The pearl Sigma Sting™ is tuned for medium oil, making it an incredible benchmark ball. It provides great length and a smooth, but angular backend motion that continues confidently through the pin deck. This is the first time MOTIV has put a pearl cover stock around the Sigma™ core.

The Sigma™ Sting from MOTIV™ is an incredibly versatile benchmark weapon that will be used by a wide array of bowlers. It is a must-have piece for bowlers building a solid tournament arsenal. It also provides the perfect shape for many league bowlers that need something angular, but not too jumpy on a house shot.

Review:

I punched up my Sigma Sting with my favorite layout (55 X 4 1/2 X 40) which is with the pin just slightly over my bridge. I have been trying something different here lately and it seems to be working out. I have been putting my favorite layout in every new ball produced by Motiv. I normally play around with different layouts versus using my favorite layout all the time. By doing this I am able to let the core and cover be the difference in ball reaction. Its more helpful because I am truly learning my arsenal and Motiv's product line better than ever before. The Sigma Sting has not dissapointed at all, thats for sure. I love how the Sting can be the first ball out of my bag and tell me exactly where I need to be. Whether its moving a few boards left or right, or perhaps moving up to a Motiv Cruel Intent or down to Motiv Tribal. This decision is made considering variables such as lane condition, lane surface, and etc. The Sigma Sting is very clean through the front part of the lane with a strong read in the midlane with a smooth but angular reaction in the backend. It is not as angular as the Tribal for me but its definitely more predictable, which is great when your encountering too much over under on the lanes. Compared to our very popular Sigma Tour, the Sigma Sting gets much more length and has a quicker response to friction (more angular). The Sigma Tour is much smoother overall than the Sting. But the Sting does make a great compliment to the Tour if the tour begins hooking to early. The Sigma Sting has earned the right of becoming my "benchmark" ball. Which is great because thats exactly what Motiv advertises it to be. They hit it right on the head! Don't waste anymore time and order yours today! Its time to Strike Up a Buzz and Get MOTIVated!!!!
