Does the width and the depth of the weight hole in a rico drilling need to be adjusted if you attepmt to drill it on a plugged ball with no weight hole prior? Does the same go for a ball that did have a weight hole prior but further up the VAL?

Dude it all has to do with the weights of the ball after you drill it up. For the most part its almost impossible to know how much weight you are going to need to take out of a ball until you weigh it up. When i drilled my plugged Prime Time RICO, I needed to throw a hole size 7/8 2 inches deep. It all depends on the static weights.

Weight is not the primary reason for a hole with a rico layout. The point of the hole is to create asymmetry. Thats the point of the depth and size of the hole. There is a recommended undrilled top weight so that the hole required will still satisfy static legality.

As far as a plugged ball goes, it would be a good idea to find the new true cg.

True, but the weight hole also helps to raise the bowtie so the track won't flare into the finger holes. -- JohnP
