    As with all Morich equipement this hits HARD! you can hear the differnce when this ball gets into the pins! well plain and simple it Totally Annilhates them. I have the ball set up with pin next to the finger holes Mass Bias out about 1 inch ball clear the heads like a gem then revs up as the oil is just ending then takes off no snap just a strong hard turn the result is devastating pins just vanish. The ball is consistent on almost all oil patterns even the Sport and PBA patterns, it is strong enough to get through even the toughest oil with few adjustments and gentle enough to handle lighter oil with few adjustments. All in all this is my favorite in the bag right now. It has never let me down. Come feel the difference of Morich's Total Annihation!

    AT FIRST I WAS READY TO GIVE THIS BALL AWAY! I HAD A PULLED HAMSTRING ON MY SLIDE LEG AND ALL I COULD DO WAS LAY THE BALL OUT ON THE LANE. I HAVE IT DRILLED VERY AGGRESSIVE AND IT WOULD DIE AND LEAVE ME SPLITS. AFTER MY LEG HEALED I GAVE IT ONE MORE SHOT AT MED SPEED, HIGH REVS SECOND ARROW OUT TO THE 5 BOARD (HOLY SH*T) I DON'T THINK I'M THROWING THE SAME BALL, IT SLIDES, HITS BREAK POINT, READS, GRABS AND REVS UP LIKE A ROCKET, HITS THE POCKET AND PEOPLE 5 LANES OVER ARE LOOKING TO SEE WHAT CREATED THAT EARTH SHATTERING SOUND! PINS ARE HIT SO HARD, I'M WONDERING IF I'M GOING TO HAVE TO STOP WHILE THEY REPLACE THEM WITH NEW ONES! WHAT PINS ARE LEFT IN ONE PIECE ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE, I'M TALKING AMAZING PIN ACTION. AFTER A 239 GAME THE POOR GUYS I'M BOWLING AGAINST IN LEAGUE THINK I'VE BEEN SANDBAGGING WITH MY 188 AVERAGE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WOULD DISCONTINUE THIS BALL, BUT IF YOU CAN FIND ONE GRAB IT! (UNLESS YOU THROW SLOW!)<scrip

    This ball is by far my favorite ball in my bag right now. It is a beautiful compliment to my shock and awe and my WMB. This will arc out and rip back to pocket with so much revs it's unbelievable. Let's just say it's like the Ultimate Inferno (from brunswick) only with better hitting action. I tell you, the ultimate was the best ball I've ever thrown up till now. This ball just has so much energy and predictibality I'm ripping it up at every house I go to. Recently it has become the ball that I use almost everywhere. If it starts hooking a bit too much (which it tends to like doing) I switch right to my shock and awe. Even though it's discontinued the ball is a pickup you'll appreciate.<scri

I've got a Seek & Destroy that's currently getting holes put in her and I'll have a review for that next. However, after using a host of Brunswick products with PK18 along with seeing a number of Total Shock & Awe's being tossed in the area, I thought this would be a great opportunity to give a Morich ball out. Picked this ball up from eBay for $84 shipped, so, even if it was a dis

    First of all, I have tried all sorts of so called Heavy oil ball's only to be able to use them on Medium oiled lanes and squirt on long Heavy oil. I have also tried the Medium to Heavy oil Particle ball's with even less success. I tried a Brunswick Strike Zone and it was better but I still could not get the finish through the pins that I was looking for, then I decided to buy a Total Shock & Awe based on my success with the Pearl version but the distibuter was all out but they said they still had the Total Annihilation so I said, what the Heck, I'll take a chance and I was blessed with a ball that I can use for the Higher amounts of oil. This ball is so good that it is hard for me to know when it's time to drop to my S & A! I drilled my TA Low Track - Sharp Break Point but instead of a screaming flip, it is more of a super strong, heavy arc with no quit at the break point! I bought it and drilled it just prior to a Scratch Masters tournament and as a direct result of using this ball, I

    I had a tough decision when chosing this ball, it was either this or a Power Diesel. I must that I haven't seen a ball quite like this. This is the first MoRich ball I have bought and I am quite. I have this ball for a nice arc reaction drilled 4" pin with a lot of thumb weight. I usually throw the about 17 out to about 9 or 10 but for this one I am throwing about 19 to about 12 and it CRUSHES. It crushes the pocket hard but not like a flush shot. The biggest thing I have noticed with it is when the ball hits the pocket, the pins fly around getting a lot off messengers, the only downfall I would say is when I get the ball too far outside the ball does have it tendencies to leave corner pins. Overall though, I would recemmend this ball to something and I believe it could be a perfect ball for stroker because of how this ball hits.

