Well, with the shape of that weight block, short pin to pap work well for me. On a fresh ths I tend to get too much bounce off the dry. I realized that every ball I had with the pin close to my pap (Predator, TNT, Money) rolled really well for me, but I didn't have one in my bag. Same way with the Sure Thing. I really wanted to emphasize the nature of the ball, so why not Rico?
