MoRich Seek and Destroy Bowling Ball

(19 reviews) Write a Review
Designed to provide excellent skid control on heaver oil patterns yet still maintain plenty of energy to deliver a very powerful move at the breakpoint. With a new top flip block version of Vanguard Core Technology there is only one mission at hand -- Seek and Destroy! Finally a particle ball with angularity!!!!

    This ball was given to me by someone who didn't like it. I plugged and redrilled it with a negtive pitch in the thumb. I also polished it to a high gloss finish. This ball hits hard and destroys racks. My first series with this ball was 732. I can't say enough about Morich. I am currently adding the N-Sane LVRG to my arsenal. I hope it works as well as this discontinued ball. I don't know why companys get a good thing like this and then discontiue it. I guess they are just keeping up with the changes in the industry. I would definitely like to find another one that is undrilled so I could set it up a little differently.

    Great Ball! Built to hook, sucks up a lot of oil. Easy to see the track on your ball after you throw it. Great ball for medium to heavy oil. This ball flies down the lane and hooks hard to the pocket. As the lanes dry up, it will need to be thrown more towards the outside of the lane to carry. I use this ball then I switch to a reactive resin ball for light to medium oil lanes. Not much deflection at all when this ball drives through the pocket. A great ball for your arsenal! Was not too sure about a particle ball, but after throwing it, this ball is a need to have.

    MoRich has always been on the cutting edge of core and coverstock technology. But there is always one potential problem: The ball has to be drilled and surfaced for the individual bowler's game. I roll balls as old as 15 years, and as new as this season's stuff, and I've rolled a lot of MoRich equipment. If the ball is not laid out for your natural shot on your usual condition, you aren't going to get your preferred reaction. I can see this ball, more than most MoRich stuff preceding it, tracking out and dying on the backs for some, going over-under for others. A "grip it and rip it philosophy" is often the cause of such bad shots & bad results. Too many bowlers don't know how to get out of the way, finding the shot, and letting the ball and the lane create the strikes.

    THIS BALL ROLLS PREDICTABLY, HITS THE DRY AND HOPS INTO ANOTHER GEAR. I HAVE ORANGE GRIPS IN IT AND ITS FUN TO WATCH THIS BALL TRACK OUT. IT HOLDS IT'S OWN FOR THE MOST PART, OBVIOUSLY ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT AND SO IS STAYING ON TOP OF LANE CONDITIONS TO KEEP STRIKING. I WAS EXPECTING MORE OUT OF THIS BALL (HOOK WISE). I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO PLAY UP 17-20 BOARD BUT, YOU GET WHAT YOU GET. I HAVE NOHTING AGAINST MORICH, BUT I WOULD HAVE LIKED SO SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THIS PARTICLE BALL SAW MY SCOTCH BRITE PAD AND LOOKED LIKE A SNOW TIRE ROLLIN DOWN THE LANE, EVEN AFTER THE SCRATCHING, IT DIDNT MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.

    got this off ebay for $56 cuz i really wanted to try a morich. at first i hated this ball cuz it hooked very little and rolled out. then if u hit pocket it would leave alot of 10's. before giving up on it i gave it to the pro shop guy to put some surface on the cover. BINGO. totally different ball nows its sanded down to 600 grit. it didnt turn this ball into a hook monster but it made it alot more responsive and gave it that contiueous backend motion i was looking for. SEEKS AND DESTORYS the pocket now. this ball looks cool being cranked down the lane. i can hear the difference in the hit. this ball really helped fill the void between my STORM AGENT and my BRUNSWICK RIOT ZONE. it just fits perfectly in the middle. maybe oneday i will get a awesome revs or awesome finish.

    I've had this ball for almost a year now and it still has lots of games left. The price was more than I expected when I bought it (around 200 dollars discounted), but this ball was definitely worth it. It's kind of a throwback ball with a simple black color, but the lettering and design is a cool red. I actually like the way the ball looks because I get tired of seeing these mulitcolored "pretty" balls. It reminds me of when I used to roll a plastic black beauty over 20 years ago. I rolled my 1st 300 with this ball last nite, what a rush. The best part was, my dad was with me to see it. It took 25 years, but it was totally worth it! Thanks Morich.

    If you are looking for a ball that when it flips will destroy the pocket, look no further. I have always been notorious for sticking upteen 10 pins in a 3 set series. Not with this ball. It just crushes everything in site and destroys the rack. I had medium to heavy oil and polished the ball to cut down on the hook and it still tuned wide and flipped hard and destroyed the pocket. At the time I through the 300, I was standing 23 a swinging the ball out to 10. This ball leaves no doubt as to what to expect when it hits the pocket. 12 in a row in the the pocket ! ! ! !

