Motiv Sigma Hybrid Bowling Ball

The Bowler: Ball speed = 17 Rev Rate = 400 PAP = 5 ¾, 3/8 up The Ball: Motiv Sigma Hybrid Surface = 1000 light polish The Sigma Hybrid is the strongest symmetric ball ever produced in the Motiv line, rating just under my Raptor P7 in overall hook. The biggest difference from the Raptor to the Sigma hybrid is the hook shape. The Raptor has more of a pronounced asymmetric shape (sharper breakpoint) and the hybrid is smoother but super strong off friction. I’ve found the Hybrid to shine on medium to long flat sport patterns, but for me it also shines on normal house shots. Both types of patterns have a smooth midlane but tones of continuation on the backend. If you loved the Sigma Tour you’ll love the Hybrid for more oil. I would also recommend this ball for strokers looking for the same sigma tour reaction that the tweeners have. Personally I’ve been using this ball more than any other at this point due to the ball control and fantastic power. In closing the sigma hybrid has a strong controlled reaction for medium heavy oil with the award winning sigma tour reaction.

INNER CORE: Sigma™ COVERSTOCK: Atomix™ Hybrid Reactive FINISH: 1000 Wet Sand 15# SPECS: RG: 2.47, DIFF: .047 CONDITION: MEDIUM-HEAVY OIL Ball Layout - 30 X 5 X 50 The new Diablo Red and Charcoal Pearl Sigma Hybrid is built on award winning technology from the Sigma Tour, which won 1st place as the Most Versatile Ball of 2011 in the BTM Reader's Choice Awards. While the Hybrid edition does feature the same proven core design, the cover technology and box finish provide a different zone of performance. Designed for medium-heavy oil, the Sigma Hybrid reads earlier and provides a smoother ball motion. League bowlers that are rev-challenged or speed dominant will appreciate the strength of the Sigma Hybrid on a fresh house shot. Tournament bowlers will use it on medium-heavy volume sport patterns to destroy the rack. Review: In my opinion, you simply can not go wrong when you use the already proven Sigma core. I have had my Sigma Hybrid for a while now and I must say this ball is an absolute tank! The Sigma Hybrid comes out of box with 1000 wet sand. What I see from the Sigma Hyrid compared to the Sigma Tour is a much stronger read up front and in the midlane. The Sigma Tour is more angular in the backend. I felt 1000 wet sand was to much surface my typical house shot here in Waldorf, MD. So I brought the surface up to 2000 with polish. What an amazing difference it made for me. The ball is much cleaner through the front part of the lane without sacrificing strong midlane read and an incredible strong continous backend reaction. I threw it last night on the WTBA Paris and shot 937 for 4 games. Paris is a 47ft lower volume sport pattern and the Sigma Hybrid absolutely wacked it!

Ball Information- Inner core-Sigma(symmetrical) Coverstock-Atomix Hybrid Cover Finish OOB 1000 wet/sand 15 lb RG- 2.47, Diff.-.047 Color-Diablo red/charocoal pearl The new MOTIV Sigma Hybrid has the new Atomix Hybrid cover. It's the strongest ever used on a Sigma core.The low RG gets the Sigma Hybrid into a early roll,but the ball still gets through the heads without too much effort.The early roll helps smooth -out the ball at the backend. The Sigma Hybrid has a strong read of the midlane and a very continuous motion at the breakpoint. When the Sigma Hybrid encounters friction at the breakpoint, it has a very heavy ,but consistent move toward the pocket.There is never a overreaction.Very predictable and easy to read. The motion to the friction is quicker when at 4000 and highly polished. The Sigma Hybrid is stronger throughout the entire lane than the Sigma Tour.This is a very nice compliment to the Sigma Tour. This ball is best suited for oily mediums.Just move inside the oil line and this ball shines. http://www.motivbowling.com Angela Wilt -MOTIV Staff Member MOTIV GIRL

Lane Condition: USBC OPEN PATTERN Layout: 45*x 4”x35* Using the award winning Sigma core, Motiv has strengthened their line-up with the new Sigma Hybrid. The combination of the Sigma core (2.47 RG, .047 Diff), with the new Atomix Hybrid coverstock has created a ball that has no issues giving you the controllable, aggressive ball motion you want in heavier volumes of oil. The New Hybrid and Sigma tour will give any bowler a GREAT 1-2 punch on any lane condition. While The Hybrid is more aggressive overall than the Tour. The Hybrid even with the stronger cover still has no problem getting through the heads before giving me a very strong midlane read and smooth but powerful backend.Every pattern that I have thrown this ball on it has excelled and has became my BENCHMARK ball. When the lanes are broken down the ball is still clean enough to get down to my breakpoint and retain enough energy to make a strong, continuous motion through the pins Here is a link to my YoutTube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U02Jx29a7IQ&feature=g-upl&context=G2eca0d3AUAAAAAAAAAA Also be sure to check out www.motivbowling.com Dustin “DB” Baker – Motiv Regional Staff

The Sigma Hybrid has a brand new coverstock wrapped around the versatile core used in the Sigma Tour. I drilled mine 60* x 5 1/2” x 40* which is one of my favorite layouts. At the box finish, this ball begins it’s move about 2 or 3 feet sooner than the original Sigma, and hooks about 3 or 4 more boards total for me. This ball has a real nice, even arcing motion. On a house shot, I’m able to play further inside (both with my feet and target) with the Sigma Hybrid…which allows for a more consistent reaction. When I pull the ball a little inside of target, I find that the coverstock on this ball holds the pocket really well, without diving through the nose. Here is a link of me bowling with my Sigma Hybrid on my bowling center’s house shot, the Kegel Main Street Pattern. In this video, I also roll a Sigma Tour, for comparison purposes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvQhknr-4Rg I can’t wait to try this ball out on heavier sport patterns. We’re all looking for a predictable ball on the tougher shots, and everything I’ve seen so far has shown me that this ball is just that. The even arcing motion is just the ticket to keeping the ball in play in a lower scoring environment.

This is an outstanding release from MOTIV. It has the awesome sigma core with a super hybrid cover wrapped around it. If you liked the Sigma Tour, this ball will be a great compliment to it. It's smoother off the friction and overall a little stronger than the Tour. Here's my video for the Sigma Hybrid. I hope you find it useful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nivo3CDvG_Q&feature=youtu.be Motiv staff member, Josh Stephens. www.motivbowling.com

SIGMA HYBRID---Release Date 4/13/12 The Sigma Hybrid is THAT piece I as a Regional Tour player have been longing for. It’s the piece of my Arsenal that I can go to for the added OIL flip and corner turning I desire. Its strong through the front like the Raptor but provides that added angle and strong turn that my Raptor doesn’t for me. Its out of box 1000 grit finish allows me to move a bit deeper into the oil pattern and provides the recovery room right into the friction. This ball is the real deal for many conditions from your typical house shot to the toughest tour conditions. The proven SIGMA core provides one more tool for the serious bowler and expands on that already incredible technology with a piece for the Cranker in all of us! Don’t miss this one –If you like your Sigma Tour you will love this one!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN7kW-Eh-0Q Rick Zakrajsek MOTIV STAFF www.motivbowling.com
