Its kinda late for this topic, but after struggling for years on very dry wood lanes, Ive finally found the ultimate match for my old local center with the slingshot. Been averaging 225 with this ball, made myself quite a bit of money because of this.
When the slingshot was dropped from production, I was seriously disappointed. The strike king is just too strong for a player like me. With plastic balls, it just doesnt hit hard enough.
Seriously wish Brunswick would consider bringing back this ball or something 99% similar with a different ball name. As a loyal customer for many years, I do wish they consider a target market for high rev bowlers in asian countries where wood lanes and almost non-existent oil are common. If this gap is not filled, I might have to move on to other brands which has something similar to the slingshot.
