Ummm I can see what hes getting at, not so much the hit, but the way the pins go with Mo's stuff, a big reason I no longer use it. I left so many back row pins with the newer Mo balls that I quit using them. I would say that yes the Avalanche will be a nice house ball, it does smack the pins up pretty good, but nothing funky like the strait in to the pit ( leaving the 9 a LOT for me) Mo reactions.
