What are the measurement for this layout? And what will it produce? I'm a tweener  and I bowl straight up about 6-2.

looks like layout #3 to me, for more info on it, go to www.ebonite.com  go to the tech center & then drilling instructions for the TNV

It is layout three. With 4000 factory polish ,it will go long, but when it hits a dry board it will flip.I took mine down to 1000 and polished and it mellowed out the snap.It makes sense though , because the ball starts up earlier. Gonna try 2000 polished tomorrow. I like the ball polished ,because it appears to hold the energy better and gives the ball a more arching hook.I loved the way it snapped with the factory 4000 on it. but it finished to late for me on medium to heavy oil with a good rev rate.If 2000 polish doesn't work ,then i might be stuck.Might try it without polish just for curiousity. Good luck to ya

I love this ball! I'm new to bowling and it's the only ball I really have. I'm using it for all three games in my league and it works really good for the first game, really really good for the second game, then goes down hill for the third game. I'm fighting trying to find a line so it won't go high of the head pin or brooklin.  I move left during the third game but I start leaving bad splits. I was thinking about trying Tracks delayed reaction on the cover to see if it would hold up for the third game an have a calmer back end.

rc:
A couple "tricks" that will usually work if your line gets a little jumpy that last game.  Push your target down lane, meaning if you are targeting 3rd arrow, actually project the arrow four or five feet farther down lane.  This will get the ball a little farther down lane as it initially insures you aren't setting it short.  A second thing to try is to keep your index and pinkie fingers tighter to you grip fingers, this will also get the ball to push down lane.  I see by your profile you have a lower average and these are just a couple things I've picked up over the years with experience.  The ability of the TNV to recover will still get it back to the hole.  Good luck.

The TNV does recover. Another trick to keep in mind is....with carrydown...usually in the third game...move right a board or two...keeping your same target. And Trust the TNV. It will work. By the way...I have an agressive drill on mine....with the pin just below and right of my ring finger. It's working well.
