They must have ordered very late because they are starting to land now at most distributors.

Those of you considering the Slingshot that haven't looked at the Avalanche Slide should check it out. If fills most of the slot the Slingshot would have in my bag. It is a great down and in ball when that is where you need to play the lanes. It is also a decent dry lanes ball - even works well in carrydown. Surprisingly to me it even works well on oil from the outside corner.

first of all is this replacing the Power Groove line? second of all what advantages would these balls have over the Power Groove?

The Slingshot will be replacing the Power Groove line.

Slingshot has a 2 piece core that has a lower RG than the Power Groove for better mid lane control and also a lower diff for easy length.

The 2 piece core will have stronger hitting power than the original Power Groove core.

If you've ever needed a ball for those dry lanes this will be an excellent choice.

The core has nothing to do with the strength a bowling ball hits. One bowling ball does not hit harder than another. One may have a slightly higher CoR but one ball hitting harder than another is a misnomer. If you are using the proper ball on the proper lane conditions equates to the bowling performing properly. Also a bowling ball that carries properly has a certain amount of deflection. A bowling ball that is still driving when it hits the pins generally will not carry.

I'm very curious about this ball.  Do you think it would fit in my line up?

900 Global Break S75
Visionary Gladiator Pearl
Ebonite NVS
Brunswick Fury Solid

I have a 2 Radical Infernos hanging out in the bag at home for now, I just need to change the pitch of fingers on one that's drilled with pin up.  Other one needs to be resurfaced badly, it got chewed up a little in a ball return a year ago, but has been patched.  Oh and a Storm Xfactor that's on it's last leg.  Its been resurfaced so many times the etching is starting to come off...eeek!  

What do you all think?

 I think if you're looking for a ball weaker than anything you already have, then it would fit.

 PK 17 is reasonably mild. You couple that with a rolly, lower diff core, and the results SHOULD be something you could use on drier conditions.

Yeah looking for a ball that will fill my line up out.  I know I've got the strong balls covered.  Looking for something weaker to play on down and in shot on a THS.  This seems like it would fit the bill.  And its CHEAP for what it appears to be.

I can't wait to get mine. I love my chrome/yellow groove. I hope to love my black/silver slingshot as much. My groove is a fantastic third game ball. It is beat up, chewed up, tracked up by old wood, but still hits just as hard as the day I got it. Which is just as hard as any other balls I have. It's all about matching up.

How rolly is this ball with a traditional layout?
What do you think about a 1 to 1 1/2 pin to pap layout... ?

Would IMHO result in a very straight ball. Such a setup is really rolly, and coupled with the low differential I think you just get that much hook out of it that you impart through side rotation. The higher RG should help it getting down the lane, but I think you'd have to play it aggressively to get a decent reaction out of it. Probably good for straight down 2nd arrow and a shallow entry angle, but I am not sure if the pin that close to the PAP sacrifises too much hitting power duie to the rolling tendency. I am sceptical.
