Do you ever use both layouts in the same set? Or only when you happen to see different oil patterns?
If one layout is more to your liking, do you find yourself over using this layout over the other?
Have you ever found one type of ball that was "really" different between the two layouts?
Thanks

I haven't had two of the same ball, I don't buy much equipment and by the time I'm ready to buy a ball there's something that's got my eye or I luck into something used.

If you look at Jeff Carters arsenal, he also has the same balls with different grit covers.

pin next to ring finger cg kick slightly to the right about a 35 degree drill
with a weight hole about an inch inside pap 2000 grit surface. This ball reads earlier with a hard arc (have a 300 with this one). Can cover most med-heavy to med light with just these two balls. Also have had in the bag at one time or another 2 white dots, yellow dots, excaliburs, teal rhinos, navy quantum, midnight quantum, black diamonds, udots and blue hammers.

When I run across a deal on a ball that has proven to be one of my favorites, I will pick up a second one to try a different layout and surface.
My two local houses are both THS shots on synthetics. The shot does not change too much, so two balls with different surfaces is often all it takes to stay in the groove. That said, most of the time, one ball will get the job done with minor changes.

I bowled with Clint at a tourney when he carried in 5 two-ball totes stuffed with Robo Rules. It was the first time I had met Clint. I thought he was completely nuts. Now, after talking with him on a few occasions, I KNOW he is completely nuts!
Just messing with you Clint!
Hope that arm gets healed up soon!
For those of you that do not know Clint, he is definitely one of the good guys. You won't run into a nicer guy.

Like everyone is saying, either have different layouts, which will give you different entry angles, with one carrying better than the other on certain conditions and visa versa.
Or, have the same layout with different surface grits, at least 1 dull and 1 shiny. Either way or if not both, this is the way to go. =:^D

For me with the Risings it works out where I start with the suggested 1 layout. !hen it starts to roll up to much. I switch to the Pin up that gives me the same length but a smoother read on the back on the same line. When that is to much, I go to the trick layout that will roll real early but do just that roll. It will not flip hard so when I get on lanes with screaming backends it helps calm them down and give me a rico like reaction.
The other way of doing this is with say something like two balls where the only thing different is the cover. Storm has some good examples for this. Say you have a jolt particle, a solid reactive jolt and the pearl. You keep the covers different and the layouts the same. This gives you a layout you understand and you let the cover make up how the ball will react. This was is easier to get the balls to fall in line because of how strong the covers are today. However a very versatile ball can give you a world of reactions with layout and/or just a simple cover change.
