Why no love for Morich?
« on: September 07, 2009, 08:54:48 AM »
From my wandering around this site, it doesn't seem that Morich is that popular. Around my house, tournaments, and even the PBA I don't see them often. I drilled up a LevRG a few months ago, and I have been nothing but impressed. The ball is an absolute animal on the lanes and even opened up the shark pattern when nothing of mine wanted to turn. I think it's Mo's cores that makes them so different because they gives me a look I've never had with any other ball in my 9 years of bowling. So I'm just wondering who on here has had the same success with them because, frankly, I'm sold on Morich. I'm in the process of drilling up a Sahara, Seek & Destroy, and Awesome Finish. I'm excited to see how they will turn out.

I know of only 4 people who throw Morich in my league of 24 teams X 5 men....  Mostly Storm, then Bruns, then Hammers/ebonite/Columbia.

I guess I just got lucky with my first LevRg because I've since drilled up an Awesome Finish, Ntense, Solid LevRg that all have been disappointing. Even with the same layout as my LevRG that I know works fantastic, they don't react much at all. Don't seem to flare and never lose their side roll which is weird. I finally believe they are THAT drill sensitive to make them work for you. If you get one to matchup perfectly, it is a great piece and quite a different look on the lane than most companies could offer. But it is difficult to find that perfect drill everytime.

So far, I've really loved the LevRG. Sahara is alright, less sensitive to release changes. The Solid LevRG moves consistently at least which is more than I get out of the Ntense. I will definitely play with the Ntense to get it to work because it does have some potential I believe. But I miss the days of slapping any old drill on a ball and having it work great. Mo's pieces, unfortunately, are not too accomodating with that mindset.

Why would you buy LevRG after you bought WMB that you didnt like? You know the LevRG is going to hook more earlier than the WMB yet you buy it? Why not try the Nsane or Ntense or Solid?

I had a ton of the old Mo stuff with the vanguard cores.. I loved all of those pieces. Then I tried the Insane Levrg, Levrg, and Solid Levrg, and I didn't do well with any of those balls, so I went over to hammer. I recently decided to give the Frenzy a try, and I am in love with it. The ball is just as consistent as any ball I have ever owned, and has a ton of pop in it. I ended up putting polish on it to make it more usuable for an entire series. I am now looking at the Craze as it seems to give a little more length then the Fenzy. In short it is just like any other stuff out there, in that it works for some and not for others. You need to have someone who knows how to really drill to get the most out of Mo's equipment. Just because a guy has a hospital that doesn't make him a doctor!

Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag...
a Frenzy, Siege, a Wild Thing, and a Python Snake.. how can I loose....

Yes, you better have a sound game and a driller who knows his trade. I think the "problem" with Morich is just that almost all of the latest balls except for the new Craze and Frenzy had such touchy cores. If there is juts one in the line-up, the problems will certainly not be as severe. But I think with the LevRg core family, the concept was just taken to the extreme and on a basis that is too broad to tend to a suffciently large target group. The newer cores sound much more "harmless" and driller- and user-friendly.

I love the vanguard core stuff, I just shot 916 over 4 (699 over 3) using nothing but an Awesome Revs (dulled to 500) and an Awesome Flip (box), both drilled the same. Those two are two of the best balls I've ever owned. Never threw an EZ Rev core ball but I don't doubt that these balls are more drill sensitive than others.

I've always loved Brunswick coverstocks but their cores are sometimes spotty for me. MoRich cores give me that powerful look to open up a lane that I love.

the only morich ball i had was an awesome hook. and that perfectly describes that ball to a "t". this ball had no quit. i used it 4,000 abralon and highly polished in league on a house shot and it outhooked dull balls. i used it smoothsanded and dull in pba regional tournaments and it gave me hook when my other equipment didn't. this equipment is very, very underrated.

Because they suck, that's why.  Also, any company with a reference to the name "rich" which is too close to the spelling of the grand poobah of Sawdonks, is a little sketchy in my book.  There you go, you're welcome.


Because people like Sleepy worry to much about the name of a company than what the equipment does. Or he is not a good enough bowler to get the stuff to work for him, and thus it is the companies fault for his shortcomings...pardon the pun.

I love there stuff. Matches up well with me, and I will most likely tomorrow drill up a NTENSE to go along with my Seek and Destroy, LEVRg, and Mojave.

Shock and Awe was the best ball I have ever thrown.... however I think Mo's latest stuff is what has gotten him the bad rap.

Mojave and N'tense are far end spectrum balls and I love them the most of the EZ Rev core line... My key has been to find the right drill pattern that matches my style and now that dual angle/gradient balance hole has surfaced it's really easy to map your favorite ball motions. I drilled a few "too strong" (A Hook, LevRg and first N'tense) and they were turds in my hands... sold them to guys with higher speed/lower revs and they whack'em... live and learn. My second N'tense is best oil ball ever...

I just drilled up an Ntense last week. Thumb is messed up but from what I saw, the ball is very strong in the midlane. Carry was very good even when I was throwing it slower and less revs due to the bad fit. Once I get that all fixed, I'm looking forward to that reaction.

I still think the LevRG matches up the best with me. I just can't ask for ball that rolls better than it does. I may be drilling up a Ravage soon so we'll see how the old school MoRich works out.
