Roto Grip Attention Star S2 Bowling Ball

Roto Grip Attention Star S2 Coverstock: 2000 grit eTrax™ PLUS Hybrid Reactive Core: Momentous™ A.I. Core (Asymmetrical) Color: Berry/Silver/Black Aqua Review: Sequence 2 is here! The original Attention Star is one of our best balls of 2024 picks. It was heavily featured during the ladder half of the PBA tour season and the sequel is just as good in our opinion. We love asymmetrical hybrid covers from SPI. It has always been one of our favorite reactions on our house shot and many other centers in the Pacific Northwest and if you follow SPI releases you’ll know as of late they havn’t shown asymmetrical hybrids much love, only releasing the Magic Gem during the last several months. Our style: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This is a great piece on multiple patterns. It blends the lane extremely well on the fresh and we actually can stay in this piece longer than we anticipated. The first couple weeks of league using this we didn’t even have to transition out of it which is kind of surprising as we normally lose pin carry or are forced too far left. We see this ball being the first or second out of your bag for both league and tournament players. I am sure you will be seeing a lot of this ball as the PBA looks to start its pre season play. Another great release from Roto Grip! Kyle, Joel, & Dean Johnson Roto Grip Pro Shop Staffers joel@parklanes.net kyle@parklanes.net dean@frontierfuncenter.net www.RotoGrip.com #SquadRG

Roto Grip Attention Star Sequence 2 Coverstock: eTrax + Hybrid Reactive Finish: 2000 Grit 2000 Core: Momentous AV + A.I. (14 pd) RG: 2.53 Differential: 0.046 Int Diff: 0.014 Layout: 2 x 6 x 5 - 2LS Layout Extras: 3 Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The Attention Star Sequence Two features the Momentous Altered Variant + Amplified Inertia Core Technology. Basically what this means is Roto Grip has taken a core previously featured internationally and brought it to the states with a few upgrades. This ball pour is also quite stunning in its color combinations. The ball intent is to create a ball motion not readily seen in the SPI line of bowling balls. In comparison to my Roto Grip Attention Star and my Roto Grip X-Cell I believe this ball will be exceptional on longer and higher volume patterns. For me, the Attention Star is a bit quick and forward on THS so it found most of its use on sport patterned conditions. The X-Cell is a tough ball to overtake in my current arsenal. It's been my go to on patterned conditions and is good in league too. The S2 is a bit more rounded and will provide a good controlled and continuous reaction. Will it compliment the X-Cell over time? I can't say at the current time. I do like what I see from the S2 and look forward to evaluate further at upcoming SPI MatchMaker events as well. Also, I want to get the S2 on some higher volume patterns and see the range this ball has as transition occurs. For me, I really desire an option for sport and league patterns where control is the key, yet I want to have some asym options as a thumbless player. The Attention Star I did take some of the Reacta Gloss off and will try it with Power Edge. As for the S2, I will let some lane shine on the ball to get it through the fronts a bit easier. I feel the Attention Star S2 is going to see a lot of play like the Attention Star did on PBA tour last year. As noted, the cover comes out at 2000 Grit Abralon from the factory. I'm going to "create" some shine with water and a rag on the spinner. Be sure to grab an Attention Star Sequence Two (S2) today. It might just be the look you want when coming off of your big asym balls in the arsenal. Michael Slatky 900 Global Staff Member York, PA

The Roto Grip Attention Star S2 is the newest release from Roto and comes with the eTrax Plus Hybrid Reactive, Momentous AV + A.I. Core, and 2000-grit Abralon. This ball is a hybrid version of the Attention Star and when I say that it is exactly that. It shapes like the Star but is a bit earlier and can handle more oil. This is a great second ball for this line. I compared the S2 to the original Star and as you expect, it is a ball up from the Star. It is just a ball up from the Star and when the S2 is hooking too much you can move into the Star. And same with the Star, when it is not quite enough you can switch to the S2. This is a home run from Roto and will be a great one two combo. Ball review link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZTCz6l-sMg&t=2s Tobias Myers #RotoGrip #SquadRG

I Drilled the New Roto Grip Attention Star S2 5x4x2 using the storm vls layout system. This layout allows the ball to blend out the lane nicely and allows me to open my angles using stronger equipment. The Attention Star s2 is the follow up to the widely regarded “Ball of the year: attention star. The s2 features the eTrax PLUS Hybrid cover stock paired with the Momentous AV Ai core. The s2 give you the same ball of the year motion, but a touch earlier. I compared this ball to the Ion Pro and had the s2 slotted a spot higher in a tournament bag due to the ball rolling a bit earlier than the ion pro. I personally have this ball as a ball 2 in a 6-ball tournament bag. This is a good step down from your Harsh Reality’s, Gems, Ion Max’s etc. I highly recommend picking one up on November 22nd!

As bowlers, when we start on fresh we are looking for a ball to give us a predictable motion so we can find out how much friction is to the right, how much oil is in the middle and how fast we are going to have to move. This BALL does ALL OF THAT! The Attention star was a great ball with the big core and weak cover it allowed the ball to be clean but very violent off the spot. But when you had a little bit too much volume the ball didnt look good. This improves on all of that. With the same core but an upgraded HYBRID version. This allows the ball to retain that cleanness, but with the solid additive, allows the ball to pick up in the mid lane and still be very continuous, not angular but continuous off the spot. Its a great ball to start on the fresh with and then ball down to the original attention star when this ball gets to early.

Roto Grip Attention Star S2 Layout: 4.5 x 4 x 1.75 Storm Pin Buffer Layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center IKON Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Roto Grip Attention Star S2 utilizes the eTrax + Hybrid cover along with the Momentous plus AI Core. The AS2 is earlier and stronger than the OG Attention Star. The AS2 should be a good No. 1 or 2 ball in your tournament bag depending on your style.

The Attention Star S2 features the same core found in the OG but is now wrapped in the eTrax plus hybrid with a textured finish. This produces a slightly earlier and rounder shape compared to the original. The S2 for me is the perfect 2nd ball out of my bag when my Harsh Reality and Ion Max is too much ball.

The Roto Grip Attention Star S2 improves on the original Attention Star by incorporating the eTrax™ PLUS Hybrid coverstock, which offers a blend of solid and pearl reactive materials for better traction through the mid-lane and a stronger, more controlled backend motion. While the original Attention Star was known for its solid performance on medium-heavy oil, with its eTrax™ Hybrid coverstock providing a smooth yet reliable backend, the S2 takes this a step further with improved response to lane friction and a more aggressive finish. Additionally, the Momentous AV+ core in the S2 is refined to offer greater power and consistency, making it more adaptable to a variety of oil conditions, especially on longer or transitioning patterns. I like that I can throw this ball earlier in blocks than I could use the original Attention Star. The Attention Star S2 provides a more dynamic option, blending power and predictability for bowlers who need a ball that adapts well as the lanes change.
