As always... any questions, shoot me a line! I'll be glad to answer the Sarge grip question for the umpteenth time.

Interesting to see Nick using one on the ring finger though...never seen someone do that before, but it makes sense.

See a lot of low pins on some of those set ups, does the Sarge grip mandate that more? I am trying to understand more about the grip and its advantages and disavantages. what effect on revs does it have, and what effect does the low pin and very low weight hole have on these particular balls
In particular classics zone 3 what kind of reaction/condition do you use this ball for?

I'm just addicted to ball roll right now, the combination of the Sarge grip and the Rico1 layout gives me that. I still have to get on the BowlersMAP and see what my rev rate is like, but I'm certain it has dropped, along with my ball speed. The advantages so far have been an easier time reading the lanes when they are tougher. As a result, I've cashed in 4 of the last 6 PBA events which is a big deal to me. I'm competing, and soon enough, I will own my first title.
Disadvantages, none so far. No hand pain and plenty of whistles from the ladies. Chicks dig the dropped ring.

I was so confident in the 2 Classics and Absolutes that I didn't WANT to bring anything else.

And my other question is Why is the grip on ur middle finger pop up from the ball? Is it the vaccu grips, the fact that u got a 1/4 pitch away? or just the way u put the grips in?
Also, why on some of the balls do u put the pin in the middle of ur palm, what reaction you looking for from these?

CG never matters unless you're opting to change the statics in a way that will require an X Hole to tune the reaction.
The grip sticks out a bit because of the pitch, and because of the vacu install. The backs aren't glued, so when they stretch, they stick up a bit.
The RICO1 (pin in palm) layouts have been discussed, in fact in this very post there is a link to the topic. Check it out, lots of good info. Also, check here... http://www.brunswickinsiders.com/PBATour/PBATournaments/Indianapolis/featuredballindy.htm
