The Onslaught is advertised to give you a good "pop" on the back end and that's just what it does.  I'm getting a great entry angle into the pocket and carrying all kinds of hits ... slapper 10s, kick 4s, RipRacks, messengers.  What has really impressed me is the flush shots ... no solid 8s, 9s or even 4-9s.  It may be just a matter of time, but I don't think you'll see near the number of backrow pins with this ball ... the move to the pocket is aggressive yet controlled.  

The factory finished polished Versa-Tech L cover stock lets you easily get through the heads.  You should be able to use this ball as the heads break down, because the pearlized cover easily holds back the mid roll and saves energy for the break point. In fact, the out of box surface length surprised me initially and was skidding through the break point.  I almost went with the recommendation from the Pro Shop to wet sand the surface with 600 grit, but threw a couple more games to see if the reaction would change.  I'm glad we waited, because with each frame the Onslaught began picking up the breakpoint earlier and has settled into a great skid/roll/snap combination.  So, recommend you give it two or three games before you doctor the surface.  I'm sticking with the out of box condition and our house shot has a little more concentration of oil than the average shot with an out of bounds around 4 board and build up at the second arrow.  The Box condition still gets plenty of backend and the angle entry for carry is excellent.  
 
The shop laid out the ball for medium track players with a PAP less than 4 1/2 designed to create a sharp break point and max revs.  My PAP is 3 over and 1/4 down .... wound up with the Pin lined up under the bridge with 3 3/8 distance to PAP and required the standard weight hole.  My speed at the 43 foot mark averages 16 and I get medium revs.

I think the Onslaught provides one of the best moves to the pocket I've seen without giving up any control. Definitely excited about this ball's head clearance, mid-roll, recovery and backend entry angle .... its number one in my line-up.  My other options are the X-Factor, Cure, V-2 Particle, Voodoo and Aulby MVP.

You can learn a lot from a bowling pin

Just got the ball . Pin placement above fingers about half inch and inch right of middle finger (Im a right hander stroker). I usually average 215 to 218. Use the ball in heavy/medium  oil in league for classic singles (approx38 to 40 feet down). Ball slides nice through the heads and once it hits the dry backend, the angel of attack to the pocket is unbeleivable. This ball (in oil) will out hit, out right crush the pins and keep them low to deck. Whats nice about it , it blows the corners out...I have the WOW, the preditor.....The ONSLAUGHT out performs them all by a mile....Ball does need oil through the heads..Spare shooting is easy with this ball also....I kill the ball (strait and hard and have no problems). If you are looking for a BALL for OIL that carries and has a very angular entry to the pocket , THIS IS IT....This ball will open the pocket up AND CARRY...........

I have drilled three Onslaughts so far. One for a right-handed bowler with average revs and about 17Mph speed. I set it up in a leverage configuration for this bowler, and it outperforms everything I have ever punched up for him. His carry percentage has probably risen 20%. The guy averages about 175-180 and his first three sets with the Onslaught were better than 650. This ball has a ton of back end power. The second one I drilled was for a left-handed tweener. I stacked it with the pin under the ring finger. He had been having a lot of trouble getting a consistent ball reaction (but he was bowling with a Triton Elite that had never had anything done to it at all) After the first three games with this ball he has been all smiles. The Onslaught is really a great ball for medium to medium/heavy oil. The third one I drilled was for me. I am a right-handed tweener with back problems. I drilled it up because I had to drop to 14LB equipment for physical reasons, and I liked what I had seen. I set the ball up stacked with the pin slightly above the ring finger. Even an old broken down bowler like me is shooting over 600 every set again. Mo has a real winner with the Onslaught. It really carries the corners as well as anything I have ever bowled with. I can see absolutely no drop off in performance with the drop in weight from 15 to 14LBS. This ball will be a great addition to anyone's arsenal

I got this ball drilled over the weekend 5-1-04. After spending almost an hour with the driller trying to figuure what would work best for me and watching me bowl a bit we basically have drilled it stacked with the cg out just a tad and the mass bias below that. The Pin on these balls are huge. I swear its the size of a nickle. Because of the size most of my ring figure hole was drilled into the pin with just a quarter moon of the pin showing about the ring finger.