    Got the ball in oct of 04 at Morich Days hosted by local pro shop. Ball was laid out by Mo with what they called a leverged flip. Found that at first with the drilling ball wasn't good but for a few lane patterns. For my self have found best to be wet sanded 800-1000 and then clean and dulled with Track's clean&dull. Ball gets mid lane with ease and finishes on the backend. Ball is great when backends are decent ,but in have carrydown ball overunders, Mainly due to the drilling. Any one wanting to use on heavy oil I would suggest a forward roll drilling. If you don't want a shot pacific ball

    I like this ball alot not as much as Hercules but enough that I am thinking about buying another one. I was using it at the Wisconsin State tournement and shot 1998 with it in all events I had it drilled with Morich's recommended drilling for a high track sharp breakpoint ( I am not good with the numbers you guys give for the specific drillings) Ball is very strong midlane and backend however I think it is best suited as a midlane ball. I currently have it as my big hooking ball in my league back and it just gets stronger as the oil gets heavier until you get to super heavy stuff then grab something stronger. Plain and simple this ball dominate everything from meduim heavy to meduim light conditions if the lane is in this category Total Annhilation is a good choice!

    This Ball is dead nutz, if you are looking for a ball that hits like a truck , and carries this is the ball for you. i recently bought and it works great on medium to heavy oil. This is the best Morich ball out there by far. With a brunswick coverstock and the Morich core, you can't go wrong!!. Its raw power trapped in a bowlingball. Kicks pins all over the place, and carries like no bowling ball i,ve ever seen. I look foward to seeing a second version of this ball, i would show no hesistation of buying it. This Ball Is Just DEAD NUTZ!!<scri

    Let me start off with a little advisory....DO NOT USE THIS BALL ON DRY LANES!!! It will hook right into the gutter. That being said, I love this ball. this is my first MoRich ball, and definitely not my last. The ball hooks more than any ball I throw, and hits like a monster. I am not a high rev bowler, but I like the way this ball comes off my hand...prcise roll, hook, and hit in the pocket. As much I love this ball, I have to thank the guy that drilled it for me, as he did such a nice job. Unlike most bowlers today, I am a full roller, and most companies don't put out drilling instructions for full rollers, but this guy knew exactly what to do...and he did it. Make sure the right person drills your TA, it'll make a world of difference. Thanks Mike Joseph!!!

    I just got this ball bout a week ago.. So far it has impressed me a lot. I was able to throw the ball as far right(i'm a righty) and the ball would still comeback into the pocket. This ball has an insane amount of hitting power, you slam it into the pocket..you hit high..low.. and still it would provide you with strikes. The revs on this ball is unbelievable. I would recommend this ball for a high speed bowler with lotsa revs.. So far I'm very impressed with this MoRich ball, and am looking foward to getting WMB(weapon of mass bias) soon ! ! ! ! (will update more on this ball) -The ball really loves oil and soaks up a lot of it... just be sure to clean it frequently(3-6 games)

    this ball worked for me for about 30 or 40 games then it just decided to stop hitting like a truck that it use to, If it finds dry boards it takes a hard left. this ball hits like a truck if your a high rev player you should think about getting this ball for medium oil out of the box 225, 300, 230- 755, this ball doesnt hook as much as I thought it would thats all i have to say about this ball mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo momo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo momo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo momo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo momo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo mo

    Have had this ball for about 6 weeks, and can't trust it in a big spot yet. It seems to like oil, but just when you think you've got it zeroed in, in starts going flat on you. Sometimes this ball turns the corner hard, sometimes it just inexplicably fizzles out on me. Just when I start to trust it, it will start sliding past the breakpoint, washout, and I have to move to get it back in the pocket. This sounds like it could be me, or just carry down. Seems to have a nice, even track to the pocket, not a sudden snap like more aggressive pearlized balls. One thing I've noticied is that this ball definitely revs faster off my hand than anything else I have EVER thrown, and I am not a high rev player, but this ball comes off churning. Maybe I need more time with it, but so far, I have had such mixed results with this ball, I can't trust it. PS - It hates dry, and lightly oiled lanes.<

    this is a really nice ball, I like the move it makes but once the lanes breakdown a little I cant get it back to the pocket and I cant make subtle little changes to get it to hit again, I have learned that when this ball works its good, but when I cant find the spot within 3 or 4 shots put it away, this is a pretty good piece I dont know if its me or the drilling I consider myself to be pretty good at changing hand positions and i have tried several surfaces, maybe I need a few of these drilled different ways, I am not that kind of bowling though, my only knock is the versatility

