any pros using morich balls

Post by mrbean »

i have been doing pretty good with my awesome finish recently and was wondering if any pros are still using morich?
If I had 6 hours to chop down a tree I would spend the first 4 sharpening the axe.

Ball manufacturers have to pay the PBA for each ball to be legal. Morich no longer pays these dues, so no pros can use those balls.

Story time.
MoRich and the brand rights were sold to Brunswick when Mo Pinel moved over to Radical Bowling Technologies.
Shortly after, the MoRich product line was liquidated.

MoRich was licensed on the PBA for quite some time, from early 2000s until around 2010.
Walter Ray Williams Jr. was the best known and winning-est bowler with MoRich but a wide variety of PBA bowlers used MoRich including Danny Wiseman and Mike Devaney.

Radical is licensed on the PBA but not licensed for PWBA events.
Tom Smallwood is the best known Radical bowling ball user on tour and is an official pro staff member of Brunswick and Radical.
