Default Anyone tried Rico drilling before?

Hi, just want to know if any of you tried it before? In case the term don't apply in Singapore, Rico drilling means drilling a ball the same way as you would normally drill it on your polyester ball, placing the pin in the middle of your grip. However in the high performance ball, the cg is kicked out 45 degrees from your PAP. The X-hole goes 6 3/4" from the PIN through the CG.

This would result in a high performance ball reacting in a controlled and predictable manner. You can say the ball has been 'tamed' by this kind of drilling. Many 'ang moh' bowlers in USA use it because of their strong release and high rev rate, which results in high performance ball hooking too much for them. I know not many in our local scene use it because we do not have the hand.

If any of you had tried before, how do you find it? I am asking this because I am thinking of drilling one of my high performance ball this way to use on dry/light oil condition. Currently I am throwing polyester on dry lane. Thinking of trying this drilling on a high performance ball, but need to gather more info first.