    This ball has a ridicules amount of hitting power if there is enough oil to get it down the lane. I have had it for three weeks now and I can't beleive how hard this ball hits the pocket. It has a decent amount of length for a ball with this amount of hook. On a third arrow shot it goes around 30 feet and starts to turn with a strong arc that you would expect from a dull reactive. But it still seems to gain momentum thoughout the hook with a sharper angle towards the end like a curl not a quick flip like some of the polished reactive balls. This ball is so strong that it actually works better the more carrydown there is. If there is not enough oil it will take off on you too early unless you have a lot of ball speed.

    This was my first ever MoRich ball, and also I had dropped a pound in weight. The difference was there, and it was great. I had the ball drilled with the pin above the ring finger so that it would cut when it hit the backend, and it does. I have a swamp monster and I'm keeping it for dry lanes, but even then the Total Reaction works better still. I just have to adjust where I stand, and I'll be fine. If I ever need to get a new bowling ball(which I won't) I will definitely ask my pro shop buddy to order me another MoRich Ball GO MORICH!!! Length - 3 / 10 Hook - 9 / 10 Backend - 9 / 10

    Posting a review emailed to us from one of our customers: I'm a left-handed power-stroker with 225+ average. I bowl in a second-shift scratch league where the left-side is significantly tighter than the right-side. Due to ball speed (19-20 MPH), rev-rate (350+ RPM), axis tilt (my track diameter is 10.5 inches and my PAP is 4 7/8 up 1/2), and carry-down, I've had a particularly tough time getting a good mid-land reaction from my equipment. My break-point on this condition was typically between 42-45 feet playing between the 1st and 2nd arrow with no more than a 2 board swing. Based on a recommendation from BuddiesProShop.com, I purchased a Morich Total Annihilation. Normally I layout my own equipment, but decided to have Buddies Pro Shop do the layout for me since this was my first Morich ball. I didn't get a chance to throw any practice games prior to using it during my scratch league play. Out of the box I had a clean 3-game series of 814 (236 - 279 - 299). I left a total o

    For those who have never tried a Morich bowling ball...this ball is a must. Mo switched manufacturers from Columbia to Brunswick. This particular ball has MO's core with Brunswicks Activator coverstock...My ball was drilled ring finger to the left of pin with the cg kicked in 15 degrees. What I got is amonster of a ball. This ball needs oil to work...w/o oil you will find you cannot keep this ball on the lane. The coverstock is a "blend" so you can play with surface by polishing ball for more length. Out of the box...this ball HOOKS. However, I keep mine dull for tournaments that use lots of oil. I usually stand at 20 throw out about 10. The energy you get is what the ball says...Annihilates the pins. What you will see is amazing...the ball snaps in the backend with unbelievable power. I have yet to throw a series lower than 600 with this ball during league play. If you have some "hand" this ball is a good bet for your tournament or league play. If you want consistency in oil this

    Punched one up for a customer tonight . Axis 5 1/2 x 1/2 Pin 5" from PAP, Over Ring Finger, Mass Bias Right of thumb hole. Aappx 45 degree layout . Weight Hole in the Finger Positive Quadrant on the VAL. I was worried about the placement of the weight hole due to the high flare, and it is flaring past the VAL at the PAP. I used a small bit and went deep so the flare is on each side of the hole and it doesn't hit the hole. Mo has a good one here,despite the fact that Brunswick makes the ball. The ball does not expend it's energy until it hits the pins, and Totally Annihilates them.

    We are posting this review for one of our pro shop customers. My good friends down at Buddies Pro Shop put me into the MoRich - Total Annihilation this afternoon using an asymmetrical layout After ten games with it, I'm inclined to think they are on to something pretty special. For the record, I'm a senior bowler and average 215 - 220 on most of todays house conditions. I will confess that I've never enjoyed a high level of comfort on heavier oil but that may be changing with this new acquisition. The drilling details are as follows: My PAP is 4 1/8 inches and up 7/8. My track circumference is 10 1/2 inches. The pin location is 1 3/4 above the grip mid line, under the ring finger and 4 inches from PAP. The mass bias is 5 1/2 inches from PAP. The difference I'm finding with this ball and drilling is that although it is super strong, it does not hook up too early and delivers a readable trajectory to the pocket even with my slower ball speed of 15 - 16 mph.

    I needed a ball that just hooked and Chris at Buddies said to wait for this new ball by Morich, so I took his advice, and boy does this thing hook.
