ball comparison

This has probably been asked before but I haven't seen it. How close in lane reaction are the Blue Vibe and the Toxic?

Tony there's a night and day difference.  

The TOXIC is the true definition of a skid/flip ball.  In box condition the Toxic glides thru the heads and mid-lane but really flips hard on the back end.  I'm talking very strong flip!

The Blue Vibe has a strong arc reaction on the back end and has good mid-lane read even in box condition.  On light oil or short patterns the Blue Vibe has a very strong arc back end and can cover a ton of boards.  However, in box condition it's still a med to light oil ball.  Take the cover down to 1000 grit and it's a heavier / longer oil ball.
