Roto Grip MVP Attitude Bowling Ball

(35 reviews) Write a Review
Cover. The VTC-H20 Hybrid reactive coverstock showcases our latest advancements in chemical engineering. Our R&D Team worked to create a hybrid material that creates more midlane traction while not losing responsiveness to friction. Core. From conception to present day, the Neutron NXT Core stands to be one of, if not these most performance in its price point. Medium to higher RG provide tumble and length, while the medium core differential provides change of direction down lane where you need it most. Condition. Engineered for those Medium Oil Conditions, the MVP Attitude will provide an outstanding option for when you need a ball to clear the front of lane, not skid as far as a pearl, yet still react nicely to friciton.

    The MVP Attitude is a hybrid release in the HP2 line of balls from Roto Grip. Loving the MVP pearl i decided to give this a try. Boy do i love the shape of this ball. The pear was super angular for me down lane and at times over under. The attitude is a little sooner for me and controlled which is a nice compliment to the pearl. This ball will fit in great to any bag as fill for a reliable predictable when things are getting tough. Considering the price range its a easy choice

    MVP Attitude from RotoGrip. I bought this ball to pair with my MVP Pearl. Layout 4x4x2 on both balls. The MVP Attitude was created to be an earlier version of the already popular and successful MVP line of balls. I could start the night with the Attitude and when it would get to be too much I could step down to the Pearl very easily. The MVP Attitude is one of the best bang for the buck balls out there as RotoGrip has released another budget friendly ball with a ton of hook.

    Here to talk a little about the roto grip mvp attitude,first off I really enjoy the mvp pearl and original mvp 2 great bowling balls at a great price point.When I got to punch my mvp attitude I was excited to see what this ball brings to the lanes.After throwing this ball I saw a lot more roll in the midlane and control ball reaction,alot different shape then other 2 for sure.I kind of like the colour choice simple nothing to out of this world lol,this ball will be in my bag for sure for more tournament patterns when looking for a lot a midlane reaction and the heavier volume to,hit this ball with little bit more pad and be great ball to start with.Roto grip keeps producing great products cant wait to see what comes out next.

    The MVP Attitude is a hybrid release in the HP2 line of balls from Roto Grip. The Attitude uses the same Neutron NXT weight block that was in the previous two MVP releases which yields an Rg of 2.55 and a differential of 0.040 in 15lb balls. This version has a stronger cover than the previous two MVPs, called VTC-H20 and comes from the factory with 3000 grit abralon finish. The color combination of golden pearl, violet pearl, and purple solid makes for a two parts pearl to one part solid cover. I drilled the MVP Attitude with a 4.5" pin and a 2.5" pin buffer. Comparing the Attitude to my original MVP (4.5 X 2), the Attitude hooks earlier and has more backend continuation. The more aggressive cover and box finish of the Attitude allows it to handle more oil than the first MVP (polished cover and also a hybrid). Comparing the Attitude to my MVP pearl (5 X 2), the Attitude slows down quicker, has a more rounded shape through the backend. The little longer pin buffer seems to allow the Attitude to not spin up too fast, which rounds off the shape downlane and creates more continuation. The cover on the Attitude is fairly aggressive for a lower price point ball. Even with the factory surface of 3000 grit, the Attitude doesn't slow down too soon, allowing for downlane change of direction. I have kept the surface finish at around the same matte finish that the 3000 abralon box finish produces. The MVP Attitude is a ball that can give the user some decent board coverage without breaking the bank on a high end ball. I like how the Attitude fits in the bag. It is a ball that I can move left if I need more dry boards to get it to slow down, or can chase the pattern in, and still get the ball to corner and face up toward the pocket. The MVP Attitude has a nice amount of pattern coverage, which is something that I look for when filling in my arsenal. Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the MVP Attitude. As always with Roto Grip, OWN IT!

    Roto Grip has some of the best balls for the price and the MVP Attitude may be the most ball for the price. The newest addition to the MVP is much stronger than the previous released. It is listed as an HP2 ball but if you didn't know it you wouldn't believe it. This is the strongest HP2 ball I have thrown. This ball revs slow, reads midlane, and brings a smooth/strong turn with a lot of power behind it. If you're looking for a ball that's a step up from a Hustle this ball is a great choice!

