You're right, when he started using sarge easter, EVERYONE wanted to use sarge easter. People still ask about it because of him and robert smith, they are probably the 2 single reasons people have even heard of it.

Sean, we aren't talking about you...There were tweeners and strokers on here who wanted to use sarge just because they saw that nick used it. I don't think stanski or I have problems with you, or others who SHOULD use it. I don't think you use sarge or rico simply because you saw someone use it, right? I'm sure you actually thought about what would be best for you, which turns out to be sarge. And rico is good for high rev players trying to control their ball. My point is, there are very few players on here like nick or you, but EVERYONE wants to have a sarge easter ball drilled rico1 now even if it's completely wrong for them.

Exactly, that was my point, that the drill is only good for certain players and is just one of many in a series of drills out there that give specific ball reactions. Strokers with inverted full roller tracks should not be using this drilling!

My buddy had a ball drilled like this a long time ago...it was a Power Torq!!!! He called the drilling "pin weight" since it put the pin in grip center and teh cg between the pin and PAP.
The ball was very smooth and arcy for him.
How about it bluedothooks? Any input???

A lot of people used this layout in the Columbia Power Torque...I did and it rolled really awesome. I am glad that people like this layout and it is good for people that want to know have the knowledge to understand what this layout is about.

You guys are taking this so personally and I have no idea why. YOu can defend it all you want, but stanski is right, there is no need for there to be every other thread about "will rico1 work on ball -----".....It's a bit much. You guys don't realize, we don't have ANYTHING against rico1, we just are tired of the fact it is talked about constantly, and everyone who shouldn't be using it wants to try it on everything they have. If you looked from a completely outside perspective, you would think that this is the biggest breakthrough in bowling in the last 10 years (no exaggeration).

Wow, you guys COMPLETELY missed the point....The point is, this drill is NOTHING special that there should be more topics asking about this than ANYTHING else....The concept of putting the pin in palm is NOTHIGN new at all, so don't give me that crap. The only difference rico makes is putting a weighthole, whoopdedoo...That isn't worth literally 6 or 7 threads per day about it.
It may not be anything new to you but I've only recently read about it on this site. I prefer to ask my questions in PM though.
I'll never understand why people feel the need to b!tch and whine about threads when all you have to do is NOT CLICK ON THEM. Simple enough.

But mainly, the thing that annoys me is that it's just a fad. Someone used it, now EVERYONE wants to use it, even if they shouldn't. Just like sarge easter a little while ago, that was the greatest thing ever.

Can you just imagine someone going into a proshop, having no drilling knowledge, and saying "I want this ball with the pin in the grip center, cg at 45 degrees and weighthole 6 3/4 inches through the cg" and then the poor pro shop operator telling them that there is no need to use this drilling on the cake shot they are bowling on? I understand some of the more frequent users asking about this layout, but we have people on here who couldn't tell the difference if a pin was axis drilled or over the ring finger because they are so inconsistent (I.e. profile averages in the 160's, new bowlers) asking about this drilling.
Its true, I can just skip over the thread, but I find it annoying when I go into any forum and the first 6 threads every day are "will rico work" or "what about rico."

No matter what the layout, someone will come on here and say, 'Ya know back in the day, I used that layout on a Black Beauty and my God it picked up the midlane. And then some genius put a weighthole in it and called his own-F**K'.
You guys want a rant, I'VE HAD SUGAR and Nick has seen that before it's UGLY.
It's one thing to have a layout named after you, it's another to know when to use it and how. Knowledge can be dangerous in the wrong hands or hand (get it-hand).
Everyone has there opinion, that is fine. If you don't like something in this section, go somewhere else. But I think it is hypocritical when you make posts in a forum that you don't even use that equipment.
If you don't like something, ignore it. I do it all the time. It's called LIFE.

But nobody ever explained to me what rico is. Is it when you have the ring finger dropped so as to give more forward roll and less hook for high rpm players? Would it go well with the sarge easter drilling, you know, the pin in palm one with the cg in the thumb postitive quadrant to induce a weighthole 6 3/4 inches from the pin?
