« on: February 13, 2010, 12:46:11 AM »

Anyone I've seen throw the Attitude has done very well. It reads the lanes great and you can easily see if you need to ball up or ball down, or play with the hand position to tune the reaction. It's a very under-rated ball it can hook the lane or it can play up the boards. Very versatile for sure. It also doesn't seem to matter if it's shined or dulled, it rolls with a similar shape just a change in length.

If I had one it would be my benchmark for sure.

I have one, I like to keep mine polished, otherwise it reads the lane too early.

I never got one because i've had lots of bad luck with the Shift and onward cored balls from storm, I probably haven't had the best layout match ups so i'm not ragging on the balls, I just never had a look.

I do have a few buddies with the Attitude and they do very well with it when there is enough oil upfront to warrant its use.

I've seen two of these balls ever in my time on the lanes.  One is thrown by a straighter guy and he has unbelievable success with it when he can use it.  The other is a slwoer speed/medium revs guy and he plays deep with it.  Shined it up.  Carry = out of this world.  

Why don't I have one?  lol

I bought one when they first came out.  I kept it dull-ish (about 1000 grit abralon, no polish) for instances when I ran into a bunch of oil.  I can only remember throwing it a few times as I never ran into adequate oil.  Really strong ball.  I shot some decent scores with it, but then decided to move on to something newer...  No real complaints though.

I just got a NIB one from dgerhart here on BR......he has another one still I believe in the general fs/ft section.

This will be my fourth one once I punch it. Shot 300 with my first one before it cracked. Works REALLL good on sport shots.

Yeah, I love mine as well.  It's the 1st ball out of my bag for the 10 minute warmups.  Then I go from there.  Usually have to go to original Shift by either middle of 2nd game or start of 3rd.  I have a VG & just haven't got comfortable with it yet.  Don't need it as long as I have my Attitude.

I have read up some on the attitude shift and have wanted to get one to go under my paradigm passion but just haven't got around to it. It seems that it revs up nice and continues really nice though!

I never threw one, but the few people I know who had them loved it.

I think it was one of those good underrated balls that flew under people's radar. IMHO the Attitude never had a chance to be a really popular ball because of the success people had with the Special Agent and T-Road solid - both came out before the Attitude did. Why would you want another solid R2S ball in the bag unless you really wanted the asymmetrical core? Most people already had what they wanted in a SA or T-Road and they were getting a lot of games out of those balls.
