What is the factory finish of the Mojave.

It only mentioned polished. What's the grit level under the polish.

Normally, Brunswick's high gloss polish usuallu implies sanding to 400 grit US and then polishing with Brunswick High Gloss polish. Many polishes can be used to approximately one another, but if you really want to get close, try to use the original factory polish.

How does the Mojave perform as a dry lane ball?  I have a Awesome Revs, and a Twisted Fury, sometimes the TF can be a little strong, i have to play the entire lane (cranker).

A friend has one. Based on how he throws it, what I use on our league night when we bowl together, and how he has it drilled, I'd call it a light to medium-light oil ball. It is NOT a drty lanes ball by any stretch of the imagination, unless you throw your strike ball 22 - 25 mph.

It is a very good light to medium-light oil ball!
I have a TF pearl. I would say the Mojave is a step down from it.

Ok then.  I remember I had an old AMF Velocity, that thing went long for me w/its polished cover, loved it for drier lanes.  Maybe the Mojave can be like that.  Where's the best place/cheapest to get the Mojave in 14 lbs?

I know of no cheap sources for MoRich, except Ebay + luck.