Tried the ball in the house where I practice and the same place the Pro Shop is located. The ball just went and went sliding. I soon realized this was a new ball glossy finish out of the box plus apparently there was much carry down which caused the ball not to hook much plus I am RH and  don't put a lot of rev's on the ball,medium speee, mainly rely on the wait of the ball to turn itself at the breakpoint.  

Later I took the ball home, cleaned it with simple green and Clean and Dull. a couple of hours later I was at the bowling ally where my leagues play. I went there for a Saturday nite sweepstakes bowling and they usually have fresh oil with dry backends. Not super oily but medium. I threw the ball and HOOK! I threw again and HOOK! I realized quickly the minute it hit the dry it would start turning, so I increased my speed a little to get it closer to the break point and bingo! slam leg-oski! Incredible loud pin action. I proceed to bowl well the rest of the evening until the middle of the second game and my knee/leg started to get weak and found that so distracting I could barely go through my release and it was all wrong at that point, but I must say I was really pleased with the hit and carry of this ball. I have been able to use it again twice since then in practice. Last nite I practiced with it and a new Triple XXX I had just bought. Its hit and carry I thought easily equal to the Triple X though obviously the Triple is a sound ball as well.

I am so glad I discovered the Mo Piniel core. I now have the Onslaught plus a 3D Offset Violet Pearl and a Hammer Truck. All have great carry.

There don't seem to be many reviews of the Onslaught so not sure how many own this ball but I think its as good a ball as any of my 3 Lane 1 balls and not as expensive. Acutally I think the carry is more generous with this ball which is important to me as a relatively new bowler and not the most accurate in my throw.(yet!)

This makes me curious about the other MoRich balls, I understand they will have a new ball out shortly but the Hercules and Pioneer look like good choices as well. I would say the Onslaught is a good all around ball for THS medium to medium light oil. get you some.

I drilled this one up for myself.  I laid with the pin 4 1/2 from my axis and the 5 3/8 inch  from my PAP.  The pin was above my VAL 2" inches.

With this layout I was trying to get more skid/flip.  I threw this ball on a fresh oil house shot.  The ball was clean through the front part of the lane with a smooth midlane roll and strong arcing reaction to the pocket.

On the fresh oil house shot I was not able to swing the ball a lot because there was too much head oil for the ball to recover from down the lane.  I was able to move outside and play in the dry area of the lane and get the ball down the lane and make a nice move to the pocket.

The Onslaught would be good on Medium to Lighter Oil shots.  With the proper layout this ball should be great in most bowlers hands on these type of shots.

When I first bought this ball I really wasn't sure what I wanted. I was looking for a reaction kinda like my S&A. I spoke to Wesley (StrikeZone Pro Shop) again and explained what I thought I was wanting this ball to do. He made a few phone calls and, told me that If I wanted something similar that I should go with the Ravage. (I wanted the same pin crushing power but, not as much overall hook) The Lay out would stack the pin, cg and mass bias. Unfortunately Wesley didn't have a 15lb. Ravage so I asked to have the onslaught to drilled the way he recommended. That brings me to where i am now. The onslaught has worked well since I've had it but, I haven't had many chances to throw it. It's okay cause summertime is practice time for the fall league. I'll have to mess with the surface a bit. Don't know wether I'll shine it or sand it fine or course. I'll update once I find something that works. Shot 235 out the box. Another A+ for Morich!!!

I purchased this ball in january of last year.  I had it drilled so that I could play down the lanes yet have enough of a backend to open the lanes up.  It was drilled origanially for med light to medium oil lanes.  BOY WAS THAT A WRONG CHOICE.  Ball loves to motor whereever there is a dry board.  I found that it has a tendency either overreact and sometimes not react at all. Price for having a pearlized ball.  Depend I guess on condition.
