Toxic/BWP comparison
« on: December 05, 2007, 02:24:25 AM »
How do they compare to each other? I don't have a pearl in my arsenal anymore. I did have a toxic but the span was too long on it and Isold it. I thinking of getiing another toxic because of the price but I'm tempted to give the widow pearl the nod.

I have both. One (toxic) drilled pin above 5 1/2 pin/pap and the other (bwp) drilled pin below 4 pin/pap so the reactions would be different and they are. Both give a nice length maybe the BWP a bit more pop but again, drilled differently.

I did change the BWP cover and it was a different ball, for me. I like it but don't need it really. If I had it to do all over, I would not have gotten the BWP.

I have both drilled 5.5 pin to pap.  The toxic has a pin over bridge, strong x-hole, while the bwp has the pin high over the ring (tj type of layout) with the mb in the strong position, x-hole 3 over and 2 up from the cog.

In terms of overall hook they are pretty much the same.  the bwp has a little more pop on the backend but I can pretty much stand in the same area and throw either.  The toxic allows me to stay in that area longer...whereas the bwp reaction becomes uncontrollable as the lanes breakdown.

as of right now, the bwp is pretty much dead, after a resurfacing it just doesn't have the pop it once had, whereas the toxic continues to roll strong.  not saying the bwp isn't a great ball...its just that between the two..i'd take a toxic.
