(apologies for cross-posting from the Brunswick forum -- too excited about Rico)

I just had my Brunswick BVP Wizard redrilled with the Rico layout.  The ball already had 2 drills on it and I wanted to try Rico.

I picked it up today and had a chance to bowl two games with it on beat up lanes with dry fronts and over/under conditions in the back.  First game shot 192 standing on 32 and throwing it out to 13. After the first two shots I threw 5 strikes in a row and then left a ringing 10.

Second game I wanted to see how versatile Rico can be.  With some slight hand adjustments it was no problem getting a forward roll on the ball.  Piped it straight up the 15 and watched it break right before the pocket.  I also played around with making right-side spares and I think with a little more practice I could make this ball go completely straight.  The ball is slightly polished and I think this could be one ball for THS -- including spares.

This is my first experiment with Rico and it was GREAT.  The ball was incredibly predictable, smooth, and did not jump (in strange ways) at the breakpoint.
