I love my Slash, but it's mostly used for a benchmark ball, especially when I need a consistent controlled look on the lanes. I bring this ball to tournaments with me and its bailed me out a few times, especially when I need a steady arc move to push through the heads and still motor a little on the back. Great sport shot ball to in my opinion. I put mine with the pin under ring finger and I also put a light coat of polish over the factory surface.
