Does anyone know the big difference between the Savage Flip and the Hammer Swing Blade?

similar reaction/length/etc....


I have to set the record streight on this ball. The Sling blade is no way near close to the savage flip. Only simalarity is the length, and even that is very nill.

The Savage flip does want to get up the lane but still true to ebonite characteristics it rolls the midlane and back. The Sling Blade however does push through the midlane and then rolls the back with a good read of the breakpoint. Although it "L"'s on the back it is not hard to shoot the breakpoint with the sling blade.

All in all, they are both great balls. If you have a higher rev rate and a little higher speed than 16 mph then I would throw the Flip. Slower rev rates and under 16mph the sling blade matches up very well.
