Drilling a bowling ball?

[PlazaOwner06]

I am a new owner of a center in Marion Indiana and I am learning everything about everything. I am not new to the business just running the business. Anyways I am learning how to drill bowling balls and I can't seem to find anyone to help me right now. I need to know (by hand) how to find the PAP and basically how to make the ball legal. I know my span and pitches and what I want the ball to do. I want to drill a hawg zilla with a 2 to 3 inch pin. Do I really need to know the PAP or can I just drill the ball exactly like the chart and go about it that way. What are the weights allowed to be legal also?

Do you have a scale?
Top weight and side weight can not exceed 1oz either way. Is what I have always been told.