    Roto Grip's history of fun per dollar success continues with the MVP Attitude! With an updated version of the original MVP's cover, the MVP Attitude changes things up a bit as well with a 3000-grit factory sanded surface. The familiar Neutron NXT core from the MVP and MVP Pearl makes its return though, which brings a ton of familiarity in how the ball responds downlane. If you want something with a bit more traction and blend than an MVP or MVP Pearl... this ball is for you! If you want something that'll roll heavier through the pins but provide a similar level of strength to an !Q Tour Solid... this ball is for you! If you want to only bring one ball to league and just have some fun bowling... this ball is for you!

    Roto Grip MVP Attitude Cover: VTC-H20 Hybrid Core: Neutron NXT Roto Grip has some of the best balls for the price and the MVP Attitude may be the most ball for the price. The 3rd ball in the MVP line and easily the strongest of the group. It is listed as an HP2 ball but if you didn't know it you wouldn't believe it. This is the strongest HP2 ball I have thrown. This ball revs slow, reads midlane, and brings a smooth/strong turn with a lot of power behind it. It reminds me of the Storm Super Soniq, a favorite of mine. Add the MVP Attitude to the Hustle PBR and you have a great house shot 1-2 punch at a great price.

    This MVP really reads the midlane for me as good as anything I have in the bag. The combination of the midlane and a little slower response then the rest of my arsenal gives me an option I really didn't have. Even with those characteristics the carry is as good as any other ball I have.

    The latest addition to the HP2 line at Roto Grip is the MVP Attitude. After drilling the MVP pearl and having a lot of success with it, I was excited to see a solid version of the MVP be added. The Attitude fits nicely in the line between the high performance balls that are typically used on fresh patterns and the Hustle series which is normally used when patterns blend out or there's more friction on the lane. The MVP Attitude can be a successful ball for all types of players. I've drilled one Attitude so far and think it rolls great. I mapped it out as 4.5 x 4 and I left the surface alone. With an RG of 2.55 and a differential of 0.040, the Attitude digs hard in the mid-lane and has a slower response time compared to other balls such as the MVP pearl, Hustle RAP, and Axiom pearl. I've had the most success with the Attitude when the lanes are a bit flatter and the high performance balls simply read the lane too early. I've seen all styles and rev-rates have success with the MVP Attitude. If you feel like you have a gap between your UFO, Axiom, and Hustle RAP, the MVP Attitude should be the next ball you drill.

    The Roto Grip MVP Attitude is impressively strong ball at the HP2 line pricepoint. It reads the lane very well, gets through the fronts clean, reads the midlane well and has a strong finish on the backend. It allows me to use a lower end ball on the fresh. The MVP Attitude is the ball to use early then to switch to the MVP or MVP Pearl as they dry out. Hitting Power is great like every Roto Grip Ball.

    Ball Specs: Roto Grip MVP Attitude Coverstock Type Hybrid Reactive Weight Block Neutron NXT™ Core (Symmetrical) Violet / Golden / Purple Finish 3000-grit Layout 45 x 4 x 45 Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5" Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at cameras 15.5 Review: The Roto Grip MVP Attitude is really a fun ball to roll. The colors are vibrant which gives it a unique look going down the lane. The ball motion is well suited for medium conditions but this ball takes surface adjustments as good as any ball I have ever seen. You can have multiple looks by adding surface or smoothing out and adding polish. The MVP Attitude makes a sharp back end move that bowlers want to see and provides excellent carry. This may be the best preforming ball for the price point available right now. If you buy an Attitude you will get a lot of bang for the buck. We have drilled this ball for many styles with great success. We even had a senior lady shoot her first two 600 series in over a year within two weeks after buying this ball. I have already had some nice scores with this ball just rolling it here and there to see what it is capable of. The Attitude has impressed me with how I can get more or less hook than box with surface changes and alter the shape. The Attitude hooks a bit more than my Wild Streak and has more back end. I put the total hook of this ball between my Hustle PBR and Rubicon. I will put this ball up against higher priced balls any time for performance and score. Summary: The Attitude is a nice addition to the MVP Line. The look of the ball is unique and eye catching. The Attitude may be the best buy in bowling balls available.

