Ima get a Hayabusa… but not sure if I should get the normal or the SL? If I get the normal and drop it will it die? From what I’ve seen from searching is that neither really bounce… So is the SL just to keep it from blowing up on drops?

It’ll make it hurt your hands less, but if it hits the ground it’s going to fly away from you. The regular will bounce on some surfaces (such as tile).

Either one will get some scuffs, but it won’t show as much on the SL and you probably won’t feel it quite as much.

The regular version is a little more likely to crack, but I prefer it because isn’t grippy so it won’t roll away when you drop it.

This is a pain… I’ve decided on the Hayabusa but I just cant pick which style… Theres pros and cons for both… I guess I’ll just pick on which color I want the most…
