Default Mo takes a step in the right direction!

Since we don't deal with these sites we can't control what they do or what you get. So here's the unfortunate catch...if you have problems with what you bought, please call the business from which you bought the ball and NOT the MoRich toll free number! Even though our name and number are on the box, we didn't sell you the ball and can't help you with any problem surrounding your purchase. You MUST work that out with the business you purchased it from. As the old saying goes, "buyer beware!"

I think if Ebonite, Storm and Brunswick went this route times would be better for the pro shops!

yes it would make pro shop sales definitely go up. i've decided since i love the way my pro shop drills my stuff i'm going to support him and buy my stuff from him. it's actually pretty close if you count drilling after you buy it off the net. plus i won't have to wait a week!

I'm super stoked on my pro shop right now. We just got a new partial owner and he is awesome (the previous driller is now an owner as well and he's super cool). The new driller has taken training by Mo Pinel himself! He has all the latest equipment like a Haus machine, DeTerminator, and a Rejuvenator. Plus he really knows his stuff and said it takes him over an hour to fit someone with a ball, before he even starts drilling! Good drillers are hard to find, I'd pay extra to get my balls done right. Plus they throw in free resurfacing and rejuvenation for balls they sell. But having some one who will watch you bowl before they recommend a ball to you is priceless...


And he was stoked I had a No Mercy Beat'n he really understood the science behind the core and cover stock, he highly recommended it.

Looks like MoRich has some warranty issues with internet balls that they were taking care of. The message behind the message was: You got the damn ball cheap,what more do you want?

BTW-The Solid LevRG looked very interesting. Might have to give that one a try.

Not to take this topic further off course but....

A friend of mine (who recently earned the nickname of Mr. 300) has the original LevRG. In fact, his first 300 this season came with that ball shortly after he bought it. BTW, he now has 5 300 games in our house this year and we don't have a bunch of people throwing them.

Anyway, he buys plenty of balls like many of us and I noticed stopped using the LevRG not too long after that 300 game. Turns out that particular ball does not like the Ebonite Powerhouse Energizer cleaner. Supposedly, the ball soaked it up like a sponge and stopped hooking. He had to use the hot water bath method to get the ball back to normal.

I don't doubt the guy because he cleans his gear regularly and knows his bowling. He also said it's the only ball he experienced that with. However, I think he is going to switch to Storm's ball cleaner for now on.

I'm still staying with my Ebonite cleaner. Works great for me and my Pain is still going strong after a year and a half of being my main ball and I use it after every session.
