I had 2 Skids, and now I have a Snap Lock. IMO, the Snap Lock has a better roll (smoother) and finishes stronger. The Skid is more lane specific,and is more skid /flip to me than the Snap Lock. I also believe that the S/L can handle more oil than the Skid can. I like the motion of the S/L better than the Skid. I did adjust the cover to 2k then light 4k to get a better reaction than oob for me.
