Chainsaw Massacre Question
« on: June 20, 2009, 08:59:07 AM »
Has anyone here drilled up a Massacre using the Rico layout?

I have a well-used Doom that I want to retire and was hoping to find a ball in Lane 1's line to replace it.

Is the Massacre the ball? Or do I go grab an Evolution before they are gone?

havent drilled a rico ball, but i will say that the massacre is longer then the evo, like drillings they are at least 3 feet different in length with the massacre getting the nod on the back end too

I love the evo its turely a mid lane pearl, makes a strong move in the mids and continues.  the CM holds and holds and then kicks left.  Probably doenst help much but its all i go lol

Triggger, that sounds like the old Excaliber. (the first ones made before Columbia started making them and ruined them)

I did dill 2 AO RICO for my dad...  What a pain in the @ss..  LOL

Now my Dad does love love the AO's.  The first one was eatin' by the lanes so I had to drill him a second one.  He loves the ball and is his #1 ball, but it was very hard to avoid the Buzzbomb core issues.  RICO causes allot of Thumb weight so to get it out and avoid going negitive on the side is a real trick. LOL

Honestly I would avoid doing it on a Buzzbomb core'd ball, but I think the CSM might be a good canidate because the CSM seems to favor CG out layouts and RICO does put the CG out.  I may have to try it, but I just drilled another CSM this weekend so I'll have to see what this one does first..
