Review:
The amount of hook this ball provides really surprised me. It was just under my Raptor P7. The Sigma Hybrid is a very strong arc type ball where the P7 has much more of a angular backend. This ball will be great on flatter shots, tournament shots or sport shots where control is key. I don't think this will be my first choice on a THS.
I however tested this ball on our typical house shot (THS) and even though I would have had a better look with a Sigma Tour or Thrash the Sigma Hybrid did work well. It carried some light hits that I thought would be a challenge. I used the Sigma Hybrid with the box surface and later with 2000 wet sand then Polish. (I used the box finish for the video)The polish gave me a few more feet but I did not give up any control. The ball maintained its arching motion. The polish will help to get the weak ten out if it burns too early at box finish.

Summary:
Alot of hook with control.
This is a must have for the tournament bowler who bowls on flat, oily lanes.
The more I bowled with the Sigma Hybrid the more I liked it.
Polishes well but maintains the same motion, just later.
This ball may have the same core as the Sigma Tour but is a completely different animal.
