In my opinion, the Black Ice is as good as any other ball for a Rico drilling, if the ball and the drill are appropriate. In this case, because you say his ball always rolls out, even with the current high pin, which would NORMALLY help a ball not to roll out.

If he gets any more midlane, the ball will roll out sooner than it does now.

Yes, Rico will add earlier hook and more reaction in the midlane.

My guess is since the BI has such good and easy natural length built into it, I'd suggest 2 options: 1. add some polish to the ball OR sand it finer and then add polish, and, 2, Due to the roll out, he needs a lighter weight ball.

I think you need to prevent the roll out first, before anything else.

------
I'm wondering if "roll out" is what you really mean. It usually means total loss of energy and the ball is going end over end, completely.
OR
do you just mean the ball is going thru the hook cycle or skid/hook/roll?
