Likes: MOTIV’s latest release filled up a nice spot in my arsenal. I decided to drill mine with a RICO layout. I knew with the current surface of 1000 wet sand that this ball would want to read the lane early so I drilled mine RICO to give me a smooth but strong continuous motion on heavy volume sport shots. I was hoping to get a similar reaction to what I have with my Raptor but a tad stronger and that is exactly what I got. The Sigma Hybrid gives me a slightly stronger backend motion (even with the RICO layout) and 2 to 4 more boards of overall hook compared to my Raptor. This is a great piece on sport patterns when you need to keep your line and angle tighter without the worry of the ball overreacting when it hits the friction. As with every MOTIV piece I have thrown now the carry is unbelievable! I also like to use mine on the house shot once the transition happens and I need to move inside as I see superior carry with the Sigma Hybrid. Another gem from MOTIV!
