Looking for a suggestion or two on a layout for a newly acquired 15# NIB Track Phenom (thank you, eBay!), unsure of pin or TW though, so that will obviously play into the choice of layout.

My stats: About 15-16 mph, i'd say medium-high amount of revs, high tracker, somewhat versatile (meaning can crank it, can stroke it, most comfortable somewhere in between).  I like to play inside if I can, but can play outside as long as it's not terribly direct (but learning ), I like layouts that provide a bit of pop on the backend, I find that I can make the ball roll more with hand position changes than I can make it flip with the same changes

Ideally this ball will fit the medium-heavy to heavy spot in my "arsenal" and it will be the strongest ball I'll have right now (more than a Black Widow drilled pin under ring, MB strong, sanded to 1000 grit).

I was thinking of trying Mo's asymmetrical flip layout, which is pin 1 1/2" from VAL, 3 to 4 1/2" from PAP, MB at least 1" right of centerline, the description is "ball reacts hardest at the breakpoint and turns the corner (short transition drilling)".  This looks ideal but I would be worried then about the ball being more long than strong, but it is a strong-ish particle ball designed for heavier oil, so maybe I shouldn't be too worried.

Any suggestions here would be appreciated, feel free to talk me out of this idea of mine and talk me into a new one, I'm always open for suggestions...many thanks ahead of time!

There's been others Clint, I wouldn't worry too much about it, I got mine with no fight, I was the only bidder

I did have a Phenom back when I was throwing 16#, but it was pin up and polished, didn't roll too good polished, but then again polished strong particle has never rolled well for me.

I think I may go with the Asymmetrical Flip drilling as described above, if it rolls out I'll take the cover up a bit with abralon.

Now to wait on that Inertia...my jaw hit the floor when I saw it was going to be comparable to the Unleashed *drools*...

Other opinions are welcomed by the way...

Ideally I wouldn't like this ball for the house shot, I would like it more for heavier conditions (but not necessarily a flood, no ball will move on a flood) but still have a little movement in the backend rather than just all roll.  Maybe if I go for the Standard Asymmetrical drill (pin 1 3/4 to 2 3/4" above the midline, 2 to 6" from PAP, MB at least 1" right of centerline) that'll be a little better, their description is "The ball reads the midlane with continuation on the backend (medium transition drilling). Maybe that will work better?
