Justin, as I mentioned in my PM, the LE is punched per your recommendation. It currently sits at 1.5 oz side and is at OOB finish. This is the reaction I got on a 40 ft THS...4 shots per line on 3 different lines (results for each line were consistent):
Sliding 25, rolling over 16 at the arrows out to 12, the ball finished weak in the pocket (two 5 pins and two 5-7s).
Sliding 20, rolling 12 at the arrows out to 7, the ball also finished weak in the pocket (three 5 pins, and a strike with the 5-7 falling late).
Sliding 15, rolling 9 at the arrows out to 7, the ball finished flush in the pocket (3 strikes and a 9 pin).
The last line is close to what I shoot with my old equipment (straight up the 9 board).
So far the LE looks promising...where to go from here, partner?

How much is the ball flaring?
The tough thing is that many house shots are very soupy in the middle. With the low axis rotation you have, straighter angles are going to be your bread and butter. Getting any ball to do anything significant on the backend will be tough. The asymmetrical balls will come into play when you cant get a symmetrical to carry.

Honestly, I didn't pay much attention to that although a couple people watching who saw me using it came to look and commented on it flaring a lot.
I can live with playing straighter angles. I know my game has limitations. So, leave it at OOB finish? What do you recommend for getting rid of the side weight?

I would try it at 1k first. A hole is permanent, and with your specs this is going to be a delicate tweak.
If you see the same shape and a bit more hook at 1k, we will go P2 and leave it at 1k. If the surface adjustment burns too much energy resulting in less finish, we go back to 2k and use a P1 hole.

I can't tell ya how much I appreciate your patience and help.

One more question...
IF we need to go back to 2k, polish with PG?

Likewise, thanks for the patience as I keep sending you back to the pro shop with these small adjustments.
No polish at first, just 2k. If you want to start using it on lighter volumes, then polish it.

A month ago that would be a problem as the pro shop I was using was, let's say, less than knowledgeable. The pro shop I'm using now knows what they're doing and will go out of their way to help anyway they can.

Doing this sort of thing over the forum is a completely different animal then if you walked in the shop to visit. I'm glad you have a competent helpful shop working with you. It helps.
