    All right I have used this ball with two different drill patterns and both patterns rocked the places I bowl.I have used this bowl on every oil pattern from burnt up house shot ( an outing with some co-workers) to a sport shot league. I have played this ball everywhere from first arrow to fifth arrow. Plain and simple if you can adjust this ball will do everything you need it to, Snap at the end of the lane or a easy roll all the way down the lane. The hit is also incredible. I really can't say enough about this ball when I first got it the proshop owner brought it down to me after league started and I had the first six in a row with it right out of the box! Nothing can stand in the way of mighty Hercules my all time favorite bowling ball.

    This is the easiest to use ball I have. The core is very powerful and will hit harder than hell without needing a lot of angle. I never have to throw the Hercules outside of the 10 board if I don't want to since this ball will carry a pocket hit from a light angle. The coverstock is very predictable with a smooth arcing pattern that is very forgiving and will not leave splits unless you play way outside. It is easy to control in the box condition and I haven't tried to change the surface only keep it close to the factory cover specs as possible. I like to start with this ball in warm-up first to judge the lane conditions and will use it as my first choice in most of the places I bowl since it gives me the least amount of problems. <s

    As with most particle balls as long as you avoid dry lanes they work as intended. This ball had a strong move and finish and was very predictable. I was not Disappointed with my first Morich ball and would purchase another if the chance and price are right, especially now that Brunswick is making the covers. I realize that this particular ball was made by Columbia for Morich but I personally prefer a Brunswick cover as compared to Columbia. To each his own though. I would not mind picking up a Total Annihilation or the WMB. 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words 100 words

    I just had this ball drilled up with one of the recommended leverage drillings. I don't recall the exact measurement, but the drilling required removal of side weight. Went to a no-tap tournament this past Saturday, and the lanes were set up with a fairl shot. Not good for those who want to play the outside like a bumper, but enough room to miss a little inside or out when playing deeper on the lane. I tried several balls during the 25 minute warm up, includind a new Uranium Buzzsaw and a Storm Super Charge. The Hercules gave me the most consistant and predictable reaction. Overall it gave a smooth move through the heads, and alway had enough back end to make a strong move to the pocket, even with carry down. I kept the factory finish on the ball, which I guess is about 800. This will be my go to ball for this old wooden lane house for the foreseeable future.

    Great ball could use some improvement i am going to buy the mayhem soon though. This ball is highly recommended by me and for a good bowler who doesnt hit the ball too much this ball will do alot of the work for you. The hercules is a ball that can move but has trouble in heavy oil and hooks too much on dry conditions. I have bought all morich balls the colossus pearl the supreme and the regular one then the hercules now i am buying the mayhem. I think morich is the bowling ball company of the future and their balls can only get bigger better and stronger.

    My Hercules is 16 lbs with a pin out of 4" and it's drilled the 2.5" pin medium track control drill layout. This ball is down right mean, a monster on the lanes when it starts arcing nothing stops it. It can handle it's fair share of oil, but somewhere you'll need the slightest bit of dry to turn it over. This is a decent ball for house/walls/wet dry shots, because it will do an average job at blending the shot out. The rest is up to the user, can fly off the lanes, or skid in oil if thrown terribly. The hit is average but the carry is out of this world. The Hercules is the best carrying ball I've ever thrown and so far I've only left three ten pins with it. This is a very versatile ball and I think MoRich fans would be lost if they didn't have this one.

    I am not that familiar with Morich balls. I just tried one. I am not quite impressed by the way this ball performed. What i like about this ball is that is very consistent and it can be used in any lane condition. It also has a very smooth transition to the pocket area. I think the collosus supreme is much better than this ball. Highly recommend it to those who lacked control. I am the only one who has it here in the Philippines. Anyway good bowling. Mo Pinel try to change the coverstock of your bowling balls cause it sucks. I am looking forward to your new the ball the onslaught.

    I thought it would have huge backend. It was similiar to the Dynothan THING I have. I like this ball much more than I liked either of the Colossus line balls. Great pin action, and hit. All MoRich balls that I have thrown HIT well though. Where this ball stood apart was on oil. I did not think I would be able to use it when there was oil in the backends. I was wrong. It reacted very smoothly off of the breakpoint. There was hardly any over/under reaction out of this ball, which is exactly the opposite of the colossus pearl. For a bowler with slower balls speeds than I have (20mph+) I could see the Hercules being a heavy oil ball. VERY versatile ball by MoRich. From what I have seen of the Onslaught on the lanes, they should have stayed with this coverstock and put the onslaught core it......... Mo hit a homerun with this ball.

