MoRich Shock & Awe -vs.- Storm Paradigm
« on: January 10, 2006, 01:22:42 PM »
Given a similar drilling, how do these balls compare? Which one handles more oil? Versatility? What about potential for angularity? Control?

I just got ahold of a NIB Paradigm today (see profile for drilling) and I ordered a Shock & Awe as well... I'm wondering if there will be any overlap here before I decide on the drilling for my S&A. Thanks in advance!!!

I've got a Paradigm coming soon, and I'll give you a comparison.

I would have to say that the Storm would be a little more angular on the back end.  The Storm would probably be a little more 'flippy' and the Morich a little more 'rollie.

ttt

I still need more feedback before I decide if I'm going to pick up the S&A or not... seems like some overlap?

I had them both. I still use the paradigm.  The TSA hooked at my feet and hit flat.  Burned up too quick.  The paradigm has much more length and saves more for the backend.  The lanes were fresh house condition.  Paradigm was drilled label leverage and the TSA was drilled according to the drill sheet for low tracks for length and backend.  Put some polish on the TSA, it was better but still not as strong as the paradigm.   My opinion, go with the paradigm unless you bowl in a flood.

Might just be me, but all Morich products seem to burn up early for me.  Probably need much weaker layouts.  I tend to think that the cores in the Morich balls are too strong for the converstocks, just my opinion.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE DRILL.  The S&A will outhook the Paradigm if drilled right.  Hell, it will outhook MANY balls if drilled properly.

You were talking about the Total shock and awe correct? We are discussing the Shock and Awe.

Stan,

Slight faux pas.He did not say the Total Shock and Awe, but the SHock and Awe, a totally different ball.

That said, I agree that oftimes the MoRich cores are far too strong for strong coverstocks, like the 400 grit sanded C4 of the Total Annhilation and the Activator+ used on the "plain" S&A. 400 grit on any ball these days is absolutely ludicrous, bizarre in the extreme, and ill advised.

I have to agree with Charles on this one... 400 grit with such a strong coverstock and strong core is just stupid. Very few conditions would warrant such a ball...

Having said that... Let's get back to the ORIGINAL question!!!!!

How does the ORIGINAL S&A (NOT TS&A) compare to the ORIGINAL Paradigm (NOT the PASSION)??????

LOL, thanks!

my opinion on both these balls, since i had both, is the Pardigm has a little stronger and durable coverstock, lasts longer.  The S&A and even tS&A all burn up to quickly and require extremely high maintenance, I am always hitting the morich balls with the Storm red (380 or 340 grit i think) pad every other week, whereas I only hit the Paradigm once a month.  Both balls hit very well, but the paradigm can open up the lanes a little more on a tough lane condition.  Just my 2 cents.


Thanks Remper... Sounds like a great review and gives me insight into the longevity factor, which is something I haven't thought much about. Great review! I appreciate it, man!!

Any others??
