Title: Rico1
Post by: bigearv14 on March 21, 2006, 11:44:43 PM: I know what this pattern should do, but I'd rather ask someone who has thrown it before. I was thinking of putting it on my Punisher and was wondering what kind of reaction I would get out of it.

The Rico1 really does amplify the ball's natural look.

I'm thinking pin over ring or bridge, but have never thrown Rico.

Also, specs are 2" pin and TW is 3.0.

Thanks

2' pin not going to be very long and hard see if u can get 4 -5 pin and 3.5 top better for long and hard

Post by: Strapper_Squared on March 23, 2006, 03:20:35 PM: Rico1 = pin in center of grip and cg at 45degrees with wt hole 6 3/4" from pin through cg (for symmetric core balls)

If you are looking for length, then you need the pin above the fingers. Rico1 is an early rolling layout due to the pin being located on the midline.
