I would recommend a label leverage drilling with a 3 o'clock pin to CG and grip. This will put the p in in a strong position while cutting down on the length somewhat, allowing you to play the oil line. =:^D

i have only seen cranberry's roll well with the pin above the bridge or pin below the finger,and the cg kicked out.any other drilling makes the ball lope down te lane.
you may want to dull the box finish as the ball goes very long......hope you enjoy the ball.

To T-GOD, because I've very little side rotation, would the label leverage give me too much length?

To scottie: What's the difference between the 2 drillings you mentioned? Seeing the lane1's web tech data, I'm at a dilemma as to which drilling spec is better suited for me...

My main concern is with regards to my low revs and little side rotation.

hi-the cg out will get the ball to roll earlier.....pin under being the strongest roll and pin over will give u more length....smooth curve to the pocket.
one other suggestion...3 3/8 x3 3/8 which will give you length and flip..strong turn to the pocket......like i said,the balls i have seen lope down the lane and a label drilling may not be strong enough......its a great drilling and tgod knows what he is talking about....
i would go pin over bridge,cg kicked out 2 inches...good luck

I suggested a 3:00 pin instead of a 1:30 to cut down the lope and length. I feel without much side turn, a CG out drilling will not carry well, because there will be too much roll. Also, taking shine off the cover will help if the ball slides too much. =:^D
