Sick describes this ball in alot of ways...

It is SICK looking and looks like someone got SICK on it lol...and that one word also describes the ball reaction...flat out SICK!!

I knew this ball was gonna kick in the back pretty good...so we drilled it 4 x 3 with the pin 1-3/4" above the midline in hopes of smoothing it out a bit.. took it out without the Weight hole and threw it...

It is REAL clean through the heads but as soon as it sniffs some friction it is GONE...looked like someone was downlane and just kicked it left...it was almost uncontrolable so we put a hole on my pap to stabilize it a little more

took it back out and BINGO...still has a HUGE backend move....just not as erratic

this ball really impresses me...so much in fact i ordered a No Mercy today also to give that a shot!

i wanna try and get some video of this and put something together for all to see!

Congrats Hammer on a VERY good release...

Yessir, that ball is sick when it comes to medium conditions. I have alot of friends that throw it and are doing great. Expect 10+ pins higher on your average.

The Toxic is a flippy ball.  This ball is all about the back end move.  For me it's very condition specific because of how flippy it is.  I have mine at 4000 grit abralon and no polish.  Without the polish it's a little more tame but not much.

This is a good ball to use when you have miss area on the lanes.  On the tough patterns without a defined hook spot, the TOXIC is better off in the bag.
