Gravtiy Shift
« on: May 27, 2010, 01:33:07 PM »
Would the Gravity Shift be a good step down from the Attitude Shift? I know the Gravity has a stronger cover, but it's pearlized and polished:


Attitude Shift - 4.5" pin to PAP, MB 5" from PAP. Pin under. 4000 abralon.


Gravity Shift - 4" pin to PAP, MB 4.5" from PAP. Pin under. 1500 polished.



Thoughts?

I have never thrown the Attitude but I have the Gravity.  I used the Virtual Gravity and Gravity Shift till the Energy came out. The Gravity Shift may seem like a stronger ball because the boards it covers in the back, but thats where you want it when the midlane starts to go.  It should be a good combo.  If it's not already drilled I would put the same layout as on the Attitude because the covers and surface are going to give you a good difference between the two.

Personally, I neutered my Gravity Shift for short PBA patterns and there is nothing better.

I need to reverse engineer the dual angle layout, but mmy GS has the pin 3 inches above my bridge, mb to the right of the thumb with a P3 hole, and a surface of 500 w/polish.

Perhaps what I found was an accident, because I was ready to give up on the ball, but there is nothing better on fried short patterns. It just clears the fronts easily, barely flips, and drives. The perfect mix of a flip and hook/set reaction.
