Weird Drillings

What are the strangest drillings that you've ever seen on a ball, and which that person actually had success with? I'm talkin like a ridiculous layout.

I had a thumb injury years ago.  I had an inch and a half reverse in one ball and an inch and three quarters in the other while I was healing.  Won the Dallas City tournament with it.  You cannot squeeze and knuckle the ball with that much reverse!  Had a really bad ball drill that caused the problem.  That's whole reason I learned to drill bowling balls.

I've got a ball that's drilled 4x11 or thereabouts (if the "11" means the CG and not the MB). It's a pro-pin ball.

Also have a Girard layout, Tommy Jones layout, modified Tommy Jones and one where the pin is in the middle finger and CG in the ring finger.

Weirdest one I've seen but not owned was a guy in our league that has the pin of his ball on his VAL about 4-5 inches below the midline and CG under the middle finger. I don't even know what that's supposed to do.
