Very useful info on how layout plays a critical role in the performance of this line of balls.

The "Double Thumb" weighthole in relation to that strong mass bias placement creates the largest amount of assymetry in an assymetric ball.  It is achievable to increase mass bias differential in excess of .008-010+ with this extra hole.  It makes an even bigger void in which the ball wants to rotate around when it reaches it's PSA.  A bowling ball will always want to spin up to the largest void in the ball/or perferred spin axis.  When you combine the two elements it causes a very strong effect that makes the breakpoint more pronounced and can really open up a new window in ball motion when it comes to sharp breakpoints.  You can see in the video how much further left the tester has to play with the stronger layout, and also how much stronger off the spot the "double thumb" weighthole makes the ball.

I may try the double thumb hole with one of the balls I have undrilled currently, one question though would a double thumb hole work for lets say, a old Renegade Titanuim or a Primal Rage? if not I will also try one on the Complete Annhilation II, I have waiting in the on deck circle.

I'm not sure but I keep hearing the words Assymetrical in the comments above.

Though the Primal Rage is a high differential ball it is not assymetrical....

I'll defer to the REAL experts on this drilling.

I love Fred Carrolls tossin and have seen it live before....he's NOT on the Pro tour...?  I can never understand that stuff!

I am assuming the double thumb drilling be done on any Asymmetrical ball? Or is it a Morich thing?

Also is this drilling going to make the ball more suspect to rolling out?

Mo once laid out a ball for me....$$$ (crimson Red Sledgehammer(still occassionally using)

I found these videos so helpful not only in looking at the new balls.   BUT also it prompted me to go study the dual angle drilling method....quite fascinating stuff.

Also the gradient line weight holes...

Finally the difference in how flare potential of symmetric balls vs assymetric balls.

Great stuff!

PS very interesting to me right now....Midlane oriented drilling.

I just feel the information in these videos and out on Mo's site regarding the dual angle drilling system etc....is so powerful....I wanted everyone who wants to really understand why they are getting the reactions they are getting out of their equipment.

Fantastic!

Not sure if this is what Cambumbo means, but these (http://"http://www.putfile.com/morich24") videos are from Gordon24's profile.

Yes, these are some of the videos. Thank you Strider. I remember there being some featuring the later Vanguard equipment, the Awesome Finish and Hook as well.

I'm not quite understand the dual angle layout. Like in the video.

Ball #1 , Control Drilling ,  70 x 2 1/4 x 50
The 2 1/4" Pin to PAP distance control the flare. And the large angle sum makes the ball transit slow. Which the ball will not hook too much and sudden change direction ?

Ball #2 , Strong Mid Lane ,  15 x 4 3/4 x 30
4 3/4" , large flare pin distance, but what's the purpose using this distant ?
Small angle sum , Small drilling angle in relation to the VAL angle, create more mid-lane ?
Why the balance located at P2 ?

To StrikeMachine10..

I seem to recall someone saying 40 ft.. House shot..

To chun914..

Ball 1.. Control drilling.. Yes.. Pin distance for less flare and large angle sum for slower transition..

Ball 2.. Strong Midlane.. Pin distance 4 3/4", as you say is a large flare distance, but also "creates" more side roll.. In combination with the smaller angle sums creates earlier roll, stronger midlane, but also more movement and stronger recovery..
Balance Hole at P2 basically just makes the ball legal without altering reaction much..

For those that haven't seen the NTENSE in action.  

My Ntense continues to impress me.  The ball is strong but controllable and seems to blend out the tough patterns well.  The hit and carry is phenomenal!  

I can totally see buying 3 of these balls and using different layouts and cover preps.  However, my next purchase will be the original LevRG.
