I’m seriously considering getting this ball. My ball speed is around 14mph according to the ball center speed measuring system. I don’t have any numbers but I consider myself rev dominant. I plan to use the ball during transition or second game during league on the THS.  Should my pro shop dude lay it out for control or angular?

It depend on where you throw the ball. If you play right then control but if you play inside angular. If you give me more infro If you are right hand or not. What part of lane you play etc. I will tell you more.

I'm right handed.  First game, I usually start out standing on board 25 with my target around the 15 board at the arrows. 

You might be on to something. My original Soniq is drilled pin down, pin below my middle finger.  Man so I love the motion I get with this layout. It is smooth and controllable. This seem to fit my style pretty well. During transition should I stick this layout or something more angular?  My HyperCell Fused is pin up, pin above the middle finger. I do seem like I’m fighting to get it to hook.

I know this is the Storm forum, but hear a 900 Global guy out.

In my opinion, you should drill a ball for how fast you want the response to be. If you drill a ball that is fast response with a drill that makes it respond fast, use it on the right condition.

For example, you drill a ball that is fast response (Shiny pearl, high diff) with a fast response drill (4.5*30 or something), you're going to need to play the lanes more front to back. Once you try to go more left to right and pitch it into the dirt, it will be over under city. Probably best used on longer patterns when you need a fast change in direction.

That said, I will take balls and go with a larger val angle (lower pin) for control. It reads the midlane for me because it's slower to transition. When I notice the pin down ball getting a little soft downlane, I will switch to something faster to get it to read correctly.
