The Shred-it, after reading the numbers, finishes, and cover strength, is going to be a touch longer due to the stronger cover and finish of the Train. The Shred-it is close to the train as far as numbers but the finish and the weaker cover get it to push longer. With that said, the Shred-it should be close to what you are wanting. However, i would look for a better replacement. Maybe The Look or the Freight Train, as they are going to give you what you more of what you are looking for. As a matter of fact, that is what the Freight Train was designed for. As you are moving in, one of those 2 balls. If you're looking for something weaker, then the Shred-It will come more into play.
