Title: Terminator with Rico?
Post by: davholio on February 15, 2009, 02:55:48 AM
I have a Terminator and a Yeah Baby.  In their present drillings and with similar finishes, I find them to be close in reaction.  I figured that I might mess around with the Terminator drilling in anticipation of bowling in Nationals.  I was wondering if anyone has tried the Rico drilling on the Terminator, and if so, how did you like it?

Why not try a slight or a large surface adjustment first to differentiate them? It's easier to do and make several changes than redrilling, PLUS you can always redrill it.

I have changed the surface. I think I may just look at a solid instead of a pearl.  My issue is conditions like Nationals.  I have tried taking it down to 600 but it doesn't seem to quite get me there.  My two "oil" balls both being pearls doesn't help me either.  I am a little much on speed and not enough on revs.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Neither the Term nor the YB are pearls as far as I know.

The Rico will make it hook earlier and more. It can be 1/2 step/notch to a whole step stronger in oil. Very surprised than sanding it 600 grit didn't help. You must have a lot of ball speed.

My bad...I must have misread some of the stuff I was looking at the last few weeks.
