A little rumor.
« on: September 21, 2005, 06:36:25 PM »
Talking with the distibutors today, I heard Morich has  the Third biggest share of the high end market behind Storm and Brunswick. I heard Mo sells more high performance balls than Ebonite and Hammer combine. I guess that smoke and mirror show is working.

That's nothing. They get those kind of scores every month where I bowl with the Legends/Lanemasters balls. Mostly the NS and Yeah Baby.

Let's see in my mixed league there is only four guys averaging over 220.  Three of these guys use morich equipment, myself included.  One uses a Ravage, one uses well everything but he throws the ball up ten anyways, and I use a total shock and awe and a shock and awe.  Morich balls flat out hit. Period.  Then again I'm a morich and a storm guy, a lot of people use columbia at our house....ewww...

I throw an Onslaught, and still get people asking me what ball it is from time to time (a lot of people think it's a Slay/R or Quantum). I got it, cause it sat in the pro shop I worked in, and they dropped the price to $100. I figured I couldn't pass it up for that (got the same type of deal again...$99 for my OPTYX Illusion), so I bought it. I LOVE this ball, and would get another MO ball, but don't need one right now. A lot of people used the Pioneer back in the day (was the biggest seller in the pro shop to date if I'm not mistaken...besides plastic), but nothing else really sold. Till I got my buddy to try it out. He just moved up from youth, and dropped to 14#, so he got a TA and a Sahara. Everyone was impressed by how much better his stuff hit and rolled (seeing as he just turned 18, and everyone knew he dropped a pound). TA started selling like hot cakes outta the shop. now there's also plenty of WMB on the lanes too.

I live in Las Vegas hardly anyone using Morich out here, alittle bit at Sams Town because they actually sell a couple of them a year. Lane 1 is much bigger out this way but does not touch Big B, Ebonite, HAmmer, Columbia and Storm. Almost every shop is either Storm VIP or Ebonite/Hammer program shops, alot of it has too with Steve K at storm is from Vegas and Dave Wodka lives heres and is great rep for Ebonite/Hammer.

 Big casino corporations control what brands are being sold, they own them and make the ball companies cut them better deals on rebates and promotions. Most shops stock multiple brands but really want to push they biggest profit company on you with whole walls of that brand only and other brands are all stuff together on a wall by themselves or worse the floor.

 Cal bowling is forced to cut these guys better deals also just to keep there business, so the big casino properties will buy from them and not just go direct more than they already do out here.

Here in central Missouri I'm the only person that I know of throwing MoRich. I'm a lefty and yes I do have the Ravage, S&A, and WMB.

here in the home of lane #1 (syracuse) i see a ton of the aforementioned but am starting to see more morich (especially the t.s.a.) being thrown. i think the fact that they are represented at more pro shops here has a lot to do with it. up until recently i had never seen any circle, lane masters, or visionary on pro shop shelves so only ball whores (like myself admittedly) want to try the smaller unproven companies. but i am bias now as well since trying morich i like them better than my previous favorite storm. realistically at the level of bowling i am at (rank amateur) learning how to shoot the ball better is probably still the most important thing to me. ain't gonna stop me from buying new balls however

SE VA here.  And, as expected, Morich is everywhere.  Had a WOMB drilled control, loved it, stopped hooking, baked it, big mistake.

Tried the Forward Roll drilling in the SAA, hated it.  Hit like a creampuff.  Darted and given to a fellow lefty who proceed to bowl 295 (greek chruch) the week after he bought it from me.  What I notice is people that don't turn the ball like Mo's equipment more than guys that strap it.

There's an old Onslaught rolling around in my local proshop that's about to have my name on it.

For some reason, I like the Big B just as much as Morich.

As long as they are cheap and round.
