Question re: x hole on the Rico Layout
« on: January 17, 2008, 02:22:25 PM »
I had a total inferno drilled with the Rico layout...my driller did not drill the x hole on the ball, he said the side weight is 3/4 so its legal no need for the hole...my question is:

1. Is the x hole necessary to get the right reaction for this layout
   regardless of the side weight? (assuming it's 1oz or less side weight)
   
2.  or Is the x hole use only to make the ball legal.

The total inferno is a symetrical ball, the x hole was discuss further by rico only on the assymetrical ball.

I would appreciate everybody's help..specially Mr. Ric Hamlin..thank you.

Ric, sorry for the mis-spelling earlier. At least I admit it when I make a mistake and apologize for it, UNLIKE YOU..!!

There's no need for anything to get personall for here. I don't play those games and will never personally attack anyone. I may play with people/you in here if they're wrong and don't see it. But I don't get personal.

And, I don't care if someone has a big name in the industry or not, or just has a screen name. If what they say is correct and/or makes sense, I'm going to agree with them, unlike you.

You post your name and title in here to make people think that whatever you say is true, because you have a big name and title. That's a sign of weakness..!!

Not everything you say is correct. So when it's not, I just point it out, that's it. Nothing more. And when I do, you don't like it..!! You can't handle being wrong because when you ARE you don't apologize and/or go and hide..!! Case in point... http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=185280&ForumID=2&CategoryID=2

I don't go in your forums to stir the pot, unlike BrunsNick. I'm only here to help bowlers get better results, along with the correct information. Sorry if that's so bad of me. =:^D

A sincere thanks to Ric for taking the time to contribute information in a positive manner for all of us. On a personal note, he's answered several questions for me in the past regarding layouts for equipment. I never specified whether it was Brunswick equipment, and he never asked. Nick Smith has also helped me whenever I had a question.

I hope that the users of this website understand that quality information, for free, is a rare commodity today.

Ric, T-God, & JohnP, I really do appreciate you taking the time to answer questions regarding layouts, ball reaction, etc. I get the gist of all your answers/explanations & do thank you. I didn't mean to stir up any problems or hard feelings among any of you. Thanks again!
The ball I was referring to is a PK18 black raspberry & it is layed out at 45*, just no hole. I think I'll try a hole & if I don't like it, I'll just plug it!

Ric, we all make mistakes. But you my friend are unable to be a MAN and own up to it, apologize and move on..!! All you do is hide and lie to protect your holier than though status placed on yourself.

First of all, I spent the past week in Fountain Valley at this weeks PBA event, as I was last week in Medford and I will be this week in Vegas. So if I missed one of your posts, forgive me. I was not online much this week. (Or would you like to attempt to discredit that statement as well?)
All you and Brunsnick do is follow me around in these forums blasting everything I say with a bunch of lies from you guys, like you're doing tonight. Case in point once again...  You weren't too busy this week because you posted 4 hrs after me catching you "SPEWING FALSE INFO"  on the Avalanches in another thread

BrunsRicOH, excuse me, but am I missing something here..? http://www.ballreviews.com/reviews/reviews.asp?BallID=864&ManufacterID=2


Maybe you should do some research on your product line and learn up on it.
http://www.bowlingballreviews.com/ball.asp?ballid=279


Or maybe, you should try some of that Koolaid...I hear they've figured out a new formula for it and it's working pretty good..!! Richie's been tasting it, then tinkering with the ingredients and drinking it for a long time. He's been working long hours on it and has come up with the right formula now. The new Koolaid tastes Great and is Less Filling..!! You should try some. =:^D
Everytime you see me you can't go away, you want to keep arguing, you're always going to check to see what I say, just like tonight. Did I do a good job discrediting you..? It's very easy to do to you..!!

Now back to the fixed thingy...but first

Thirdly, the 'FIXED' comment is in regards to the post by 230-n-up-or-bust-please pay attention.
What's the deal Ric..? I'm not going to stop until you become a man and answer me correctly. Are we having fun yet..? What did you have to say "FIXED. :-)" for concerning 230's post..?

Please elaborate if you want to clear things up... =:^D

I'm sorry I have to do it, but if that's what it takes for someone to learn, then so be it. All I'm looking for is the right information and an honest answer. As you can see, I'm having a hard time getting it.

Please don't blame me for my tactics, I don't like having to resort to this stuff, don't like it and didn't want it to come to this. As you can see, I'm trying to be civil.

Ric...? =:^D

For somebody that's not getting personal, sure looks like you are to me.  T-God shut up already.  Take it to private messages.  You haven't said one constructive thing in this thread.  Find something better to do with your time, than following Ric around trying to find mistakes he might have made.

Lighten up Francis....

Oh just in case you think I'm "mad now by my tone of voice", yeah right....

Mike, please don't tell me what to do. You sound like my mother. I would recommend just sitting back and relaxing on this issue and see what transpires.

So as not to get personal in your <o>?<o> the person I'm dealing with has brought this upon himself. Do you want the truth to come out or are you affraid of it also..?

Like I stated earlier, I don't like having to do this, but I'm a truth seeker and this is what I'm forced into doing. Sorry, but don't blame me. =:^D

OUTSIDERS VIEW HERE:

230 said Ric has knowledge of "Brunswick" bowling equipment. Ric is clarifying, saying it's "all" bowling equipment.

That's the way I take it. I don't have much Big B equipment anymore, but Ric's helped me in years past with layouts/drilling questions, and the "Rico" drilling.

moon, the thing is, I know the truth. But, many people like to believe not. They'll keep lying and lying and before you know it, people start to believe the lies.

I need to undo this, and prove to you (the non believers) that I do know the truth.  When I do, everyone will benefit because then, you will get the correct information about the game of bowling, drilling and tech stuff.

Please be patient, the truth WILL come out..!! =:^D

To be honest with you, I probably wouldn't believe you if you were telling me the truth. I don't trust people who use the word God in their handle because I believe there's only one and your not it.

I probably wouldn't bother to try because with a name like moon, I'd tend to think you are too far out there for you to understand anyways..!!

How does that sound..? Is that the way you want me to be..? =:^D

bluerr, as soon as Ric finishes answering my questions, I will gladly give you the correct answer.
quote:
Secondly I responded to a faceless, nameless poster who questioned my post, my answer and my knowledge.
Here's Miss Holier Than Thou (he's not a man) trying to make others think that whatever he says is correct, because he's so and so who works for Brunswick.

He has said things in the last few days that are TOTALLY un-true/not correct. If I didn't pick up on his mistake, nobody would. So then you would be believing something that was incorrect. Is this what we should let happen..?

All I did was point out he was wrong and all he had to to is admit and appologize for the mistake (everyone makes mistakes from time to time) and move on. No problem right..?

Well he hasn't, then makes up lies to try and cover himself up and goes and hides. That's what you're getting from Brunswick employees..!! I expect and want better..!!

Now we'll see how long it takes for "him" (I don't want to get personal) to clear things up with us. =:^D
