Mania

Post by LordOrange »

I just got this drilled, not going to practice until Sunday or Tuesday. What do you think it is going to do? I am excited, this ball will replace my Quantum Raven, then I have two more balls to go to make all my equipment MoRich.

40/ 3 1/2 / 60 Double Thumb p4 13/16 x 3
Axis rotation is normally is about 60°. It changes with lane play.
I have 0° tilt, very high track player.
My PAP is 5 7/16' down 1/8', pitch in my fingers is 3/8 up.
Don't have RPM yet, it is over 350 though. Being humble here, it is alot more.
Ball speed can be in excess of 25 mph, but prefer to stay around 15-18 mph

Yes it is a pink insert. There is a story behind it but a brown thumb oval insert doesn't exist yet.
Everyones Best ball should be their spare ball.
In the bag:
Mania, MoJave , LevRG Response, 'Nsane, Sahara, Special Edition Spare ball, Frenzy.
On the Bench:
'Ntense, Awesome Revs, & other MoRich Balls
Retired:
Awesome Hook, Awesome finish

a P4 wt hole doesn't automatically make it a double thumb. A double thumb would have your thumb and mass bias and wt hole all in very close proximity.your val angle would be 30* instead of 60* and your pin to pap distance would be 4 inches.

Double thumb isn't a mass bias drilled through.

It's a drilling in which the pin is 4" from the bowler's PAP, The angle to the VAL is 30 degreess. The mb is placed 1/2" right of the thumb, the balance hole is 1.5" from thumb.

Mass bias in between thumb and xhole, (maybe alittle below them depending on span).

Called a double thumb, because the x hole resembles a second thumb.

if that is a 40 3 1/2 60 then it should roll fairly early with a long smooth backend who told you it had these angles? Did you measure them?

I just left my ball driller about 2 hours ago. To keep it legal I think. Ball has 3.5 pin and 2.5 top.

Thanks to all the guys that explained that this is not a "Double Thumb" layout!
All "Double Thumb" layouts use a 4" pin to PAP distance and a 30* angle to the VAL. Placing the balance hole in the PSA just makes it a P4 drilling.

This ball has a medium transition drilling with a lot of total diff. Should produce continuous hook.

Please reference the "Double Thumb" layout technique at www.morichbowling.com.

The ball is very versitle as long as there is oil in the heads. But I am sure if I polish it it would work. This is my first ball with the Awakening core (VIGOR is the coverstock). I own just about all ez rev, and awesome line. I can tell you that this ball will take the spot of 2 balls. I can see this ball owning oil patterns.

Sunday practice
Starting point BreakPoint
12 5
16 6
lanes started to break
24 10
30 12
Lanes broke down
34 15
46 17
How many other balls can go that far? I could of played gutter cap, but had already bowled 10 games, with 5 other players on pair. The Mania is a great ball. Like all other MoRich products, it hooks, always the over hardly the under reaction.
