In that case, if it were me, I would buy the original Hyroad, perhaps most popular ball ever for a reason, then after using it, decide what kind of second ball I wanted, more or less length etc. Never had the Hyroad, wish I had tried one while still at 14 lbs

My comment had less to do with the system used, and more to do with the philosophy of using layouts to change what a ball was intended to do. I wrote an article for BTM a couple of years ago entitled "Making the Case for Limited Layouts." The jist of the article is that with all the hundreds and hundreds of balls available today, that there is really no reason to use more than one or two layouts that are proven successful for you to try and make a ball do something other than what it was designed to do. The idea is that if you use one or two layouts and learn about core numbers, it's easy to make additions to your arsenal and change bowling balls mid-game, with a plan rather than to see what they are going to do. Once you start using different layouts to alter ball reactions, your ball changes and arsenal additions become a crap shoot. I know that a lot of bowlers disagree, but the philosophy that I have is shared by many professional bowlers including, most notably, Pete Weber.

I personally use 2 layouts on almost everything unless it's going to be condition specific and a Ball I may not throw a lot. I have one layout I like for asymmetric balls and one for symmetrical. My changes come in the form of balls and surface.
