MoRich Product Cleaning/Resurfacing

All MoRich equipment cover stocks can be easily altered to help you gain a competitive edge in matching the coverstock with an oil condition and/or pattern. Please keep in mind that your game, your style, and your specific drilling will also play a major role in how a particular ball will react.

As an example of ball comparisons, the Labyrinth was introduced in August 2000. At the time it was considered a very aggressive particle ball. Since then there has been many advancements made in particle covers and the Labyrinth would now be considered a mild to medium (at best) particle ball. To give you an example, our Colossus Supreme has about 4-5 times as much particle as the Labyrinth.

With that being said, it is very easy (sometimes very easy, depending on the cover material, i.e.: Reactive Resin, Mild Particle, etc.) to change the surface from dull to shiny, especially if you use a quality polish and a ball spinner (hand applications may require a bit more effort). We would also like to remind you that changing (altering) the surface of a ball during sanctioned league or tournament competition is prohibited by USBC rules. You may alter the entire surface during practice, but once competition begins, you cannot.

We strongly recommend making small changes to the cover's surface, a little at a time. The core and cover (on all our products) are very well matched up to provide optimum performance and small changes can yield vast differences in reaction.

The total overall hook of any MoRich ball can be easily changed by altering the surface texture. To achieve the maximum overall hook, dull the surface with a burgundy scuff pad or 400-600 grit sandpaper. Smoothing the surface with a grey scuff pad or 800-1500 grit sandpaper will increase length (delay hook) while smoothing out the overall motion. Applying compound or polish will reduce the surface friction causing the ball to gain even more length, while retaining energy longer, and helping to produce a stronger backend reaction (providing there is enough friction on the backend to release this energy).

Brunswick Factory Finishes

All current MoRich Bowling balls come out of the box with one of the eight following Brunswick factory finishes:

	1) High Gloss Polish (MOjave, Sahara, Ravage, Awesome Finish)
	2) Rough Buff/Compound (Awesome Revs, Awesome Flip, Shock & Awe)
	3) 4000-grit wed sand (FRENZY, LevRG RESPONSE, Solid LevRG, Nsane LevRG)
	4) 1200-grit wet sand (Seek & Destroy)
	5) 1000-grit wet sand (Ntense LevRG, LevRG)
	6) 800-grit wet sand (Total Annihilation)
	7) 500-grit wet sand (Awesome Hook, Weapon of Mass Bias)
	8) 400-grit wet sand (Total Shock & Awe)

High Gloss Polish: A new product, developed for use in the Brunswick factory, now available to Pro Shops and bowlers. Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish improves on their previous factory finish by maximizing gloss and appearance while improving traction in carry down and backend reaction. Of all the Brunswick Factory Finishes, High Gloss Polish causes the ball to react the latest on the lane but with the sharpest breakpoint when used on appropriate lanes conditions (on heavy oil, high gloss finishes will go too long and not hook on the backend at all; use one of the duller, earlier reacting surface finishes below for this type of lane condition).

Rough Buff/Compound: A new product, developed for use in the Brunswick factory, now available to Pro Shops and bowlers. Use Rough Buff to polish all MoRich coverstocks. Brunswick's Factory Finish Rough Buff provides a finish that can be described as semi-gloss or matte finish or rubbing compound. This type of surface finish reacts earlier on the lane with a more even breakpoint and more overall hooking action than the High Gloss Polish.

Both Rough Buff and High Gloss Polish are non-toxic, biodegradable, and are USBC approved.

4000-grit wet sand: A finish where 4000-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. Balls finished at 4000-grit are first wet sanded with 400-grit sand paper/pad, 800-grit sand paper/pad, and then 1000-grit sand paper/pad.

1200-grit wet sand: A finish where 1200-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. Balls finished at 1200-grit are first wet sanded with 400-grit sand paper/pad, 800-grit sand paper/pad, and then 1000-grit sand paper/pad.

1000-grit wet sand: A finish where 1000-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. Balls finished at 1000-grit are first wet sanded with 400-grit sand paper/pad and then 800-grit sand paper/pad.

800-grit wet sand: A finish where 800-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. Balls finished at 800-grit are first wet sanded with 400-grit sand paper/pad. This type of surface finish reacts earlier on the lane with a more even breakpoint and more overall hooking action than the Rough Buff finish.

500-grit wet sand: A finish where 500-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. This type of surface reacts earlier on the lane with a more even breakpoint and more overall hooking action than the 800-grit finish.

400-grit wet sand: A finish where 400-grit sand paper/pad is the final finishing process. This type of surface reacts earlier on the lane with a more even breakpoint and more overall hooking action than the 800-grit finish.
