Here they are drilled up.
65x30@5.5, I drilled this the same as my favorite SX1. When the SX1 is too much I wanted a step down, this fits the bill very nicely.


70x75@4.5, I decided to try something a bit different with this one, a low and kicked out pattern with a hole. I very rarely put holes in balls, this one got one. I compare it to my second favorite SX1 that is similarly laid out minus the hole and a few different degrees.

Hi guys, I learning a little about layouts & drilling, but what is 20 over 9 mean?????? Also, where can I get the specs on the " Reco" layout??? I'm a right hander, 14.5-16mph, stroker..do not know what my rev's are( is there a way to figure them out???), & want to drill the RX1 with the pin above my ring finger hole & CG stacked below finger hole..saw this at the PBA Senior @ Mooresville in May. Would a 3-4 or 4-5" pin work better????
Thanks..keep the pics & video coming..it's the only way me & my ball driller can figure out some drill patterns..thanks

Just an indication of where on the lane I'm standing in order to help further illustrate the difference between the balls.seniorstroker wrote: where can I get the specs on the " Reco" layout??? The Rico layout is quite simple. Pin is in the center of grip, CG is at 45 degrees in the thumb positive quadrant with a weighthole 6.75" from the pin thru the CG.

Place a line of tape from your PAP to finger hole, video it, replay in slo mo/frame by frame and count. Higher frame rate cameras are better, some are adjustable.seniorstroker wrote: want to drill the RX1 with the pin above my ring finger hole & CG stacked below finger hole.

Hi Justin, thanks for the comments.. I have never heard the term over down here in NC..haha...we normally say 20 to 10..but it does make sense after an explaination..I'm going to use the RX1 on burnt-up, dry, or short oil..playing 10 & out..if the lanes are really bad I move left & play straight up 10with a lot of speed..not my fav shot..too lod to throw it that hard..sorry about the spelling on the Rico..my span is 4 3/4 ring & 4 11/16 middle..my thumb is 1/8 under/ toward palm..everybody says it different..& 0 lt.. also, LOVE the Vise IT, same feel everytime I change balls..makes a big diff, normally takes a frame or two after changing..now 0 or 1 balls, I'm back in the saddle..ps nice video's..

With a longer span and using the Vise-It, I'd say a 4" pin. You can keep the statics balanced a bit more with a longer pin while keeping the pin above the fingers. After drilling it you may consider a small P3 hole to smooth it a tick on the drier stuff if you find it erratic, or have trouble carrying.

I would assume, not being affiliated with those companies I can't say for sure.

Just got my RX1 drilled last night.
Justin, I liked how your 65x30@5.5 ball rolled in your video, so I went with the same layout. (my first ball with a dual angle layout) I will get to try it out this Thursday.

That layout clears the fronts very nicely with a bit of pop for carry. It is geared toward higher rev rates, but if you are rev/speed balanced you should have fine results.
