Question
I just received a Hammer Sling Blade from a friend of mine and I was thinking about getting it redrilled for me.
I have a medium rev rate medium ball speed medium oil length I also bowl on wood lane surfaces. I love to play straight up the second arrow but if i have to I can move in and swing it out
I use fingertips and a thumb slug based on the information do you thing the Sling Blade would be a good ball for me

Answer
I NEED WAY MORE INFO.
 WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU THROW NOW?
WHAT WEIGHTS DO THEY HAVE?
WHERE ARE THE PINS PLACED?
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE NOW?
WHAT DON'T YOU LIKE ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE NOW?
WHAT DOES YOUR OLD EQUIPMENT LACK IN PERFORMANCE?
DO YOU LEAVE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF A CERTAIN SPARE?
WHAT DO YOU MOST FIGHT AGAINST  (conditions,hook,grip)?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE NEW BALL TO DO BETTER?
DO YOU HAVE A SPINNER,3/4, FULL ROLL?
DO YOU BEND AT THE KNEES &/OR WAIST?
WHAT DO YOU AIM AT(ARROWS,DOTS,PINS)?
WHAT ARE THE SURFACES(DULL,SHINY) OF YOUR OLD EQUIPMENT?

 THE SLING BLADE IS SHINY & FOR MED. TO DRY CONDITIONS.IT HAS THE OLD WEIGHT BLOCK. PERFECT FOR MED. TO SLOW REVVERS.I HAVE NOT THROWN ANY HAMMER EQUIPMENT SINCE 1990.SO,I PERSONALLY CAN"T TELL YOU WHAT THE BALL DOES.

YOU ALSO NEED TO SEE THE CHOICES OF LAYOUTS YOU CAN DRILL WITHOUT HITTING THE PLUGGED AREAS.