    Introducing Roto Grips newest addition to the MVP line, the MVP Attitude! The MVP Attitude features the VTC-H20 Hybrid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Neutron NXT Core. I am definitely a big fan of this ball! This ball reads the midlanes and,retains plenty of energy for the backends and, continues through the pins. I personally like to use this ball when I need something to get through the fronts cleanly and, isn't to jumpy off the spot

    The MVP Attitude is the latest of the MVP line and to me is the best. The Attitude gives me great control down lane on medium oil patterns. What stands out most to me is the versatility. My Attitude is drilled with the pin under ring finger (4.5" to PAP) and with this layout gives me medium length and medium response. To me the Attitude reminds me of the Wild Streak but just a smaller piece.

    Roto Grip MVP Attitude Layout: 60 x 1 ½" x 35 I drilled my MVP Attitude with one thing in mind: control and aggressive mid lane roll for fresh lanes with dry backends. A "control ball" was something that was missing from my arsenal, and this ball (with this layout) fills that need. I am able to keep my lines tight and "down & in" when the fronts are juicy and the backends are flying. Admittedly, the short pin layout does limit the versatility of the Attitude for me – it does not allow me to get left and open the lane up. When the fronts start to hook, I switch to the MVP Pearl or Electrify Hybrid. Mike LeViner

    The MVP line has been the best thing since the wreckers. I didn't think that roto grip could do any better then the wreckers and to my surprise this whole series just keeps getting better and better. The attitude is a hybrid finished at 3000 which makes it still responsive off the spot. The Attitude colors remind me of the bezerk, but with way more overall motion.

    I drilled my MVP ATTITUDE up 55 x 4.5 x 30. I left it box finish which is 3000 abralon. This is usually my go to lay out for most gear I drill up. This was highly recommended by my ball driller as he has drilled a couple for himself and likes them both. He said this one is a sleeper. I used my MVP ATTITUDE on some house shots around 38-40 feet and also in a PBA50 Regional. I brought it out when the lanes started to get a little chopped up in the track and needed to get some push with good down lane motion. That is exactly what I got out of it. I put my MVP ATTITUDE against some others like the ELECTRIFY PEARL and MVP PEARL. The MVP ATTITUDE is definitely earlier motion on the lane than both the ELECTRIFY AND MVP PEARLS. The MVP PEARL had more down lane shape, but the ATTITUDE had a good motion also. The MVP ATTITUDE should be a good pick up for players looking for a ball that you can leave with a smoother dull surface (2000-4000 abr) on and get more length than the big cover balls like the AXIOM or RG UFO but still get good motion before you pull out the pearls or low diff balls like the IQ TOUR.

    Bowler Bio Gender : Female Rev Rate : 315 Ball Speed: 16.5 mph P.A.P : 4 3/16 over 7/16 up The MVP Attitude is by far my favourite of the 3 from the hp2 line. Not taking anything away from the others, I just found that this matched up with my style the best. The attitude comes out of box at 3000 grit finish which has more grit then the original MVP or the MVP Pearl, it's cover helps it get into a roll early through the front part of the lane and finish strong through the pins. I was pleasantly surprised with how strong this ball was with it being a "medium" end ball. If you're looking for great performance and not looking to spend a fortune, the Attitude won't disappoint, this ball is definitely the best bang for your buck.

    MVP Attitude - 80 x 2 1/2 x 25 - 1500 grit pad - VTC-H20 hybrid reactive coverstock Testing condition: 44ft Mo Pinel created THS on older SPL ( earlier 2000's). What the leagues started up, I thought to drill this ball similar to my MVP that I used last year in the league. It was sanded to 2000 as I needed to slow up more in the front part of the lane. With the updated cover of VTC-H20 and the proven Neutron NXT core, this ball is actually stronger than my Wild Streak from the mid lane to the back end. Having the pin 2 1/2 inches from my PAP kept the flare down and allowed a more consistent backend and roll on it. Did not jump off of the pattern like the OG MVP would even at 2000 grit. It has purple in the coverstock which even makes me happier! Will be a great benchmark ball like the IQ Tour Solid, or even the Idol!

