Ravage II on EBAY
« on: November 23, 2004, 12:00:38 AM »
Could this be a Ravage with Activator coverstock.  My guess would be yes looks very pearly to me.  I do recall Brian Pinel however saying that they didn't like activator on some of their cores.  Does anyone know for sure? It is definitely a pearl.  Perhaps the same cover they used on the Punisher new N control Powerboost?

I doubt it's Activator.  KOTM, who seems to have the inside scoop, said that Mo's cores and Activator don't match up well.

When I read about the Total Annhilation it says enhanced Reactivated.

That sure sounds like it could be Morich in a Uranium Inferno Wrapper.

Same or almost same core as Ravage, Mayhem.

After reading this first post i went out to my local driller and he had a few of these in the shop. I drilled mine up pin about 1/2 up and to the right of the ring, it had about a 1.5 inch pin so the pin was sittin right next to the ring finger. The ball came with 3.7 top weight so i drilled the fingers 4 in deep and had to add a weight hole to take out the extra side and finger weight. I took it out and threw it on THS and ended up standing about 35 taking it out to 5 and watching it scream back, this ball went FOREVER. I was amazed by this balls delayed reaction then the sharp angle it created as it entered the pocket, i left two ten pins in 10 games with it. I would highly recomend this ball for anyone looking for some length and angle by morich.

Up to 137.50 plus freight now.

I had some 1 on 1 time with Mo this weekend when he visited Detroit.  This is not an Activator or Ncontrol cover.

C4 Reactivated is definitely not Brunswicks Activator, it is a custom Morich blend with non-particle fillers to enhance the porosity of the powrkoil he used as a starting base.  Activator in comparison is a very mellow cover, which is why Brunswick uses such low RG cores in it (and why Mo's cores roll poopy with it- they would "hit the mechanic in the forehead" before they would read).

Think of the RavII as a pearl TA.

You are correct Bob. I think one of the boys from here is the proud owner. The seller now has "one", "a pair", and "a case"; for sale NOW!!! Ya can't blame him. I spoke with my driller today about getting a couple of cases from Mo to do the same thing. Are overseas ball ABC approved?

Take care,   Jeff
