The Sigma Tour was designed for medium oil.Most bowlers will use
it as their benchmark/first ball out of their bag ball.

This Sigma Tours medium low rg core and new Atomix cover lets
it lope through the front part of the lane,which helps it store the
energy for the breakpoint. The smoothness through the heads is
insane.The smoothness through the heads will let you keep the
ball straighter through the front part of the lane to start.

The Sigma Tour has a very strong midlane roll.This reaction is so
defined and strong for a ball that gets through the front part of
the lane so easy.
The key to the Sigma Tour is the energy stored for the downlane
movement.The Sigma has a medium response to the friction at
the breakpoint.The breakpoint shape is very a very heavy arc.That
has a long and strong continuous movement.Yet controllable
and predictable.
When the lanes transition from fresh to open,the Sigma performs just
as well.When you need to move deeper the ball corners with ease.
Carrydown doesn't give the Sigma any problems.The Sigma shines
out a variety of patterns and conditions.The Sigma is a must for everyone.

MOTIV has taken a giant step with their last two releases;the QZ2
Backdraft and the Raptor P7.With the release of the Sigma Tour,they
have filled the gap between those two.If you are looking for a three ball
arsenal,you have it here.Throw in the RX1 Silver for dry lanes and spares
and you have a complete arsenals for most conditions.
