would the 916at be a good replacement for an attitude shift?

Title says it all. Your thoughts please. I see where the core numbers and finish are close. Thanks in advance.

Well from my naked eye the 916AT seems to have more of a change of direction downlane.  Not huge but it was a little more off of the spot.  The Attitude Shift seemed to be pretty lazy around the corner, better for straighter angles.  It's a little older but a Rogue Cell seemed to have a similar shape to an Attitude Shift.

Sorry didn't realize this was the Track forum...my bad.  I think the 920T would be a closer shape in the Track line to the Attitude Shift.

I'd guess that is close Russ.  I don't remember seeing many Attitude Shifts of the ones I remember they were a bit straighter with more hook on the backend rather than more even move roll thru the pattern than my 920T is http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q29/scotts33/Bowling%20Equipment/Track920T.jpg

My 920T is a bit more rolly/arcing than I think the Attitude shift was.  Part of that would be my layout and also I keep it at 2000 abralon.  This the medium-heavy ball that I can close down angles in the heads and stay straighter than a 916AT with the same type of layout and surface. I use my 920T to blend out all types of conditions from wet/dry to more even conditions....allows a bit of miss room.  I'd say the 920T is one of the most underrated Track balls or any ball for that matter.

Wow this is a tough one honestly.  Mainly cause you can go a few different ways.  Keep in mind I was with Roto before Track and rolled a lot of storm then too so my experiences with the attitude shift are hands on.  I think the 916T is going to be the closest to the shift as far as overall hook, the 920t will actually be close also but more rolly.

honestly didnt sell many Shift/Attitude Shift balls here. From what I know it didnt really do a ton off the spot for most who drilled it.

Depending on drilling and surface the 916AT would be stronger than it, but still a good ball to drill regardless.
