Instead of getting rid of it, i figured it wouldn't hurt to try a different drilling. Right now its drilled strong, but it is too jumpy and inconsistent with my style of play. I was thinking of trying the rico drilling, since i've heard it will give the ball a very smooth and consistent reaction. What do you guys think?

Someone explained "RICO" before. I can not remember what it is. Please review. In my line of business that is a statute for getting gangsters for racketering.

That was me haha.

I know someone who drilled a Track Phoenix (never released) RICO and he said that the ball had some extreme continuation down the lanes and through the pins. I would go for it if I had the time and money to put into it right now.

basically a rico takes pressure off of your middle finger

RICO is with the pin in the palm. The Sarge Easter is if there is an injury to your ring finger. I have seen that two wondering what was going on. Then I read something about it, and it was made to relieve pressure and allow you to bowl with none, if little, discomfort in your injured finger.

Sarge Easter is also used as a way to get less revs on the ball ala Robert Smith. Go for the Rico and report back. Looks relatively to layout anyway.
