Attn: Hercules Owners
« on: November 25, 2003, 03:36:06 PM »
Hi all,

I have a Hercules on the way that I've acquired so I can try MoRich stuff.........

Wanted to know what drillings, cover preps, conditions, etc,...Hercules owners have/use ??

Any and all......how do you use the ball, likes-dislikes,...how versatile is this ball anyhow ?

Thanks......

I STRONGLY recommend that you
stick with the Morich recommended drillings from their website, UNLESS you email or speak to Fred Carroll, their Director of Technical Services!!!!

Another recommendation:

Be sure you are exactly sure of your cover finish.  My brother can't get his to act quite like it did when it was new.

When he polished it (with Ebonite Factory Finish) he found the ball a bit squirty.

When scuffed, it seemed to react more evenly.

It's definitely a versatile ball.

Bob,

I just restored mine to box. WHat I did was put a light poilsh on it, so it actually  looked polished, but not a gloss shine. Them, and here's the delicate part, I used Neo-Tac's Liquid Sandpaper. I applied it gently by hand, with a clean terry cloth wash cloth, until I got it back to what looked and felt to me like stock. It acts like stock also.

I went with a sharp break point drill for the med track player and i'm very happy with mine.

Hey Jeff,
I have just recently purchased a Hercules. This is another one of those scary balls for me. If I put too much hand into it, it moves like the energizer bunny!
Mine is 15#'s. simple label leverage drilling. It amazes me that it gets so much pop at the pindeck. But only if I remain with a "vanilla" release.I can't give it any extra stuff. Goes long, and turns up hard. So far, only used the good Dr's oil repellant liquid, though I am considering giving it a bit more surface, so I can read the breakpoint a little earlier. I like what I've seen so far, but haven't experimented with enuf different releases to feel confident about giving a review. Good luck with yours though.

I get a lot of attention from the ladies, they love that pastel cake like color.

I personally don't mind it either.
