nice to bowl but a lot of stress on the ring finger cos its the conventional grip and u know w/o the rubber inserts its painful esp when we have been using inserts for so long
as for rico..i tried it b4....the ball driller must know where to place the mass bias cos i tried on 2 balls...1 worked extremely well,the other did not cos i tried it for experimenting purposes 2 years back....
nvr stuck to it anyways cos i rather have high rev rate than to cut down on the rev rate (anyways as a bowler,he/she sud be versatile enuff to know how to be versatile in releases)..if i need to drill the ball weak,i might as well use an entry level or mid range ball better,imagine buying a ferarri and only driving it 50kph all the time,waste of money and spoil the car....
if u know the formula for creating rev rate,u would know that bigger hands are able to generate more rev...thats why each bowler must develop a style of bowling suitable for their physique to realise the full potential of their bowling..... | |

Pyro, thanks for sharing your experience. But I need to know more detail. The ball you drilled rico that works extremely well, what do you mean by that? Less jumpy off dry? Rev rate reduced even if you tried to hit it? Very smooth and arcing shape hook? Earlier or later hook? What kind of lane condition? What ball? For example the radical inferno, which as you know normally with a pin out / cg out drilling it's a skid-snap ball. How would it react if I drill it rico?
I need to know all this details because I have quite a few balls that overlap each other in performance. As such I am thinking instead of having two or three balls for the same condition, I am considering drilling one with rico to weaken the reaction. Also I do not have a dry / light oil ball. I am using polyester for this type of condition and is not very happy with the carry. Yes, I agree with the ferarri metaphor. But my reason for wanting to try the rico is as stated. Need to gather more info first before I jump into it.
PS: Good luck for the masters!
