Another RICO question!
« on: February 25, 2008, 03:54:06 AM »
When using a RICO layout on an asym ball, does the 45 degree angle apply to the CG or the MB (given they are NOT inline)?

I would assume it would apply to the MB, but correct me if I'm wrong. =:^D

The article does not say anything about a ball that has the cg offset. Still, I used the MB for the angle, and drilled the weight hole through the MB. Worked out well, and I am happy with the ball reaction.

quote:
On asymmetrical core balls, you lay it out, pin and PSA/mass bias at 45 degrees. The CG ends up where ever. At this point you have 2 options with the weight hole. One is to drill the weight hole, from the center of the grip through the CG on the VAL. This will have the least amount of effect, as on higher asymmetry balls, weight hole are less effective. If you want to increase the asymmetry, place the weight hole in the PSA. This will increase the overall reaction of the ball.


I don't mean to beat a dead horse here, as I just drilled a ball with this layout for a friend of mine.  He is a high track, high rev, low speed player.  I drilled him a strong assymetrical ball, and in the end, the thumb and side weight finished up at just under 1 oz.  I didn't drill the X-hole, because I wanted him to try it like it was.  The ball is still very strong for him.  

So in response to the answer above, if I did drill out the MB, then I would probably increase the flare or overall reaction of the ball, or would I further smooth out the reaction?

Effective.  Unless, of course, the ball is too sad to react properly.
