The Special and the Attitude use the same coverstock.

The Special and Secret use the same core.

The Special appears to be the hooker of the bunch followed closely by the Secret with the Attitude bringing up the rear in terms of overall hook.

The Attitude will have more backend than the Secret due tothe pure resin cover vis the pearl particle.

ATTITUDE - strongest total movement - starts in the midlane and continues all the way through. asymmetrial core.

SPECIAL = strong at the breakpoint with a more pronounced but sometimes shorter lasting movement than the ATTITUDE.

(with the same covers these two are very close - just different movements due to different cores.)

SECRET - light load of particle tames the movement of this ball down. more of a control ball that can cover a wide range of oil volume depending on surface.

Having throw all 3 of these with similar layouts, here is my take on them:

The Attitude Shift and Special Agent cover the same amount of boards, however they do it in different ways. The Special Agent is more aggresive in the midlane and continuous in the backend, while the Attitude Shift is cleaner in the mids with a more pronounced arc/flip in the backend.

The Secret Agent is a different animal all together from these 2. It is much earlier than both balls with much less movement in the backend. This ball will have the most control in heavier oils, but it will look like the weakest of the 3 balls on most conditions.

Of all 3, I prefer the Special Agent. As a high rev player, it has more than enough movement for me in heavier oil, while also being aggressive in the backend on house conditions. I love it on Shark Pattern from inside angles. For me, the Attitude Shift is more like a super aggressive pearl, so I instead prefer a true pearl to fill that place my bag. The Secret Agent I keep for when conditions get spotty, as it blends out over/under nicely. However, it is usually too early for me to play straighter with, and it does not have enough kick to play inside angles.

To Big Jake:

Depends on where you get it.  Some places already have a limited amount.  Some don't have until the 9th of Nov & some not til Mid Nov.  The 800bowler already has it! LOL!

Great question C-hop.  I was wondering also.  Great info from you 3 guys that posted it.  We all appreciate it.
