I've cleaned my Morich after every use and it still outhooks everything I own with the best carry.  Proper maintenance can go a long way.

IF the lane has oil in the heads, the ball reads the midlane well with a STRONG backend reaction and seems to carry the 10 pin from a variety of different entry angles.  Very forgiving IF there is head oil.

I have well over 150 games on mine....it's a beast!!! Yes I use clean and dull after every session I bowl with it....Infact my Ravage, Ravage2 and Shock and Awe have well over 150 games also and they all still react perfectly.Back to the total S&A it's reads great through the midlane and still has plenty of juice in the backend. I have polished it up to go longer and snap harder in the backend when the heads were fried and there was carrydown worked nicely.I have also dulled it down at other houses with much more oil,even flat patterns and it handled it also quite well.It's a very Versatile ball!

My friend got a tsa not too long ago. The first 10 games or so it hooked alot, but after that it stopped hooking. So now it only hook maybe 10 boards. From what Iv'e seen, its disappointing.......... bad for morich.

you honestly want to know what this ball does.  HOOK FOR DAYS.  I would consider this ball about two steps above the wmb.  I have two of those and threw a tsa and this ball all I can say is that the ball has more of a backend movement then the wmb.  WOW is all I can say.

I do think with this ball that you will definately need to tweek the cover if you have to bowl in a center that is either 1) broken down heads 2) are med-oily conditions.  I bowl in a house that is pretty walled up and I still have to swing the lane.  So just so you know ahead of time.  Overall a great ball in this companies aresenal

I have a WMB I bought last year that I loved. I even felt so strong about it, that I went into Precision and wanted another one. Instead he talked me into a TSA. WOW am I glad he did. As much as I loved that WMB, the TSA is just sick. The first two weeks I had it, I had to leave it in my bag as it hooked too much. Then last week I took a chance and played inside with it. What a difference. I shot 730 and could have had 770 if it weren't for a pocket 7-10 and various 9's and 8's I left. I pulled it out again tonight and shot 740 with a 5 count open in the first tenth frame and another open in my last tenth frame. I can't say enough about this ball. Honestly it should be illegal. It's that tough.
As much as I loved my WMB, this ball is twice as good.

Thanks,

Since when is ten boards of hook considered dead?? I better pretty much throw out a thousand dollars worth of balls. Damn i knew i was missing out on something. This ball has looked pretty good in the hands of the two guys who throw them around here. It does seem to need a good abundance of head oil but we bowl on old wood so that is about standard for any stronger cover balls.

In our area if drilled properly this ball is killing for our top bowlers.

I mean they are setting all sorts of personal records for themselves!

REgards,

PS I'm not convinced it is better than WMB but it hooks more!  WMB is still a great ball and a big hitter!

one word: wow! what a great ball. everything said about it is right. this is probably the first time i've thrown a ball that met up to/exeeded the hype. kept hearing 3 things over and over and over...hooks a ton, hits like a rock, carries well. all three are perfectly true. what i'm wondering, does every morich hit/carry like this? because if so, i need advice on a morich arsenal. i've already got a TA on the way. lmk what i'll have to do to the surface to make it fit well with the tsa. also, what else to get? S&A? Sahara? lmk.
