A Rev Leverage type drilling with the pin farther away from the PAP that the brunswick guys have been raving over.

It's where you put the pin in the palm, and a weighthole in the thumb positive quadrant.

Nick made a video with 3 balls, all rico.  Even with his rev rate, they were all still smooth.  I think he had an AI, Zone classic and something else drilled rico.

There's a reason why Brunswick is so popular!

I think he's slowly putting it on all of his stuff.  He posted a link to pics of his arsenal, and most everything was rico1.

I found the link to the rico1 video.  Notice how even with his rev rate, everything remains pretty controlled.

I also found that I can open up the lanes again when they get tighter in later days of tournaments with the Rico1.

Yep! Got a lot of stuff with this layout, it has been pretty sweet!

And I thought only us low-track, below-average-hand players use this lay-out!

What's so funny about that?  30 years ago they didn't have any reason to drill them any other way.

Were people *really* putting the XH in the thumb-positive quadrant 30 years ago?  If so, I sure don't remember it.
