Drier mediums?
I would go with a medium/weak pearlized ball.

Storm Fast
Visionary Ogre Pearl or S.S Ogre

Im just going to ask....but what point is an early rolling layout on drier lanes? I understand making the ball bleed in the midlane but the Rico makes the ball bleed it all at the breakpoint.

Unless you're really high speed I see that combination creating TONS of flat 10s in your future.

Armswing: I think the RICO drill pattern is actually intended for lane conditions that have sport shot oil conditions or med-heavy to heavy oil. The idea being that the ball should go into an earlier roll and to give you a better read of the mid-lane. I think it works on both symmetrical & assymetrical balls and is usually best paired with a pearlized or polished coverstock. To get the lowdown on the RICO drilling, check out Joe Slowinski's website. He has a very good article about the RICO. The URL is www.bowlingknowledge.info

But it's not for drier mediums, peroid..

The rico balls I have all bleed out in the mids UNLESS ita a really weak reactive cover

yes but you cannot compare reactions on drills such as the "rico" layout.

yes it is a pin down drill which promotes mid lane reaction.

for me a rico drill would be slightly more then 5 1/2" pin to pap drill. what if someone tracks lower then me? it would be a much stronger drill (flare wise). and a different reaction then what I would see.
