This Ball is great!  Mine has the CG 5" from the center of my grip, with the pin 45 degrees from grip center, and with a big weight hole thru the CG.  This ball gets through the heads exceptionally well, and booms on the back.  Hope to do great things with it.

Before I went to the demo with Mo and Del, I thought to myself, dont buy a Freak, its too much ball. After talking to Del and killing racks with the Pioneer, I asked Del how a Mojo would set up for me. He said we could drill one to give me the same reaction as the Pioneer, except a little bit stronger. I went into the pro shop, grabbed a Mojo out of the box, and we sized it up. 15lbs, 5" pin, I believe 2 1/2 oz top weight. We did a 5 x 6 3/4 drilling to give it the same reaction and control....WOW! Same reaction as the Pioneer indeed, except a little harder turn in the backend, and about 3-4 more boards hook overall. Played 3rd arrow-just inside 3rd out to 5 again, and the Mojo came back and shreded racks again. Not a lot of messengers however, because I was crushing the pocket flush. Ball rolls very smoothly, pickes up the roll and hits like a ton of bricks. Couldnt believe it. I am now sold on Track balls again, all of my Storm equip is for sale now! Used this ball in my thursday night league and had plenty of room in practice, but as the lanes broke down, I had to move more and more in which started to cause me to wrap 7 pins, and thanks to my great spare shooting, missed half of them (shot 586 for the set, could have been high 6). Also caught a bad break with back to back pocket 6-7 splits, which once I adjusted didnt see again. Give it a 9.5 out of 10, will raise that after messengers start flying around and I get a few more games on it. Thank you Del and thank you Track!!! I found my MOJO!!!

I just drilled this ball for myself and I am truly IMPRESSED! Shot a 264,265,& 275 the first time out!
Drilled it...
Pin 6 inches from axis and the pin is 1/2 inch from my track.
It goes nice and long and snaps hard in the back end.

MoJo, 15 lbs, 3 oz, 5 inch pin.

Drilled 5x5. Left in out of box surface. Used a 2 coats of Magic Shine once I noticed early burn in out of box surface. After I finally realized that 5x5 reactives are to over/under for me on busted house shots/open play shots. Decided to punch out a MoJo. Great choice. Great length, consistentency, even reaction, and power to boot. Who could ask for more? Does not squirt on carrydown nor does it flip like a gymnast on flying backends. (hand adjustments of course) I primarily use this ball on broken down patterns or when I am out of options I go to this ball.

GOOD!GOOD!GOOD!
Drilled pin-pap 3 3/8,CG-near the center of grip.
I'm stroker. Ballspeed and rev.: mideum to high.
The best ball I've ever used.Confortable length and controrable turn but strong!
Usable mideum to mideum oily conditions.Now I'm using Contender and Champ.
Probably particles of Contender and Champ are hard,MOJO's particles are soft.
Smooth length but bit the oil!! Almighty ball!! If you have not ever used soft
particle balls.TRY MOJO!! THE BEST BALL of my 10years bowling life.

Im a medium speed medium revs stroker.  Mine laid out with the pin a little left of the middle finger (i come through the back of the ball so have to use more dynamic drillings to achieve what i want) the static in palm with the cg kicked out slightly.

Thought the ball would come factory dull, but to my surprise it was polished.  This ball has surprised, much better on medium to light oil than i anticipated.  I bowl in a house that oils a top hat down to 39 with pretty light oil and this ball is great for it.  Can play 13 out to 8 and back up with authority.  Usually can never play this deep, with any ball.  I have always loved track balls and once again i may go strictly Track.  Ordered a Mutant recently hoping to have it soon for my tournaments.

I posted on this one already, but had to come back again and tell you more!
The last time I shot an 804. This time I shot 279, 280, 258 for an 817. This ball just keeps getting better and better for me!

To start off, I'm a devoted fan of storm and that's all I Throw. I've seen this ball thrown by a friend and I love the reaction that he gets out of the ball. It reads the lane better then most other balls on the market and works on most conditions. My friend had it drill with the pin high above the fingers and the cg bumped out towards the PAL Line. On wet/dry lane condition it rolled very nicely, going about 40 ft and then rolling up into the pocket. On oil, you could play a little straight help keep the shot under control.
My friend went and got another one after the first one was damaged and the new one was a little more aggressive because the pin wasn't as far out so the cg was about in the same place as the first, but the pin was now right of the ring finger and it reacted good just more aggressive.
I think that it's a good ball for the bowler that wants to up grade to a better ball and doesn't bowl that many tournaments outside the his/her area.

Bought this ball used, pin 3-4 pin under fingers cg kicked out balance hole on  p.a.p, this ball gave me super control and carry on my league shot. I recently went back to Track this season after a year off, so I am playing catch up right now.

This is a super control ball, very versatile to drill I will give this ball a 9 out of 10. Thanks Track.

Thanks, For Reading my review.

I got this ball for free when I was bowling at a bowling center, When the ball bounce out of their lane and chipped my Ti Messenger in half. I'v had the Mojo for a couple weeks now, And recently I shot a 259 with it. The ball hooked very well, Entering the pocket was a freak train. I give the ball about a 8 out of 10 scale.

pin 2-3"

Drilling:  pin centered between thumb and fingers, cg straight out at 3:00

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this ball, but I was pleasantly surprised when i threw it.  Because of the drilling it rolls pretty early, but still retains a lot of energy for the back end.  On the pattern that I usually bowl on (basically 10 to 10 to 39 feet), I have to stand on 35 and throw over 20 and get the ball out  past 10 at the breakpoint or it is going through the nose.  This ball rolls very smoothly and hits very hard.  It is fairly forgiving, unless you are bowling on a pattern that is extremely over-under.  I would recommend this ball for any bowler.  It has worked for my on all different patterns.

Pin above the bridge, cg down the midline to clear the heads and store up energy and man does it ever.  One of the smoothest solid particles I have ever had the pleasure of throwing.  This one is a winner on a fresh house shot or when you need to get in and wheel it around the junk.

Pin centered below bridge, Cg swung out with no weight hole. A quality ball built by track. Like to read the midlane and soft snap, but roll out quickly after. Light pocket hits are money and the carry overall is good. Ive had a lot of fun with this ball. Compared to a similar drill Triton. It gets less length and snap, but more overall hook and carries light shots much better.

I just bought this ball because I wanted to try a ball a little more aggressive than my Scout Reactive. I didn't get a chance to practice with this ball except for the 10 min. of practice before our league game. All I can say is...WOW! I bowled a 169,160,and a 176. Not bad for a beginner with a 129 average. I don't know ball terminology so I can't say how the guy at the proshop drilled the ball.
