I'm not slogging through implementing a new design.

Hello,

Do both sentences sound natural and are both grammatical? Have I used correctly slog through and worth a shot?

1. I know copying the data is the easy (or easiest ?) path, that's why it was worth a shot. I'm not slogging through implementing a new design.

2. I know copying the data is the easy way, that's why it was worth a shot. I'm not slogging through the process implementing a new design.


Thanks.

I know copying the data is the easy/easiest way, that's why it was worth a shot. I'm not slogging through implementing a new design. Yes, this is all OK.

'slog' doesn't seem the right kind of word in the context of data processing. 'worth a shot' seems OK.

Your choice of tenses makes it unclear whether this is something that has already happened or something that is being planned for the future. I used the present tense throughout my version below, but you can change all the tenses to the past if that's really what you meant.
