Just get away from those "league bowlers" drilling and your problems will be solved. Work with your driller to match the balls/layouts to your needs for tournaments.

The RICO is best used on more challenging patterns, longer and flatter.  Ric Hamlin makes it clear that this layout has bailed-out many pro staffers on patterns such as the Masters and US Open. It is best for those who are speed dominant or have a lower rev rate.  Specifically, the layout will get the ball to react sooner on the lane.  These type of players tend to get too much length on these type of patterns.   In addition, this is a good layout for players with a higher rev rate.  For this type of player, the layout helps the ball to react sooner and smooth-out over/under ball reactions. Ric recommends that all tournament players have a ball with this layout in their bowling bag.  It is very good to help bowlers get through transitions into the pattern breakdown. I tend to use the layout, as I mentioned above, on tougher patterns,”
