Are rico drillings just for asymetrical balls?
« on: October 13, 2005, 02:21:45 AM »
The question is as simple as that. Does this layout only work on asymetrical stuff? I loved the shot shape and controllability that gave my Zone Classic. I am looking for a similar reaction out of my Hammer Hi-Rev and was wondering if that could be used as effectively on it. What do you all think?

I've used it on a few of my own bowling balls and customers and the results are similar with a symmetric ball.

First designed by Brunswick with their symmetric balls in mind.

Now see Super Symmetric post in MoRich.

Are you kidding, Gene?
Before they started posting the Rico on asymmetrics, I had only seen them on symmetric cored balls.

It's just another drilling option!

It acts more like a control drilling on an asymmetric core BECAUSE the placement of the MB has a much more significant effect on an asymmetric than the placement of the CG/MB has on a symmetric cored ball.
