I was in a mood to drill a ball yesterday so I decided to try this Rico drilling that everyone seems to be raving about. Now what ball to use?
Well I was looking over the balls I had sitting here fully plugged and decided to use a well used (2x drilled and plugged but no plug in the current track area) Doom I had sitting here.
The Rico layout places the pin in the middle of the grip with the cg at 45* and the weighthole placed at 6-3/4" from pin thru cg correct???
Drilling provides predictability and smooth reaction...yes???
Well I am here to tell you all that this ball corners harder than anything in my bag. I mean it is ridiculously snappy.
Is it clean up front? yes
Is it VERY smooth in the midlane? yes
But that's where the smoothness and evenness end....when it turns the corner it TURNS THE CORNER!!! I tried it on a fresh pair of lanes as well as one with some bowling on them.
Did I do something wrong? Again I am new to this whole Rico thing....
Help?
On Edit: Ending weights for teh ball:
14-13 gross
3/16 finger
1/2 side
0 top/bottom
