From what I have heard from my drilling friends is that a P4 hole and 3 oz. of side weight the 3oz will effect ball motion much less.
Isn't the new rule of 3 ounces of side, and finger weight going to make balls hook too much?

I am not very technical when it comes to drill layouts, but from what I am understanding, balls will flare less without the weight holes. My next ball I plan on getting drilled per Aug 2020 specs to see how much of a difference it will make for my own game.

In the USBC's original ball motion study, they concluded that static weights had less of an effect on ball motion than the ambient temperature in the bowling alley. When weight holes are drilled they can greatly affect the static weights. Increasing the static weights to 3 oz. in combination with eliminating weight holes will make balls hook less, not more.
