I have not seen the XXcel!

BUT I have read the reviews!  Lots of movement on the lanes.

That is the one thing that stands out about the WMB.
It is not exciting to watch on the lanes in anyones hands I have seen like many other Morich balls!  What is exciting about the WMB is strictly the hit!

It is awesome.

As a friend of mine said today as 5 guys in a rolloff for an important top local league were using WMB's or a Shock and Awe!

Both of those balls make the Pocket look this big(hands apart about 18 inches!)

The Shock and Awe has a more exciting move as do all other Morich balls.

But the WMB, is all about the Hit BAby!

Agreed. WMB is versatile, without kicking sideways on the backend. It does seem to have great carry across a wide variety of releases and speeds. The one xxcel we have done had a much more pronounced backend. Carry was good did see a few stone 8,9's. I believe either ball is a great choice but is more dependant on what you are looking for in hook shape. I believe they might be a good tag-team depending on set-up. One going longer before flaring, one set-up for earlier roll when more head oil is present or when shot is fresh.

you dont have too look that hard, throwing an ebonite ball should be the main reason for the ball switch...j/k
