- Allegiant Sniper

First Impressions
The Motiv Allegiant Sniper presents itself as an orange pearl ball with a striking look. The ball uses Motiv's TruShot Polythane technology along with the proven Hollow-Point core. The specs show a 2.68 RG, a low differential of .010 and a 5500 LSP surface. The TruShot Polythane coverstock combines the characteristics of polyester with the durability of urethane. This hybrid technology should merge the advantages of both materials while retaining the typical ball motion of a classic spare ball.
Comparison
The Allegiant Sniper travels straight to the pins like a traditional polyester ball, but offers the durability of urethane. Compared to pure polyester balls such as the Storm Ice or the Brunswick T-Zone, the TruShot technology gives it improved longevity. The Hollow-Point core should deliver precise accuracy, which sets it apart from the standard pancake cores found in other spare balls. Unlike many manufacturers, Motiv uses the same core design in every weight class and avoids generic cores in the lighter balls. This consistency across all weights is an advantage over many competing models.
On the Lanes
The Allegiant Sniper is built precisely for accurate spare shots and is primarily suited to picking off standing pins. Interestingly, the ball can also be used as a strike ball on extremely dry lane conditions. That versatility makes it a valuable addition for bowlers of every skill level. With its low hook tendency, it is especially well suited to straight shots at difficult spare combinations. Users describe it as one of the best spare balls on the market. The TruShot Polythane cover promises a longer service life than conventional polyester balls, which should justify the higher purchase price.
