 In the June 2010 issue of Bowling This Month, I was asked to be part of a roundtable discussion with Chris Barnes, Mike Shady and Susie Minshew.
Each of us responds to two specific questions sent-in from BTM readers (1) I never use tape in my thumbhole but other bowlers tell me that I should. I've noticed that some bowlers put tape in the front of their thumbholes, some put it in the back, and others use tape that goes directly on the thumb. What do you think is the best thing to do? (2) Most of my leagues or tournaments are on sport or PBA conditions. I find now that when I bowl on this wet/dry house shots that I have problems controlling my bowling ball. I feel that I'm more consistent and accurate than many other bowlers on that wall,but they seem to have more area than I do. What can I do to score better on these wet/dry conditions?

 The RICO layout is certainly creating a buzz. It has been used on Tour successfully this season including by Parker Bohn in his win in Spartanburg on the Viper pattern as well as in qualifying by Diandra Asbaty during her march to winning the Great Lakes Classic on the Cheetah pattern. Much discussion is appearing on the message boards, with various amounts of accuracy. So, with the goal of providing accurate information, I went directly to Ric Hamlin, the individual credited for the layout, to get details from him directly. Ric is the Consumer Products Specialist, for the Northwest region, Brunswick Bowling and Billiards. Here is an overview about the RICO layout including when to use the layout, how-to map the bowling ball, how-to alter the layout for a higher track player. I also provide a summary of how the layout was first used and why. This is intended to present a more accurate overview of the RICO for those who want to have a better insight into this useful layout. |
