3 drilling options
With all of these drill patterns you will probably want to use a fairly short pin to Pap Distance (i.e 3 3/8" to 4.5") to help the ball read the midlane (reduce length)
Go with something with a strong cover and put a 0 degree or 25 degree lay out on it. 0 to 25 degree refers to angle between Pap to Cg and Pap to Cg
another option would be the RICO lay out see
www.brunsnick.com again on a ball with a strong cover. (Pin in Center grip, Cg kicked out at 45 degrees w/ X-hole at 45 degrees 7" from center grip)
Another option is a 1:30 lay out.
if an X-hole is needed for the 1:30 layout see if u can throw it a few times before putting it in, and watch the x-hole video on
www.brunsnick.com if you don't want to get smoothness strictly due to drilling find a very low RG ball with a Med Diff. Solid particle would be the smoothest (i.e BVP Mammoth or Double Agent) followed by Solid reactive (i.e Scorching inferno or Special Agent). The last possible option would be a Pearl particle with a mellow drill like the 3 above and taken to around 1000-2000 grit (i.e Threshold). The reason I only mention Symmetrical cores is that they are generally smoother. for more info on how the different drill patterns react msg me or check out
