AOSO would be a great end of block ball that gets good length but doesn’t lope. But earlier in the set I’d expect a lot of over under.

For the early transition, I’d prefer to see a second rolly asym with less surface, like a No Rules Pearl at 4000.

Have you considered a shorter pin to PAP along with surface adjustments?

As far as the balls go, the Marvel Pearl(with surface) and Absolute Truth recommendations are pretty spot on. Could go with a 4 4-5 inch pin and use surface to blend or go with a 2 inch pin to really slow down the response time and still can fine tune the cover. Absolute Truth is one of the earliest rolling balls I've ever thrown and there is no jump out of it. Amazing ball for Nationals on the fresh. Honestly, Marvel Pearl after it would be a great 1-2 punch for Nationals.
