There are only two components that allow us to apply the technique to a ball. They are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Total Angle Sum<\/li>\n<li>The Angle Ratio<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--nextpage--><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;\">The Total Angle Sum<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Total Angle Sum is exactly what it sounds like &#8211; the sum of the two angles that comprise the layout. The greater the total the longer the layout will go. For example, for any given bowler, a ball with a total sum of 100\u00b0 will push further down lane and cover less boards than the same ball for the same bowler with total sum of 80\u00b0 on the same oil condition.<\/p>\n<p>So what does this mean? We can change the total sum to suit the conditions we&#8217;re bowling on. If we are bowling on shorter, drier conditions, we will tend to want to use higher totals, to allow the ball to get further down lane . For longer, heavier conditions we will tend to want to use lower totals to help get the ball started up sooner on the lane.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;\">The Angle Ratio<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Like the Total Angle Sum, the Angle Ratio is exactly what it sounds like &#8211; the ratio between the two angles that comprise the layout. The ratio is ALWAYS expressed as Drilling angle to VAL angle.<\/p>\n<p>The Angle Ratio helps us determine the overall shape of the shot. Regardless of conditions, for any given bowler, lower ratios will tend to roll sooner and transition smoother at the break point, while higher ratios will tend to roll later and transition faster at the break point.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;\">Putting it all together<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now that we know about totals and ratios, how do we put them to use? Knowing what we know about totals and ratios, we know that totals basically determine total hook, while the ratios basically determine how the boards are covered. Simple, right? No? How about a couple of examples.<\/p>\n<h3>Example 1 &#8211; Same total, different ratios<\/h3>\n<p>If we put a layout of 60\u00b0 \/ 4&#8243; \/ 40\u00b0 on ball (100\u00b0 total, 1.5:1 ratio) and a layout 50\u00b0 \/ 4&#8243; \/ 50\u00b0 on the same ball (100\u00b0 total, 1:1 ratio), we already know that both balls will cover about the same number of boards. The major difference between them will the shape of the overall shot on the lane. The first layout will push a little further and read the break point a little harder, while the second layout will roll a little sooner and come off the break point a little smoother, giving us a more arcing motion compared to the first layout.<\/p>\n<h3>Example 2 &#8211; Different totals, same ratio<\/h3>\n<p>Again starting with a layout of\u00a060\u00b0 \/ 4&#8243; \/ 40\u00b0 on ball (100\u00b0 total, 1.5:1 ratio) and a layout of 45\u00b0 \/ 4&#8243; \/ 30\u00b0 on the same ball (75\u00b0 total, 1.5:1 ratio), we can expect a similar shot shape, but since the second layout has a much lower total, we know the second ball will cover a few more boards over all.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;\">What does it all mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Given what we know about the layout technique so far, we can start to make a few assumptions about the types of layouts we are likely to need given the conditions we&#8217;re going to be bowling on. The longer, heavier conditions almost always require us to get the ball started up sooner. With out much thought, we know we will be using lower totals to try to cover more boards and lower ratios to try to get the ball start up sooner on the lane. Conversely, if we are facing shorter, drier conditions, we will likely pick higher totals and higher ratios to help get us down the lane more before hooking.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 23px; line-height: 35px;\">What&#8217;s next?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the next article, we&#8217;ll take a look at actually applying the system to specific bowlers for specific conditions.
