Overall it's a more smooth reaction, but if you liked the Power Groove you should love the Slingshot.

RG 2.68 Diff .041
Slingshot is a symmetric core with a lower RG and Diff
RG 2.60 Diff .017
Power Groove will be more angular, the Slingshot will be smoother. I prefer the Power Groove and they are still available online in most places.

The Power Groove has a .041 differential and the Slingshot has a .017 differential. That means the Power Groove's hook potential is 2 1/2 times stronger than the Slingshot. The Power Groove will be more angular than the Slingshot. For more info, you may check bowlwithbrunswick.com

Also was mentioned to find the true low RG you needed to spin the ball on a determinator to find the PSA, then draw a line from there 6 3/4" through the CG to mark the actual low RG.

On symmetrical balls, the PSA is not marked as it does not exist BEFORE drilling. The PSA is created by the largest void in the ball, which will be somewhere near the thumb. This was learned in the 2010 IBPSIA Advanced Technicians class that I attended where Mo Pinel was the instructor.

You would appear to be neither by the way you argue your erroneous point about the power groove and slingshot cores.
Have a nice day.
Stick to what you know, and send the PBA a check already.
I''''ve already made post on here in reference to a drilled symmetric being asymmetric after drilling. That more times then not a pin up drilling symmetric ball will have the PSA be the thumb hole, when the pin is down on an symmetric after drilling the PSA is usually 6 3/4" from the pin through the thumb.
I also posted where Mo talks about the difference in a Power Groove and Slingshot and that the Power Groove is an Asymmetric ball and how to find the balls PSA along with its true low RG before drilling.(not after)
DD819 learned a lot from Mo Pinel , but I guess doesn''''t believe him on the Power Groove.
To each his own.

I posted links on the exact subject in reference to what Mo has said. Nothing more nothing less. Any other post on bowling balls I have made is in reference to my experience with them. I have nothing negative to say of any of them or people using them. I will reply negative to those who choose to do the same.

a slingshot would still be a good replacement. they share the same cover & with a well placed weight hole, you could increase the diff. with a weight hole. be sure to ask your ball driller as well.

Check Morichs website about the dual thumb layout. It will help increase the Diff of the ball and get it closer in reaction to the the PG. The core is the difference between the two. The Slingshot was made to be smoother then the PG which had a little more Skidsnap reaction.
