I Drilled the New Roto Grip Attention Star S2 5x4x2 using the storm vls layout system.  This layout allows the ball to blend out the lane nicely and allows me to open my angles using stronger equipment.  The Attention Star s2 is the follow up to the widely regarded “Ball of the year: attention star.  The s2 features the eTrax PLUS Hybrid cover stock paired with the Momentous AV Ai core.  The s2 give you the same ball of the year motion, but a touch earlier.  I compared this ball to the Ion Pro and had the s2 slotted a spot higher in a tournament bag due to the ball rolling a bit earlier than the ion pro.  I personally have this ball as a ball 2 in a 6-ball tournament bag.  This is a good step down from your Harsh Reality’s, Gems, Ion Max’s etc. I highly recommend picking one up on November 22nd!

Roto Grip Attention Star S2
Coverstock: 2000 grit eTrax™ PLUS Hybrid Reactive
Core: Momentous™ A.I. Core (Asymmetrical)
Color: Berry/Silver/Black Aqua

Review:
Sequence 2 is here! The original Attention Star is one of our best balls of 2024 picks. It was heavily featured during the ladder half of the PBA tour season and the sequel is just as good in our opinion. We love asymmetrical hybrid covers from SPI. It has always been one of our favorite reactions on our house shot and many other centers in the Pacific Northwest and if you follow SPI releases you’ll know as of late they havn’t shown asymmetrical hybrids much love, only releasing the Magic Gem during the last several months. Our style: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). This is a great piece on multiple patterns. It blends the lane extremely well on the fresh and we actually can stay in this piece longer than we anticipated. The first couple weeks of league using this we didn’t even have to transition out of it which is kind of surprising as we normally lose pin carry or are forced too far left. We see this ball being the first or second out of your bag for both league and tournament players. I am sure you will be seeing a lot of this ball as the PBA looks to start its pre season play. Another great release from Roto Grip!

BALL: Roto Grip Attention Star S2 (Sequence 2) 
Coverstock: eTrax PLUS Hybrid Coverstock
Core: : Momentous AV+ A.I. Core
Finish: 2000
RG: 2.53 (14 Pounds)
Differential: 0.046 (14 Pounds)

ME:
Right-Handed Tweener
Speed: 13-14 mph

The return of the Attention Star is here and this one is a hybrid with a 2000 grit so this one will dig in more than the original AS. On a true house shot I can see this being the first ball out of the bag. I do find that I can only use this ball for about a game before it runs out of energy and a cleaner option is better in my opinion at my home center due to the fact that it gets cliffed very fast. From the first shot thrown down the lane I knew this was gonna be a keeper in the bag.
