Title: drilling
Post by: rico4life on February 08, 2009, 03:52:57 AM

i was wondering if anyone has tried a rico drilling on a lane#1 ball, if so what results did you get.

its like rico on other companies balls so if you have experence there you will have an idea what its like

on strong cover balls from L1 it gives a very nice controllable arc

it has nice recovery if you miss right, but not so forgiving if you miss inside imo

if i wan't a high tracker all my balls would probably be rico'd

I drilled my Cobalt Pearl Rico and it was very good.

It read the mids early but it also exploded on the backend.

Very uncharacteristic of a Rico drilling..

Haven't tries any others..

I've had 4-5 RICO Buzzsaws, but none of the bomb core balls.  Like Dawg said if you tried it on other balls expect the same type of results.  The main difference here is going to be the cover and it's influence on the reaction..

In the end you'll still get that smooth yet powerful control of RICO...

The inexplicable deal with Rico balls is that Rico drilled balls make snappy balls more snappy and rolly balls more rolly...

I can attest to this with my Doom. I rico'd the ball and it gets extreme length but OMG what a backend!!!!!

Now I did Rico a BuzzBomb and what i got was a ton of roll with very little backend.
