Positioning modifications to pin in palm layout
« on: January 17, 2008, 04:10:20 PM »
In general, what are the reaction modification options to the pin in palm (RICO or whatever you want to call the layout)?

Would moves closer/farther in relation to PAP strengthen/weaken the reaction?

What about moves on the vertical axis relative to reaction, NOT just to get it off the thumb. Change in breakpoint, strength?
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if lefty meant moving the pin and CG, or just moving the CG.

What about keeping the pin in the palm and moving the CG..? Does that change anything..? =:^D

I asked Ric the same thing and he told me that even people with the highest tracks can use a Rico as long as the rules are followed.

Put the pin in the middle of the grip and put the cg at 4:30 to the pin. The weighthole must then be drilled in the correct place. Not putting the weighthole where it is designed to be will result in the bowtie not being moved high enough and you may clip the holes.
