Title: For those of you with experience with the Rico Layout
Post by: mw11x300 on October 10, 2007, 06:40:55 AM: I have read all the info on this layout and have used it for a customer on a Vendetta 44 Mag, which created a very nice smooth reaction. My question is, I'm looking to do the layout for myself and am considering some ball possibilities that would make most use of the layout. I am thinking a particle pearl symmetric ball, possibly a Black Pearl from Legends or a Double Agent from Storm. I'm really looking for the smoothest reaction possible any thoughts???

I agree! I have a solid resin drilled rico & it is finished to 1000 grit abralon. It gives me a very smooth controllable roll. For my style it is not great on anything heavier than med, med light condition. I did polish it once to see what kind of reaction I would get, & going thru oil into dry boards I got a little skid flip reaction. If you're looking for smooth, I would go with what JohnP said.

However, I have also seen just as good of results with pearlized reactives. I have a Zone Classic drilled like this and I am amazed of how strong and rolly it is for a pearl. Not a ball for a THS but it's a monster on sport type and PBA patterns.
