Toxic or BW Pearl
« on: February 08, 2008, 12:38:25 PM »
I am looking for a medium to medium light oil ball?  I like a ball to have length and not a ton of hook.  I am tinking that I will like one of the 2 balls.  I've heard bad things about both balls.  I really like hammer balls and was thinking a pearl ball might be what I'm looking for???

i have the toxic and absolutely love it.  right out of box is perfect for medium oil.  polish and you get an awesome light-lightmedium backend monster.  scuff er down and it can handle oil.  mine is drilled pin over ring finger and works great for a fresh THS shot.  and we both stand very close to the same area.   haven't tried the BWP, but IMO i reall like the toxic.

Cool...thats what I was thinking.  I have a Sharp Blade now and was wanting to add another ball for lighter oil.  I cant control the sharp blade when the lanes start to dry out.  I really think that the toxic may compliment my current ball now.  The bwp may react totaly different???  Dont know???

the BWP and the toxic react really similarly to each other. they're within a few boards. based on what you're looking for, i agree, the toxic would probably be a better fit. it just goes a little longer before making it's move, and is a touch sharper for me on the back. you really can't go wrong either way.

I would suggest the DOOM for lighter oil. It is a little weaker then the Toxic and much weaker then BWP also the toxic is very snappy and sometimes hard to control but on the right condition it is amazing. I also have a black widow pearl and i cant throw it on anything less then a med oil but then again it depends on your speed and revolutions. But i think the Doom is a better fit for lighter oil its more versatile.
