Subject says it all. What kinda reaction and im gonna get. This is my first Rico so any input would b apreciated. Not really goona with thats and stuff like that basically all i can tell you about my style is im a stroker with medium tilt, like 17 degress i think was measure, medium revs, and about 16 mph ball speed. Thanks

This drilling will not always cause the ball to roll early. Actually on the 2 balls i've drilled like this, my reactions have been the opposite, the balls rev'ed up quickly but still kept there length. My Punisher is still extremely long even with 2000Grit finish but it has a more controlled backend reaction. The Absolute on the other hand was clean through the front and mids and extremely angular on the backend.

One major thing I have noticed is people are not discussing their PAP. For me to get the similiar reaction out of Rico, I have to modify it by moving the pin up an inch and to the right 2 inches. So, if you don't want it to be a dud, what is your PAP first off?

Finally got it today and tried it out. First shot i bowled on was a 32 foot flat oil shot. With it having stripped backend everything was flying in the back. I had to swing the lane with my Sahahra. So took a break and got it punched up, boy was im impressed. Where everyone else had to play gutter or swing the lane i was able to play a simple 10 to 10 lines and with the smoother backend it eliminated some of the over uner i was getting. Later tried it on a house shot. Kids had bowled on it so i couldnt play a middle line liek i like to so i bumped straignt down 3 and had a great read without getting jumpy like everything else i own when  i try to play that far outside. Definatly am happy with this choice and i dont htink this is ognna be a dud like some people predicted.

Also gotta ask CG, are you someone else thats knows the big guy, or are you the big guy

Since rico is in the middle of the grip, often times it is rather far from one's pap, and on symmetric stuff like the smokin' a large pin to pap will increase length.  If worried about too early a read one can just move the pin up and increase length.  

The rico drill is in many ways a bit over used of a term.  Putting the pin in the cog will react very differently for alot of people dependent on one's pap.  Assuming that a typical pap is around 4" over and 0 up/down, rico will provide a fairly early rolling, med/high hook potential with good continuation.  To get the rico like ball motion with a different pap one should be able to move the pin right if they have a large distance over pap (assuming right handed), and if one's pap is less distance over the pin left.  

Although I have no real experience with the "rico drill" or 0" pin above mid drills, what I have here should be correct unless there is some factor that I'm overlooking.

Nick does seem to have a good ammount of experience with this drill and perhaps he can chime in on "the smokin' with rico" issue and also my assumption.
