Who's thrown a Mojo?
« on: January 12, 2006, 04:14:53 AM »
Sorry, Accidentally deleted other post.  I am getting a used Mojo and was wondering what to expect.  Anyone have or had one that can help me out.

Kyle,

For me the Mojo was very consistant. It gave a smooth arc throughout the lane. I had to use it on lanes that were a touch over mediums though because it will read the lane rather soon.

Very good ball.....it went overlooked, like alot of the Track med level balls....

I'm really looking forward to trying it.  I also picked up a used Arsenal Aggresive.  I think they should fit into my arsenal pretty well.

Even when I don't throw it....I've got a little Mojo going on!

But...I would think that the Mojo and Arsenal Aggressive are about 2 as similar balls as one could buy that have slightly different surfaces!  Both medium heavy oil symmetric particles!

REgards,

The mojo was one of my favorite balls.  At the time, I threw my two highest series the first two times I threw it.

So would my arsenal shape up something like this:
GP2
Arsenal Aggresive
Mojo
Xception
Rule (highly polished)
Desert Heat

I'm also looking at getting an Arsenal Reactive.  Would that fit in the somewhere?

Kyle,

That is how I would line it up. The layout and reaction of your Aggressive would determine where the Reactive would fit.

Hey Wylie,

I agree with EX, I used mine also on a medium lite condition.  You have it fit in it's proper place.

Kyle,
Mojo is still one of my favorites and still is in my bag.  Currently, it is my go to ball for my early evening league which bowls on a fresh house shot. Our house douses the lane 10 to 10, so there is loads of oil in the middle and it very dry outside.  I currently use a sanded 600 grit surface, so that it doesn't over react to the dry on the fresh shot.  It also is more consistent than jumpier balls as the lane transitions.

Two years ago, I used the Mojo during a late night shift league.  Back then, I polished with Track's Protraction Plus to help it clear the heads.

The Mojo is forgiving around the breakpoint and does not over react.  You can get a flip look if it is polished and you use some hand.  Call it a controlled flip.  Generally, I would consider it a strong arc that finishes with a good hit keeping the pins low and carrying the corners.  I send more messengers with the Mojo than any of my other symmetric cores balls.

I really love my Mojo because if I swing it, it just reads the lane and turns the corner and retains enough energy to carry the corners.  If I tug it the cover doesn't jump, holding the line clearing the decks.  This ball is forgiving and provides a loads of area.  It is easy to read and allows for easy adjustments to stay in the pocket.  Just keep moving inside as the oil tracks.  If the lane starts to show some carrydown, then move a little outside to get around it.

Don't be afraid to try different finishes from sanded to polished as the Mojo's cover/core combination is very flexible.

Good luck with yours and let us know how it works for you.

i agree with MikeD on this one; i keep intending to have mine redrilled for my new grip, just never got to it, yet.

the great thing that i saw about the mojo is that it acts like what you think a particle pearl acts like: smmoth, earlier transition than a resin pearl, lomger than a solid particle, but hits hard like many newer, supposedly
"super" balls, like the Absolute Inferno & The One; yet it remains "old" technology. Ha!