    Specs are like my Total Annihlation, fingers are next to the pin and the Mass Bias is out 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the thumb hole. I didn't beleive a solid particle could get down the lane that far! it just glided through the heads didn't even think about going to early. Once past the oil this ball turned with incredible ease and demolished everything in front of it. This ball has alot of hook if YOU have the hand, I couldn't get left enough! S&D might be a little to strong for crankers in league I am not using it in any this season. But at tournements this ball will be golden, strong enough to handle the oil but long enough to get down the lane before hooking when the shot breaks down. The hitting power from MO keeps getting better this hit so hard and so loud I couldn't beleive it, the pins just fell down before the ball got to the pin deck. The ball has impressive drive hooks right through the pin deck and even on the return rack! SEESH! OVERALL: if you have less revs and need a

    this is a strong ball that is usually my first out of the bag. i wouldnt consider this one a monster hooker, but it can definately handle heavy oil. the seek n destroy will cover about as many boards on the back end as any particle ball to date. this ball is a great compliment to the wmb and the total shock n awe. when the total hooks to early and the weapon just wont come up, pull out the seek n destroy. this ball also adapts well to surface adjustments. i've polished the piss out of it and i sanded the knuckles of it and it still works great. my favorite line on a house shot is 33 with my feet, 17-20 at the arrows letting it leak out to about 12 at the breakpoint. i can move deep with this one and not have to worry about it not hitting. great ball. PS: those of you who have particle balls and complain they dont last dont clean them. 99% of particle balls will last if you rub them down with alcohol and just resurface them at the start of the year and u'll be fine.

    This ball is extremely angular at the break. This is something completely different than what you see from most balls designed for heavy oil conditions. Most you see what looks like a fairly lazy, early break that is continuous but just doesn't give you a jump off the break except for longer oil patterns. This ball makes a very sharp move off of the break and doesn't quit even on heavier oil conditions. I've drilled four of these balls for myself and others over the last month. We all agree that this ball is great and can make people with even the weakest hands look like a boomer

    i had the ball for maybe 2 weeks, and shot numbers with this ball, my drilling is unique, but i love this ball cause allows me to play right longer and still score high, but because the way my ball is drilled for me i can't play deep with ball, but great angle to the pocket even gives me room for error , can't say no more on how great this ball is, i'm gonna get another one cause i'm probaly gonna wear this one out quick . The ball is dulled, drilled pin under ring finger, cg is to the left, no weight hole

    This ball hooks more than any ball I've ever seen or thrown. I reccommend trying to play inside with this ball because when there is oil the ball will keep on spinning because of the core and just snap in the backend. The ball revs up very quickly. When I come in high I leave few splits and when I'm a little light I usually strike. The ball soaks up oil very, very quickly which is my biggest dislike. Other than that, this ball has given me 2x 800's, 2x 299's, and about 20x 270's in about 8 months. For a particle ball, it has a nice backend.<scr

    i attended a Morich drilling seminar and recieved this ball as a gift for attending. i drilled it up according to what Mo Pinel reccommended for me. Pin 3-3/8 from my Pap. mas bais 5-3/4 from my Pap. i left the ball in the factory 1200 grit finish for now. I first tested this ball on my late league when the lanes where medium oiled. i was able for the first two games to swing the ball 15 out to 2 and an amazing finish back to pocket. i had to put it away for the last game the lanes where just to dry. The second chance i got to throw this ball was on my sunday league on a fresh heavy pattern. Here i was able to still play 12-4 swinging it into the dry outside and still have room for more. my first complete series with the ball was 240-243-222=705. with this layout i was getting an amazing 8+ inches of flare on the ball. Mo definitely sold me on his Vanguard core and new c4+ particle coverstock. this ball out hooked my Hammer Real Deal by 4-5 boards..... This ball will be one the best ho

    I pulled this ball off the shelf to try a shorter/relaxed grip for myself. The ball had only 2.5 Top and the pin was 2 inches out. I laid it out with the pin 4.5in for the PAP and the MB 6in from the PAP. It gets down the lanes well and turns beautifully. I first put finesse on it and it was a bit jumpy on the synthetic lanes we bowl on. We bowl second shift so the lanes are a little burnt up. The shift before us didnt have anyone playing depp inside so thats where I went with it. As long as the ball found dry boards at the end it was coming back. Im not going to BS you and say I shot 300 the first or second game out with the ball. I will say that the next day on wood lanes with Guardian front ends the ball was even more impressive. I took it into the shop and pulled the finesse off and put some delayed reaction on the ball. When I went back out the ball went a touch longer and had a more angular move on the back end. Overall if you know how to read lanes and adjust with the ball this

    When you buy MoRich you know what your getting. Stong balls that help you open up then lane and the Seek and Destroy falls into that catagory. The ball hits hard and carry's well but dont think you can get inside a wheel on it to much cause the strong particle will have the ball track out. If you let the ball do what it is supposed to do you find yourself a winner with the S.A.D. A must have for MoRich fans. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15<sc

    This ball is sweet. Got The One, great ball. Seek and Destroy? Hits like a monster. I don't think there's a better ball on the market. Basically a stronger version of The One if anyone has any comparison to that ball. Starts rolling earlier and holds it's line extremely well. This ball is perfect in heavy to medium oil. I tried using it on dry lanes earlier, don't even try. Fluffed the release, still caught the lane. But if you're looking for a ball in heavy oil or even medium oil, get the ball.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Just drilled it up; sharp breakpoint. The Seek and Destroy is a ball in its own category. It gets down the lane and had a continous motion through the pins. The ball will kick down lane and drive ten in the pit. The MoRich slogan, 'see and hear the difference' truely applies. Hitting the pocket causes a great sound and great picture. Although when coming in light, the pins tend to jump too much, the pocket hits are consistant and of a higher quality. It will move in oil and still clear the dry heads. MoRich Seek & Destroy will carry the world.
