In my experience, the Rico is best performed on a Symmetrical cored balls, it can be done on a Asymmetrical cored NV but this ball is already strong, the Rico would only make it stronger early and make it quit before the Break-point for most!

Seahawks Fan! I don't hate other NFL teams, just their Fan's!
I just put the Rico on a ball for the first time, on a Zone Classic. It's nothing if not continuous ... so far.

I have three balls drill RICO, Brunswick Sidewinder (polished w/finesse-it), Storm Fear Factor (OOB), Ebonite Overtime (4000 abralon + renew-it polish and control-it polish).
All three give me a different look more so because of the coverstocks. Storm fear Factor extra hole is 5" from grip center not 6 and 3/4, following www.brunsnick.com instructions. On a assym core you do not want to drill into the MB. In a symm core you drill 6 and 3/4 away from grip center at 45* to add assym to the core. According to Ric Hamlin you need the weight hole to get the reaction even if the ball is within compliance.
For my game (power weener, high axis rotation, 15-17.5 mph) it gives me a very controlled look off the break point. I drilled these up to compliment the other balls in my arsenal. The sidewinder being my bench mark ball, and adjusting from there.
I really like this drilling and have been going away from the pin over fingers drill because of the over/under reactions that they give ME. By dropping the pin position, the control off the breakpoint is much easier to read.
when looking at different drill, look at your current equipment, if you want more control off the break point, then try RICO, just pick the right ball for what you want it to do.
Hope that helps!

Friend of mine did a Total NV Rico. Very strong roll with it. His ball speed keeps it from ever quitting with the amount of revs he has. It's not for every shot but a good ball to have still.

I threw my NVS rico this morning after league. I shot 234 with it. Ball is very smooth. seems to have forgiveness too. Almost as if you would just leave a 9 or 8 count if you missed your shot... I'm going to actually try to throw it tomorrow night and see how it goes through an entire series.
