I would assume the ball would go fairly long as it's trying to get back on a positive spin point, but I am curious, because I have thoughts of doing this sometime soon, to give me something to play straighter with.
Any ideas?

It's not necessarily putting a left handed drill for a righty and visa versa. It just means that the distance from your individual PAP is longer.
I have a few bowling balls with the pin under my middle finger. For me, that equates to a 5.25" pin to PAP.
(for others with a lower track it may only equate to 4" Pin to PAP, higher tracks 5.5-6" Pin to PAP)
For me this layout gets me cleaner thru the heads and a longer transition time when it gets to dry boards.

I have routinely used left-handed drilled balls for super-dry, or reverse block conditions in tournaments! They work very well, as long as you go straighter.
They were ususally just label drills for left-handers

Now I am somewhat intrigued.

Yes, that does make more sense. So in a sense the further away from your PAP you go, the more length? Or no?

Length is think is a result of less flare. The distance from your PAP determines the flare potential of the ball you're drilling.

Less flare does equate to length. However a 1 inch pin to PAP is also a low flare drilling but makes the ball roll very early. Keep that in mind.

6 1/4" pin by 6" MB to my PAP. (basically almost all the way in my thumb hole)
Look a bit lefty?
The ball rolls fantastic with clean backends. Any bit of oil, watch out. The surface is also now 2000, so I have a little more experimenting to do.
My Emerald Vibe is also drilled with a 6" pin to PAP, and that also rolls fantastic!
Spider Ball Bowler, it's worth a shot, believe me. Good luck!
