Review:
The Arctic Sniper is a great looking ball that does exactly what it was designed to do. The Arctic is a non-reactive urethane ball that is not traditional. Most of us who remember the older urethanes and even newer urethanes such as the Tank saw an early predictable roll. These balls where great on dry but where not considered a spare ball. The Arctic Sniper really shines as a straighter spare shooter. The cover on the Arctic is highly polished and almost has a pearl look to it. Although the ball is mostly white it does not get very dirty and cleans easily. The Arctic has slightly more grab than a plastic ball, but I feel this helps keep the ball from squirting away from target. I have much more confidence shooting a spare with the Arctic Sniper than a plastic ball. The Arctic Sniper is already selling well in our area and is a must have for Motiv fans.
I use this ball on any lane condition without hesitation to shoot spares. It hooks just enough for accuracy and will never over react. For fun I used the Arctic Sniper on a lane that did not see oil in a while and it can be used as a first ball if required. The ball hits better than plastic due to the core being slightly lower than a traditional pancake and the upgrade from plastic to urethane in the cover stock. I also have a Rev Dominate bowler with a lot of side roll and back problems that cannot generate speed. The Arctic lets them keep the ball on line and performs better than the plastic they used most of the time until now.
The color combination is awesome! Motiv bowling balls have a ton of shelf and ball return appeal.
Summary:
A very good spare ball.
Looks great and cleans easily.
Can be a first ball if required.
Instills more confidence than plastic.
Another great color combination.
