Hammer Toxic: Yet another one punched up hehe
« on: December 06, 2006, 03:03:58 AM »
Hey BR & Hammer Family,

Just got a Toxic drilled up yesterday.

Beginning Specs
15.03 lbs
2-3 pin
4 oz. TW

Since Top was high, I decided on a label type layout.
Pin next to ring finger with CG shifted towards center of grip.
No weight hole.

Layout looks like this

---------
---o-oP--
---------
----cg---
---------
---------
----o----

Haven't had a ball laid out like this in awhile, so I'm anxious
to see how it rolls. The color scheme on this ball is something
else. Reminds me of the Storm Bolt with white and gray swirls on
it. For some reason, mine doesn't have as much black swirls as
some of the others I've seen from users here.

Won't be able to throw it till Friday, but I will report with
pictures, a Mini-Review and a Video as always for sure!

Talk to you all later!
Ram

Black swirls?  I had only noticed white ones...  Hmm...

I wonder if anyone realizes that the picture you try to draw of the layout does not help any of us.

I want to know the pin-pap distance, pin-cg distance, angle the cg is at, and pin-midline distance. Also, Include your PAP so then one can make a prediction of where the pin is without a pic. These drawing do not help, so I'm clueless whenever someone does it.

Other than that, good luck with the ball. I saw it throw this weekend on a sport shot and it didn't look that good.. but it might be because of the SS.. I dunno. I can't make a conclusion about the ball yet since I've only seen one thrown so far.

Good luck.

Chris, why does he have to put his PAP in his post when it's in his profile?  Pin to cg distance and the angle of the CG are pretty much meaningless unless on a symmetric you are trying to reproduce his specific layout.

The lack of a weighthole is more important than CG location.

Yes the picture of the layout isn't that helpful, but for some, it's better than nothing.

Hey Chris, sorry for not making it clear enough for you. My stats are in my profile. I usually try to be more detailed, but I figured the diagram would help. The layout is approximately a 4 x 5. I will def. measure for exact details next time.

Hope this helps!
