Rico drilling on RS-X
« on: August 30, 2005, 05:39:17 AM »
I need some help drilling this ball.  I want something different than I currently have in my aresnal and I'm thinking about drilling an RS-X that I have with the Rico drilling.  Would this drilling work in this ball?

I am RH, low-med revs, 15-16 mph typical ball speed, and looking for this ball to work on PBA patterns.  I have a good arsenal of balls drilled with standard layouts, want to do something different, either the Rico or another suggestion is fine.  The ball is 2.5"-3" pin with 2.54 top.  TIA!

My experience is that this type of layout works best for higher rev players as it gets the ball started up earlier and smooths out the backend reaction.  Might be useful if you need something to start up early, or to smooth out over/under...

Rico1 rules the world...

but only on Brunswick balls!

The rest of the world can call it pin-in-palm for the sake of humanity!

Yeah, I know (in general) what the drilling is.  My axis is 5" over and 1/2" up.  I was more curious if this is one of those drillings that tends to work much better on certain types of balls (like Brunswicks, since they tend to roll early) or if it works on most any weightblock.

I want something that is continuous in the back, but not flippy.  Good control, but with some punch on the end.  Hope this is possible!

I have an Absolute drilled pin 5" to pap and it is early with a strong continuous arc backend. Though the low RG tamed down the backend.

It's actually almost right below the ring finger maybe two inches. There's no weighthole. There's a pic in my profile if you'd care to see. Yeah, it is a low RG ball but that layout is a higher RG to get it to be more snappy.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas.  I will try to absorb all of this and figure something out!
