LevRG Response???
« on: November 12, 2008, 11:49:11 PM »
What is the ball supposed to do on the lane? I am confused, what ball is it replacing in MO's lineup?

And finally the big question could I use it to replace the Awesome Flip?

FYI....on website.

"Note: USBC has notified MoRich that due to recent issues with moving their servers to their new HQ that access to the approved ball list is not currently available. USBC notified MoRich that on Nov 13, the LevRG RESPONSE was APPROVED for USBC competition. They apologize for the inconvenience.

Also from pretty good knowledgeable people in the MoRich clan....the particle used in Response was particle from the old C300.  Hence, the Ra valve spikes and pores referred to on Mo's site.  

Local from my area says they should show up to some drillers that had orders in for them later this week.

scott, i am confused, if the response is a pearl with particle additive why does the morich site list it along with 6 others as a pearl reactive and still only one pearl particle, the rev.  i have had enough success with the revs that i would welcome another pearl particle from morich.

Basically, from what I hear from insiders some of the other balls also have had particle...and not listed as such.  It is a very small amount of particle but also how can we talk about Ra value spikes and pores without particle?

Also even though listed as a pearl cover....I would not think of it as true pearl in the way that most of us think about it.  Otherwise why would the website say this about the cover?  ----->  "Learning from all the valuable research recently performed by the USBC in regards to coverstock Ra values (the height and depth of the microscopic "spikes" and "pores" on the surface of a bowling ball), and their direct effect on a cover's performance capabilities, MoRich developed the all new Extended Ra Pearl Reactive Cover. This incredible new cover increases the Ra value, allowing the LevRG RESPONSE to deliver the most responsive and continuous ball reaction the industry has ever seen!

Development Concept: To produce a new coverstock with a larger Ra value to increase performance by providing increased lane surface contact. Use modified core densities to produce a later more responsive and continuous breakpoint.

Coverstock Notes: All new formula designed to raise the Ra value of the cover thus providing improved contact between the ball and the lane surface. Although the Extended RA Pearl Reactive coverstock provides increased surface contact, the cover material is extremely "workable" and accepts sanding and polishing easily, allowing for breakpoint locations to occur sooner or later down the lane, depending upon the surface adjust made to the cover.


Most pearls have been created for more skid and not as large as foot print as a solid.  This is not what the website says.

JMO....but Mo is creating pearls rather than solids that a bowler can adjust with abralon to create the look they want.  Cores that will come off the spot harder generally depending on layout to have a more continuous look thru the pin deck.  Anybody else see it that way?

You still have to lay them out correctly and tweak cover for what you want.  Not a ball that a novice would be as comfortable with.  Just the way I see it.

My thoughts on MoRich, and I will try to tie in the LevRG Response as not to hijack the post.  When MoRich began becoming a bigger player, I thought I had found my company for life, as I am a rev challenged, speed dominant player.  I tried a Total Annihilation, Awesome Revs, and two 'NSane LevRG's, all drilled by different people.  The Revs, and the Total just never let me get lined up and string strikes, the 'Nsane's, I drilled opposite, and used different surfaces on them hoping to show the versatility and strength of Mo's cores.  Same thing, just never really found a condition where I had THE ball for it with either of these.  My wife, who is a 170 average or so bowler, loves the MoRich balls.  She now has a MOjave, Awesome Finish, and 'Ntense LevRG.  This is total opposite of what I expected.  Now, on to the Response.  I looked at this ball, and considered adding it to her arsenal, but am wondering if there is enough difference between that and her Awesome Finish to justify having both.  Her Finish is drilled pin below the fingers, and MB kicked out to the left, (she's left handed).  I thought if I went pin over her middle finger, and MB below the thumb or so, this could give more of a defined breakpoint, but her Awesome Finish flips pretty hard when it hits friction as it is.  Mo has always been pretty good at putting together a line of equipment that compliments each other pretty well, so it may show up under the Christmas tree for her yet.  Until then, keep going through different layouts and surfaces that could compliment her Finish, and see what I come up with.  Good luck to those that get one.

thegame,

As many have said or will say Mo's balls with their strength need to be drilled exact for your PAP, technique and lane condition.  They are very specific pieces....one needs to know when to use them and when to not.

I have had 3 Mo balls using with varying success the more I understand about them and see other good bowlers use them I am beginning to understand how to use them better.

I have to say that the last Mo ball I drilled a Solid LevRg pin under 65* 4 1/2" 60* X hole at P2 with a control drilling is great "benchmark" ball. I am hoping the Response will be the ball above it.

BTW....as I've used the Solid LevRg I've noted the more I stay under it and use more forward roll the ball reacts off the spot better.  I need to find the friction for it to read correctly....when I do I can't think of many balls that can carry as well.  

To be honest since they are a lil release specific and trajectory specific I find I concentrate better.

Scotts has it right.

guess this LevRG Response will not be the ball to replace my
