I haven't thrown one with the tommy jones layout, but I have used more traditional layouts.  I drilled one 5" down mass bias 70 degrees, 5 1/2" up mass bias 70 degrees and 6" down mass bias 50 degrees.  All of them clear the fronts very well and respond downlane.  I've never used the TJ layout so I don't know how it would react, but my favorite layouts do as advertised

Apply Powerhouse Extender polish right over the factory finish polish and it will give you more length.

The cover is really smooth for me. Sometimes it tends to burn up easily.

Drilled one of these up to go long a hard(when i'm tryin to go up the boards), but find that after polishing(beans) it gave me the additional length needed before it turned the corner, but once the polish wears it starts to check way tooo early.
