BigB20,

With each of those in their OOB surface, they have a similiar reaction (MB placement on the Untamed depending), but the Untamed just offers up more strength overall.

Both of them would handle the condition you described, I would expect the Untamed to open up the lane a little more and you would have to play more direct with the Slash.

I have both.  Like Carl (EXCALIBER) said, based on MB placement on the Untamed, it will be stronger, and earlier.  The AU has a lower RG (rev earlier) with a high Diff (high flare), compared to the Slash which is med RG, (longer) but still high flare.  I have both drilled similiar but not exact - AU 4.5 x 3 MB , Slash 4 x 2.

What I see happen on a typical THS (synthetic 38 - 40 feet), is the Untamed rolls out at the pocket, while the Slash keeps driving through the pocket.  There are times when either is preferred, although I prefer the Slash as my benchmark ball.

I find it's not as speed sensitive as the AU....

Hope this helps,

Hey Big,

Interesting, I drilled my Untamed with the mb at 2.5 so it rolls very early and even, not touchy at all.  The Slash is a very versatile ball that simply reacts to the layout that's placed on it.  

In the case of the Untamed, like Traumabill states, it does have a lower rg combined with my short mb to pap, it helped offset my high tilt and produced a very nice roll.  This may be your problem, that if your rolling too soon and the ball is not storing enough energy for you downlane.  

If you can give us the layout of the ball, your pap and some of details of your game, we can maybe help suggest another pattern for you on that ball that would give it a better look.
