ATTENTION STAR

Ordinary? Far from it. Revolutionary? Absofrigginlutely right it is. Not only are we presenting you with the most advanced core technology since the invention of sliced bread, but we also decided what the heck, why not just mix in an inner block design never before released domestically. Yeah, you read that correctly, prior to this out of this world concoction from our R&D lab, the original Momentous™ Core was exclusive to our international market. But after countless seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks of computer research and testing, we figured out that density changes to this particular block and slug when placed in A.I. Core technology provided us with a motion we hadn’t seen before. And after multiple on lane tests, it was a quick and easy decision that we just had to wrap this baby with the time tested and proven eTrax™ PLUS Pearl Reactive coverstock to give us an overall reaction unlike anything offered on earth today.

Momentous™ AV + A.I. Core Technology

In our search to develop a dominating and unique ball motion, our R&D team spent endless hours evaluating computer generated stats based on various asymmetrical block shapes modeled at different densities inside the A.I. Core. It was quite clear during this process that the altered variant of the Momentous block (which has never been used in the domestic market), provided us the unique ball motion we were seeking. Bottom line, this combination of block density and slug density inside the A.I. Core takes energy dispersion through the pins to another galaxy.


 



eTrax™ PLUS Pearl Coverstock

Over the past couple years, we have used different ratios and recipes when dialing in our various coverstocks. However, sometimes a new recipe or modification just isn’t needed. Sometimes, what was ideal in the past, plugs right into the equation to provide the reaction and responsiveness needed. Such is the case this go round on our eTrax PLUS Pearl reactive coverstock. This version is the exact same recipe we used on the RST X-2 which provides plenty of push through the front of the lane while providing plenty of footprint and responsiveness to friction down lane. No really, you don’t have to thank us now, you can thank us later.

Great ball
This ball has been very versatile. I've sanded it to 2000 grit trucut from ctd and also have polished it. It is my go to first. And that's saying alot since I throw only rotogrip balls

Review:
There is a lot of good things going on here with the new Attention Star. When I first saw the promo pictures and an actual demo ball at a distributor this ball was so deep purple it looked black in color. This was a nice look I thought. When I got my Attention Star it was a ton more colorful and is a beautiful color of Purple, silver and grey. I believe this will be what is released as the finish color and is better looking than what I first saw in promo. The core used in the Attention Star has been vetted overseas and desired stateside and it is finally here. The Momentous core is made even better by adding the A.I, technology to increase hit and carry. The pearl cover works great with the Reacta Gloss finish for me on this ball. What I have seen so far is a ball that is clean and angular and really delivers a smack to the pins. The Attention Star reads the friction strong with a predictable angular finish. I have been able to feed this ball to the friction and have complete trust it will recover. This ball is under my Exotic Gem in hook but above my Hustle M+M. I feel this ball will work from multiple lines for different styles of play and still have a high carry percentage. The best thing so far is I won our league strike pot with this ball so I am already ahead with this one!

Summary:
The Attention Star is clean and angular and has great back end motion.
This ball hits hard and has great carry.
The Attention Star will be a great ball to use when stronger balls read the lane too early.

Awesome!! Love it!
Roto Grip has done it again! Great colors on this one! What can I say about this ball...With me, 1st off out of the box, it went a little to long for me, the way I throw. So I hit it with a 3000 pad to get some of the Reacta Gloss off of it. I liked it a lot better to fit into a spot in my bowling bag. It might not be a 1st ball out of the bag on league night but it is close. I love watching it roll! The Momentous Core that was only for the international market, finally came to us, and it rolls so good! It gets attention just sitting on the rack! I can't wait to get more use out of this. If you get it, you will be happy for sure! So far I shot 2 - 300's and a 290 game! Really love this ball!

Attention Star by RGR
Roto Grip Attention Star
Ball specs: MOMENTOUS™ AV + A.I. CORE TECHNOLOGY with E-Trax Pearl coverstock and finished with Reacta Gloss finish.
Layout: 5 x 3 ¾ x 3
Bowler specs: 15.5 mph and rev rate in the 380’s and my is PAP is 3 ¼ and at zero up/down and tested on Pro-Lane at ABC North Lanes in Harrisburg, Pa.
With the introduction of the Momentous AV core that has been used overseas in the Roto Grip Attention line since 2020, it was awesome to see the minds at Roto Grip bring that core to the World-Wide market. Wrapping the core is the all new A.I. outer core technology that was introduced last summer at International Bowl Expo, it is given the tour players a “cleaner” reading ball that the line as been missing. For us, the average Joe Bowler, that equates to a ball that stays true in reaction and is able to be used across a broad range of house patterns and tournament play. For me, the Attention Star is the FIRST ball since the start of the fall bowling season that I have been able to use through the whole league matches. Maybe it be a 2 person / 4 game scratch doubles, 3-person scratch league or a 4-person mixed league, I am able to stay in the ball all night long and the overall reaction in the back end is weaker than the new Storm DNA Coil, but stronger than the Magic Gem or the Absolute Power. I would say its very similar to the Storm Virtual Energy Blackout, but just a “tick” smoother on the dry friction. I mainly used it on Pro-Lane at ABC North, but had the pleasure of using it a Colony Park Lanes in York, Pa., where the surface is older HPL with a TON of fraction, every other ball I tried, jumped real strongly off the back of the pattern, but the Attention Star plowed through and was able to bowl a very respectable match (for myself) 963 for 4 games. The Attention Star is #3 in out of 4 in ball strength for me and will be replacing the VEBO. In order of strength will be #1 – DNA Coil, #2 - Optimum Idol, #3 - Attention Star and #4 – Hustle RIP. For Colony Park Lanes my bag looks a little different: #1 – Optimum Idol, #2 – Absolute Power, #3 – Absolute Power and #4 – Lighting Storm or Ocean Blue Ice Storm.

Star Power!
Hey Y'all.... Stefanie Johnson here! My formal review is on youtube (link below) BUT I will say that this ball is most certainly going into my bag for the PWBA Tour. I foresee it coming out towards the middle to end of a block when the fronts seem to start hooking early and I need something to get through that spot yet still continue. I am a very speed dominate player so "moving left" is not always my cup 'o tea but I believe this ball will give me the confidence to do so when the opportunity presents itself.

Looks dominating. Could be the best ball to hit the lanes and crush the pins.

Attention Star Review
Ball is crazy good, reminds me of the Hyper Cell Fused! For it being an asym pearl, it's not super snappy downlane and more smooth when it slows down! Gets down the lane real well and has a very nice arch to the pocket that isn't uncontrollable.
