Well, since you don't really know for sure what you want out of the ball, I will just give a few general recommendations.   I see that you throw the ball on the slower side, and with the long pin on this ball, I would say go with a pin over drilling, rather than a pin under drilling.  The last thing you want is to have your new ball roll out at 30ft.  The pin over drilling will make the ball a little more flippy, and less rolly, but you can always adjust that reaction with weight hole placement.  The cg is actually in a good position for a lefty, as it will allow you to place the mb pretty much anywhere you want and still be static legal.  I would double check the cg to make sure it is at least close to the punch mark, as I have been seeing an increase in mis-marked cg's across the board lately.

Other than that, I can't really give you more specifics about drill patterns without knowing specifically what you want out of the ball.  Good luck, I hope it rolls well for you.

I might consider a few options personally (I'm looking into these myself, though I'm a righty and power player).

1. Hard, angular turn. Plenty of backend w/ controllability. Smooth continuation through the pindeck (my personal favorite layout on a lot of stuff.

-----MB--

2. Really angular, LOTS of backend. Very aggressive, but CLEAN AS HECK through the heads. For the long pin, I might go with this one.

3. Smooth, controllable, reliable. May have a tendency to flat ten when the lanes aren't right, also, may not be very suitable for broken down lanes. Best on fresh lanes, med-high volumes, med length patterns. (Example: Chameleon/Scorpion 38-42 ft). Most house shots are 37-40, so it would probably work if you're willing to play a little further in where there's a little more oil.

Remember, these are my suggestions as a righty with about 17 mph and 400-450 revs...adjust as necessary. (any questions, feel free to message me.)
