The revolution continues with the Balltip Rock Slide®. This innovative hybrid takes everything you expect from the ergonomic Rock Slide®—the signature cutaway, tapered interior, and exceptional comfort—and adds a lap and pedal steel-inspired ball tip in crystal-clear moulded glass.

Now available at Haggerty’s Music, this Medium Clear Glass slide is the one essential tool your resonator, Dobro, or lap steel should never leave home without.

Why the Balltip Glass Rock Slide is a Game-Changer

Specifically designed to expand your tonal palette, the Balltip model offers versatility that traditional glass tubes simply can't match.

• Dual-Instrument Capability: The pronounced ball nose makes this a true combo slide. Use it like a standard slide on your electric or acoustic guitar, or flip it to use the tip for precise single-string work on a Dobro, Lap Steel, or Resonator.
• Two Playing Surfaces: This design provides both a longer and shorter playing surface in one tool. This allows you to switch between full-string coverage for big chords and a shorter surface for nimble, targeted lead lines.
• Massive Sustain with Thicker Walls: Thanks to the internal taper, the glass walls are significantly thicker at the tip. This extra mass acts as a "gain knob," providing the sustain needed to "light up" a resonator while remaining fast and light on an electric guitar.
• Precision Ergonomics: Like all Rock Slides, it features a tapered interior for a snug fit along the entire finger, a knuckle cutaway for maximum flexibility, and a flat finger rest for superior control and vibrato.
• Clear Tonal Clarity: Individually hand-moulded by master lampworkers, the smooth glass surface ensures a frictionless, noise-free glide across your strings with a bright, transparent tone.
