I see really smooth ball reaction that lets me play small swing or strait up the boards with awesome carry. I have shooting lights out with my Swarm since I got it and a Track kinetic that i got which is almost a Rico drilling, just slightly altered, same shape in reaction though.
I think if you haven't tried it you should. I was real skeptical at first, but I now see myself using it on alot of other quipment in the future.

you rico'd a resurgence? and a Perfect Rival? Way to just defeat the purpose of a) getting these balls in the first place and b) using the rico drilling for its intended purpose.
Explain?
Rico on the Resurange is for heavy oil or when the lanes are hard for me to get anything else tracking to the pocket.
I.E. I’m speed dominate so I tend to over throw the ball. The Rico helps me get the ball to recover in the slick stuff.
Rico on the PR was something I wanted to try. Again, speed dominate, so I would throw this ball through the breakpoint if I didn’t have a drilling to get the ball to read further down the lane.
Anyway, works for me.

It was said that the individual used the layout on the wrong ball or defeated the purpose...I am not sure what this meant, but if I assume that the bowler used the layout on a skid flip type ball and this was wrong. When Parker won last year in NC, he used the layout on a Twisted Fury Pearl. I believe, if I remember correctly, that ball was designed and advertised as skid flip. It seemed to work there.
And at one time or another, I used this layout on every ball made by Brunswick, over the past 5 years or so and they are known as rollier type equipment, wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
Bowling balls and layouts enhance a bowler's attributes, as well as a ball's dynamics, no more no less.

Frankie's an idiot and a troll to boot, if you haven't seen his postings before. Just ignore him. He's probably one of those guys who thinks you have to drill an inherently skid/snap ball with a skid/snap layout (which just makes it TOO long and TOO snappy for 90% of conditions) and vise versa. You drill the ball to match the motion you want, working with the natural tendancies of the ball.

quote:In general, the Rico is not a weak drill. Think about it just from standard drilling standards. What is your PAP? If it's 5" over, this is a 5" pin to PAP layout with the pin extremely low for earlier roll but a slower overall response to friction (which results in a very rolly, constant arc), plus an x-hole that tends to increase flare. The closer your PAP is to grip center, the stronger the layout is.
I notice people say this smooths out the reaction, however my question is will this also weaken the ball slightly? I ask cause Im speed challenged and have trouble getting stuff weak enough. So my question is if I was to take say a jazz or similar ball(I hook a purple rhino pro from gutter out on a medium to medium heavy and a gravity shift on heavy) and put a rico on would it be smooth and weak enough to fit under when these balls start to get sloppy with the over/under or simply too dry?

With this layout, the ball is rather smooth but with a decent amount of arc.

Could this ball fall into the "modified rico" layout category I've heard a few people on this site talk about?

Modified Rico is a term to either describe the drilling, or enhance a used ball's value while selling. There's a few factors that go into a "true" rico drilling such as hole drilled 6 3/4, 45 degree, pin in center of grip, etc. Variations from those benchmark stats make every other drilling a modified rico drilling.
