They also used to pour Storm''s lower lines: Tropical Storm and Fast and Furious. Not sure if they still do.

Elite? If not I didn't know they poured for anyone else. I didn't even know about Caffeine Sports.

Yes, that's the one I forgot. Thank you.

You might want to drop WRW Jr. a line. Ask him what he thinks about MoRich.

Russell,
To be perfectly honest, I'm kind of surprised at this reply from you. While I'm no special friend of MoRich balls, I've seen them roll and flip with the best of them.
In the recent past they've used very strong mass bias ball which required a good deal of expertise to drill properly. But most drillers if they call themselves such should be capable of analyzing a bowler's delivery and drilling them correctly.
The newest MoRich balls, Frenzy, Craze,and Mania, all have relatively weak mass bias becasuse, Mo says, the covers are now much stronger. Whatever. They're much easy to drill now.

The only one I didn't have much luck with was the Awesome Revs. The cover was a little to sensitive for me. OOB was a little strong and polish made the ball skid, skid, kinda snap. I didn't spend too much time altering the surface much more to give the ball a fair chance because I had too much stuff anyways and a team mate really liked it so I sold it to him.
I had any reaction I wanted with the ones listed. From roll, to skid snap. It was done with very little change in surface as well.
Mo is really smart when it comes to bowling balls and their dynamics and I think too many people get lost in all the information given when it comes to these bowling balls and drilling. Use your normal drill patterns like anything else and they roll great. I haven't tried the newer bowling balls like the mania and craze but to me they look to be more versatile and offer a little more skid snap that wasn't as available in some of the previous equipment.

The amount of money spent isn't worth the return. No one watches the sport on tv anymore. Thus the lack of money on the PBA tour and bowlers leaving the tour. It isn't profitable. You would be better off running commercials for your product on the telecast then sponsoring it. You would get more air time and cost a lot less.
You would get more views with making vids to post on your site and youtube then going the PBA route. Your better off getting the product into proshops hands through local staff and sponsoring college teams then the PBA.
As much as I use to love watching the PBA on tv this past season was really bad. They are desperate for anything, and in turn have very little to offer and it shows in the telecast.

You must be in the past cause the LevRG line is long gone Russel
check out the Frenzy Craze and Mania all have a new core designed to get down lane and move hard off the spot, all new covers also rumored to be modified versions of the C-System line covers. They are pretty cool and not rolly at all.

I wouldn't mind trying some newer Morich stuff. The only Morich I ever had was the N'sane, drilled it really strong like a 3 1/2x4x1. Threw 800ab+1500polish surface was a great ball, rolled well, awesome backend, then after about 30games the ball literally died. Cleaned it after every use and did surface prep every time before I used it. Tried everything, baking, sweating, resurfacing, nothing seemed to work. It literally went from moving 30 boards to barely moving 5. I'm not trying to bash Morich, maybe I just got a bad ball I don't know, but I wasn't the only one this happened to with this ball, I can name off about ten or 15 people that had the same problem. Then there's my buddy Dom who has an Awesome Flip with about 300games on it that still hooks like its brand new, so I don't know???
Gunnz I have about 75 games on my Craze and it still hooks like new it hasnt lost a bit

Morich occupies a small niche with its strong asymmetrical cores. But in the past years, esp. with the LlevRG ball line, I think they lost ground. One reason is that many major manufacturers closed the gap, so the balls lost their USP. And they became over-aggressive - I heard and hear many players complain about the strong LevRG cores being itchy, hard to control or just crap. I mean, the benefit of these cores is that you can tune the ball reaction very well for s pecial pupose and reaction shape. But you need a consistent game to exploit this, and a ball driller who knows how to handle this task (and balls). That's quite demanding, and bears lots of disappointment potential.
I suppose that this lead to a dead end, and the current balls have much more "harmless" core designs - but the brand has become IMO quite generic.
We'll see, but IMHO Morich is not in a good market position these days
But that does NOT mean that the balls are bad!