    Roto grip's new addition to the MVP Line is the brand new MVP Attitude! This ball features the VTC-H20 Hybrid Reactive Coverstock wrapped around the Neutron NXT Core! This is the earliest of the balls in the MVP Line with it coming out of the box at 3000 Grit surface! My MVP Attitude is drilled pin over my bridge cg kicked which is about 4 1/2 inches away from my PAP! First impressions on this piece is that for an HP2 line ball it reads the midlane very well and retains energy through the pins! I'm personally a big fan of the MVP and MVP Pearl and this is a great compliment to that once your MVP or MVP Pearl isn't hooking quite early enough!

    Drilling 45x4x65 rev rate 450 ball speed 17 PAP 3 ¾ right 1 up I went with this layout to help worth with this balls natural attributes with the VTC coverstock used on the Hustle PBR we saw better control. So I went with a medium pin down layout to replace my mvp solid from last year. I was looking for a ball to read the lanes a bit more in the mids and not give up in the oil but not be a boat anchor in the friction. In comes the MVP line, amazing hook potential for the price point and reliability I can trust on a wide variety of lane conditions.

    Layout 45x4x65 rev rate 275 ball speed 14 mph PAP 4 ½ right and 1 up I chose this layout is to give me a better look on medium conditions to transition from my Idol Solid, which shares the same layout, I'm about 5 boards different overall but I get a very similar ball motion overall. The Idols being just a little earlier with the lower RG and higher diff. The MVP brings much higher RG and lower differential giving me an awesome balance for medium conditions.

    I was very excited for the MVP Attitude's release because of how much I liked the MVP Pearl. To me, the Attitude picks up a couple feet sooner and covers more boards overall. I generally use the MVP Pearl once the lanes start to break down, but with the MVP Attitude, you don't have to. You can use this ball on medium to heavy oil conditions as well as some lighter conditions. For me it is very versatile and allows me to play multiple angles on a variety of patterns. The control of this ball reminds me a lot of the Wild Streak which is one of my current favorites. This control gives you a predictable motion while still being strong through the pins.

    Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 4" Over 0 up Rev Rate 400, Average Tilt, low Axis Rotation. Speed at cameras 16.5 – 17 Layout: 65 x 4.75 x 35 (pin above ring finger) Review: Incredible Bang for your buck! On the 3 oil patterns I was able to test this ball on (between 39' and 43' feet), I couldn't believe the performance I got out of a ball at this price point. Plenty of hook even on the 43 foot pattern. Typically on a fresh house pattern, you encounter too much bounce off the dry and too much skid in the middle. I didn't find any of that with this ball. It blended the fresh shot out amazingly well. The 2 part pearl, 1 part solid, allowed the ball to get through the first third of the lane easy, read the mids like it was supposed to, and finished really strong. It was very smooth and heavy rolling through the pins. This ball can be a first ball out of the bag for 75% of league bowlers. Paired with the MVP pearl, they would be a 1-2 punch that would be near impossible to beat. This is a killer ball for anyone looking for a benchmark type reaction without putting a huge dent in your wallet. Ron D'Ambrosio Storm Amateur Staff #StormNation #SquadRG #Rdamballreviews

The Attitude is the ANSWER! The MVP Attitude is a good 3-4 feet earlier and much smoother at the breakpoint, but still plenty of backend. I can see the MVP 'Tude as the first ball out of the bag, and then the MVP Pearl as the go to in transition. An amazing 1 – 2 combo!

    Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation Ball Layout: 45 x 4 x 30 Finish: 4000 – Lane shine The motion of the previous MVP's, I felt didn't fit my game as I saw more chuggy and snap off the pattern motion. HOWEVER, after previewing some videos of the MVP Attitude's motion, I had to give it a shot......boy I'm super glad I did!!!! Roto got this hybrid right with 2 parts pearl, 1 part solid, it completely reminds me of a stronger Wrecker, a ball I absolutely loved. I put a 4" pin on it just above my ring finger and saw a very predictable motion with phenomenal carry. As I moved in, the ball kept continuation and carry, will be great on medium conditions. The more I got oil into the ball, the better it got as OOB was a bit strong for me but got better after 5th game with it. The bottom line, this is maybe my new benchmark ball that will be an absolute house shot killer!!!! This is a lot of ball for the price that you cannot pass up!