    Well drilled one of these up and thrown about 30 games with it. For the most part I wanted something for that medium to light and to help get thru the carry down without losing its recovery in the backend. We axis drilled it and left some side weight in the ball. Ball got thru the heads ready good but wasn't finishing very strong at first it was real sensitive. Drilled a weight hole in it to increase flare and the ball performed very good. Ball hits very hard and carrys those light hits far better then any ball i've thrown. You come high with this ball tho it is not forgiving leaves some pretty nasty stuff. After 30 ball still performs really well and has a light track.

    You have to get your hand out of the ball for maximum turn , some crankers might not be able to achive a good solid hit if the ball hasn't been drilled properly.I own another morich ball that I had drilled to go a litte farther down the alleys for when they start to dry out and it hits hard also , I only talk about hard because both balls are only 14# and I can average in the 190's with house ,sport or ABC oil , you probably ask why I only use a 14# ball??? because thats all I need with this hard hitter, Thanks Mo for a great ball.

    Got this one punched on 4/1. Drilled as a 5x3. Tuesday's practice: mainly able to play near second arrow. Started at 19, 11 at the arrows, out to about 7, then SNAP into the pocket. Very nice reaction, easy to play. Stepped left a bit, starting at 24, 16 at the arrows, floated out to 11, then a good, strong finish (not as snappy as the farther outside shot). Still had great carry. If I missed my target, prices were paid in terms of a few ugly splits, but sloppy pin action left a lot of makeable spares. Tuesday's league: had the same oil pattern as in practice. Tried the inside line, but my own mistakes forced me to the farther outside shot. Ball reacted wonderfully when I threw it like I wanted to. Misses to the left went on the beak, but only left a couple ugly splits. Misses to the right would fight to make it back, but thankfully no washouts or 2-10 combos. Finished with 632, which I feel is respectable for how low the general league scores were. Wednesday's league: same shot as

    I can say one thing this will be the first ball I pull out of my bag every time I bowl. This ball rolls better than anything I have ever had and it keeps on rolling hard through the pins. I very seldom get tapped with corner pins but did notice leaving a few more 8 and 9 pins, not something I’m going to worry about. The more I use this ball the better it seems work. I have heard some people say they didn’t care for the ball color but it’s not all that bad I've had worse. This is my third week with the ball and have bowled four 700 series and one 300 game. Ball is amazing.

    This ball reads the midlane so easily you hardly need to put effort into throwing it. I used this ball from start to finish on the higher oil shot, never shooting under 650 with it yet. Hand positions also work wonders with this ball. Crank it and itll turn on a dime. Take some hand out of it and the core does more than enough to carry the back row. Shooting the 10 pin with this ball is no problem. Even if you put a few more revs on it than intended, it holds the line and glides right to the mark. Amazing ball overall, Mo Pinel just keeps popping out great balls. The best of luck to him.

    Have used the ball In medium-dry oil conditions and the ball responded beautifully on that house condition. Tried it at another bowling centere where the house condition is oily with not much back end and the ball worked very well, I could shoot straight down the 8th board and the ball came back strong and destroyed the pins. Mixes the pins very well too. Will recomend that when the lanes dry up to change the ball, it starts to get a little bit to agressive. It is a very good ball to change to when using the colossus supreme and the lanes start to dry up.

    Mix'edm Up Baby!!! This thing hits like a truck. I have never had a ball hit this hard or mix the pins up as much as this one. I have thrown just about every ball manufactured in the last 15 years so I do not say this lightly. The ball is digusting in color and the all around perfromance does lack alittle but when you can use it its like money in the bank. The ball is under over on fresh shots and unpredictable on dry, it hooks early sometime, but when they are in transition this ball is a clear winner and boy does it mix'em up... Any question let me know. Trplx355@hotmail.com

    I used this ball on 3 different shots. 10x10, League pattern, and heavy flat oil pattern down to 44ft. This ball has a extremely snappy back end reaction with the factory finish, and used on medium- to medium heavy oil. When polished even further this ball goes much longer, and has a great backend reaction on typical league conditions. When using the flat oil pattern I sanded it down to 600grit, and gave it a shot of Neo Tacs Hook it. Just to get it a little tacky. This ball handled that heavy oil like a champ, and just desimated the pins. Over all I am very pleased with this ball, very versatile and reads the lanes very well. I would suggest this ball to anybody looking for a great combination ball between medium and heavy oil. Another thing that I have noticed on Mo's equipment is that their balls were rather ugly in appearance, almost gave it a cheap look to the ball. When the pioneer came out, and now Hercules I see that Mo, and Rich have begun to give their equip

    Started out playing my normal line around 10 board. Slight swing from about 13 to 10. Good recavery if I missed out, and sat longer if I missed in. Didnot overrev and go strait like the Colossus was prone to do. However when I moved right, into the dry and through the ball really weak,I had to work to miss the pocket. The fudge knuclers are going to love this ball.Very versital coverstock. Dull it hooks quite a bit earlier, and with a high polish, get very skid flippy.Fits very nicely between my Labrynith and Colossus Supreme.
