Can someone compare Attitude vs. VG for me?
« on: June 29, 2009, 10:03:00 PM »
The VG is yet to really show up around where I live but I have seen quite a few Attitude Shifts. I'm interested in how it compares to the VG. The Attitude seems to be a nice complement to the conditions we have around here now. Anyone take a swing at this for me?

Difference is length.  I have both and the ball shape difference is that the Attitude is 1-2 feet longer before it transitions from skid to hook.  I like both balls but for me the original shapelock core matches up better than the shapelock HD on house shots due to slightly later midlane transition.

Yeah, I agree w/greenefam.  I have both & match up better w/the original shapelock core as well.  I use the Attitude & original Shifts as my 1-2 punch, especially on house conditions.  The Shapelock HD has a lower RG than the original & therefore probably needs a little more oil.  I have taken some hand out of the VG & had success with it.  I wish they didn't discontinue the original shapelock.

I would agree with this...the virtual also makes a more assertive move off the dry.  The attitude was one of my favorite balls, until the virtual came out
