If you can still find one, an Avalanche Slide might fit in there - you will need to layout the ball for a mild back end, but it will be smooth on the front end. The Slide I have is over all milder than the Rhino Purple Pro I also have in the bag, both at 2000 Abralon smooth - however the Slide will really react to friction on the back end, with stronger layouts.
I guess I should add that my Slingshot gets more use than the Avalanche Slide. As I get older I get more rev dominant; which means standing at 50 and throwing over 20, with stronger "high performance" equipment. The Slingshot at 2000 Abralon rough has a more even, less angular line to the pocket than the Slide. The Slingshot, especially since they go for pocket change might be something you would want to try.

I think the Slingshot should do what you are asking for. For a more smooth backend just go pin down. The cover gets easy length, too.

I thought you had gathered enough info in your last post about the Dry/R and the SLingshot?
Both the Slingshot and the Power Groove should fit into the slot you wan, depending on drilling and your release. Nothing has changed that. Because of the differential, the PG should have more backend than the Slingshot IF they were drilled the same. DIfferent drillings will bring them closer. Both are weaker than a good condition Sapphire Pearl and stronger than a Dry/R
