Title: 278 outta the gate.....................
Post by: Fatboy8 on December 22, 2008, 02:43:11 PM
I went with a Rico drilling on my Emerald Vibe, and man I'm glad I did. Shot 278 right of the bench in my Monday night league. Missed a ton of spares in the 2nd and 3rd games, ended with 704. Blew what coulda been a great set.

Excellent ball, and this drilling gets me exactly what I wanted. Nice, smooth, even roll, and no over reation on the backend. Awesome.

Brian,

Nice shooting, too bad about the missed spares. They will get you all the time. I am thinking of getting one for lighter oil/ broken down house shot. What are your thoughts? Good ball for that type shot?

Happy Holidays,

fabes

Hey Fabes!

I think it would be great for a lighter oil/broken down shot. Especially with the Rico layout. As the shot breaks down all night, I really don't have to move much if any at all.

It's just such a control ball with that layout, and not jumpy. I'd give it a try.
