There used to be a poster on here named BullRed. He would always talk about the smoothness of a "barbell" drilling.
I have two balls drilled barbell. One on a Scout Reactive pearl, and the other on a Raspberry Ninja RPM.
The Scout is about 2.5" pin. The Ninja is a 3" pin.
The Scout is the epitomy of a smooth rolling ball, regardless of conditions, it is just smooth.
The Ninja on the other hand is a little more dynamic. It's smooth but very strong at the pindeck. I mean it rolls smooth but hits like an explosion!
Also, if I come up the back of the ball, there is very little flare, but the hit still remains. If I come around the ball, whoooooo......nelly, the ball takes off and can be uncontrollable.
Now the difference between my balls and the one you mentioned, is, my pins are in my palm, with cg projected parallel to the right. I'm a righty.
Though BullRed called this a "barbell" drilling, it is probably just a modified Rico drilling in retrospect.
