morich seems like the geekiest of bowling ball technology from what i've seen. makes me interested in these balls, but why must they all be so ugly?

I was throwing my Awesome Finish when a friend in the league on another team walked up and said..."So I see you went to the shop and said drill me up something that looks like the hershey squirts going down the lane."

Easy...

To increase carry percentage, corner pins are terrified of ugly balls so they fall down easier.

not ugly just different.

They are swirled and toned like that to hypnotise pins into falling down

Really it's just the last few.  I thought the Ravage, S&A, and most of the other Vanguard balls are fine.  Hard to screw up solid-color particles, ya know?  The Revs and Finish, though, are not pretty.  The mixing is weird, the colors look terrible.

Not sure I agree about the REVS. Mine is mostly blue with a little bit of yellow and red, it looks pretty good. My FINISH looks good as well.

But I do agree about the LevRG. I often wonder what that ball will look like if it is polished. I know that will not change the color, but would the shine make it more appealing to the eye.

I Don't think it's ugly but UNIQUE!!! Not as the blended color as Storm's or Brunswick's, without personality characteristics.

Some of the mixes look like the morning after (or even late evening after) eating plenty of food and having waaaaayyy too many colored frozen fufu drinks.

I'm sorry, but the LevRG is one ugly ball. It's like a girl that you need to turn off the lights and triple bag (two for her and one for you). It's likely a great "piece" once you start "rollin'", but ugly to look at.

I've yet to turn out the lights while "rollin'".  It's tough enough to hit that target on the ceiling without being deprived of lights, as well.

My Revs is mostly yellow.  And it is by far the ugliest ball I have ever owned, and probably the ugliest ball I have ever seen.  Every single person that sees me throw the ball says the same thing.  But man oh man does it knock over some pins!!!
