Both.

I have a blue avalanche pearl I drilled on a leverage pattern that is awesome. I also enjoy some of my more aggressive equipment drilled with the pin negative below my middle finger. It gives me more length but the backends are amazing.

Surface and ball prep make a big difference as well. When it is all said and done I usually have about 4 solid drill patterns I use on all my equipment.

Rico,
Pin above or below ring finger with cg in palm,
same with cg kicked out  and a weight hole,
and pin negative.

IMO
 drill strong balls with longer pin to pap will help with burning up in the heads.drill weak stuff strong to help burn off a little energy and keep the snap down or help with over/under.works well for most league conditions but for the real heavy oil or real dry I keep a strong layout on a strong ball and a weak layout on a weak ball.

My strategy is to chose a ball and its layout for a desired reaction and utility package, to exploit a ball design's potential. That said, I would not take strong ball and drill it weak, hoping to tame it down atrificially. Then, I'd rather use an overall weaker piece and set it up to do the intended job, and using its potential more effectively. I'd also not drill a ball against its nature, unless I have a special plan that would include coverstock, drilling and surface prep.
