Meet the Attention Star S2 (Sequence 2)—the thrilling sequel to the original Attention Star, crafted to elevate your game to new heights. After winning over bowlers worldwide, the S2 arrives with a fresh twist on the legacy, blending familiar strengths with unique enhancements. Through extensive testing, the eTrax PLUS Hybrid coverstock emerged as the perfect balance of grip and recovery, giving unmatched traction in the midlane without compromising downlane punch. Built for bowlers who crave both control and power, the Attention Star S2 is ready to take your game out of this world. Powered by the enhanced Momentous AV+ A.I. Core, the Attention Star S2 harnesses intensified energy and precision. This redesigned core introduces an advanced energy pattern to maximize pin impact, unleashing gravity-defying force with smooth, controlled transitions. Every frame becomes a chance to push boundaries and reach new heights in performance. The eTrax PLUS Hybrid coverstock—a mix of pearl and solid reactive—provides ideal traction through the midlane while maintaining its trademark responsiveness to friction, delivering a powerful hook without early burn-out. Offering the best of both worlds, the Attention Star S2 is an evolution of the original, now with added versatility and control to take down the competition shot after shot.

Roto Grips newest HP4 release is a hybrid version of the super popular Attention Star. The new Attention Star S2 (Sequence 2) again features the powerful Momentous™ AV + core surrounded by Amplified Inertia technology. They wrapped it in a sanded Etrax Plus Hybrid cover. This cover creates greater footprint earlier than the original while still providing great down-lane movement.

I tested the S2 the first time in league. Anticipating the need for more oil I wanted to give it the first try out when I was sure I'd have a fresh condition. It only took a couple balls to realize that this had a very unique motion from the Attention Star. The S2 has a very noticeable mid-lane read and great continuation. It reminded me a lot of the Eternity Pi in the midlane but with more motion in the back-end of the lane. This allowed me to stay in the ball longer. In terms of overall hook it is a small step down from the X-Cell but in my opinion it stays in play much longer.

I did also bowl a practice session on a lane which had some open play and was pleasantly surprised to observe that the S2 had no problem finishing on a lane with more carry-down. The ability to trust this ball to start hooking in the middle of the lane takes a lot of the guesswork out of what it will do in the backend. This ball makes a great alternative to some of the more aggressive Assyms that want to get a bit forward as soon and the fronts start to hook. It's also better suited as a first ball out in oil for people who have slower ball speeds.

Roto Grip Attention Star S2 Review
Layout-VLS 5.25x3.75x1.75
Surface-2000 Dull
The S2 uses the same core as the orginal Attention Star with AI Technology wrapped with the E-Trax Hybrid Coverstock.
The S2 will be a great option to handle heavy oil with a continous motion on the backend.
Sometimes the big heavy oil balls get foward on the backend while the S2 will be more continous.
Once the lane transitions and you need more length and backend you will be able to go to the OG Attention Star.
The Attention Star's will be a great 1-2 punch on heavy oil.
The X-Cell will be earlier than the S2 but more smooth motion on the backend.
The Attention Star S2 will be available November 22nd!!!!!!
