WMB: Wow this was my first Morich ball, and I have to say it probably was one of there best balls besides the TS&A. This thing hooks in oil, and hits very hard. I had one that had hundreds of games on it, and after I soaked it, was just as mean as when I got it. I did have one that was self polished, and it did smooth it out a bit more, but I found that it lost some pop. But this is also oil soaked, so its not true polish. Wish I still had it.
