I want to add a Total NV and a Toxic to my arsenal. What do you think?
« on: March 11, 2007, 02:54:10 PM »
My arsenal already has a Action, BW, Doom and a Black Hammer. I want to add a Total NV and a Toxic to my arsenal. Would this be a good move? I think this would complete my arsenal.

he's young and wasting money and will look back one day and realize that it is more the bowler than the equipment.

Trust me I know it is more the bowler than the equipment. But I just think that the Toxic will improve my game. I greatly appreciate your help. But just because the Toxic didn't work for you guys doesn't mean it won't work for me. It all depends if/when I get the ball.

I have the Toxic, and it's alright. Definately not controllable but will work if you're accurate. The Doom would be a better choice.

Your right!  Just because the TOXIC didn't work for us doesn't mean it won't work for you.  

I have owned many bowling balls over the last 4 seasons.  I also bowl on tough lane conditions every single week in my big money league.  Having the right types of equipment is very important because of the amount of money that's on the line.  I gave the TOXIC a shot but it's just too un-controllable.  The ball responds to friction too much.  As soon as it sniffs a hint of dry boards it's gone!  

Now if your bowling on one of those easy walled up house patterns, this ball will be OK.  You wont need to be accurate on conditions like that.  If your a bowler that hit's tourney's or bowls on tough lane patterns this ball is a waste of money.  If you only bowl on easy walled up house patterns then disregard what I have said about the TOXIC.

Let us know if you end up getting this ball and how it works for you.

crusher,

I do not think the Toxic is going to be a bad choice as long as you have some area to allow the ball to finish. IF it is long oil and no dry then it may not be the best choice. Most of all what I would probably do is make sure that your ball driller knows what you are looking to get out of the ball on the condition that you are going to be throwing on.........AND BE SURE THAT YOU GET THE LAYOUT THAT IS GOING TO ASSIST in giving you that reaction.

Goodluck,
Carl

Just to add to this topic I will agree with previous posters (Chitown mainly) in the fact that the Toxic overreacts off dry and skates in the oil, the Doom is one of the best balls i'ver ever had and have a new one coming sometime in the next month or so to fill a hole in my arsenal (My old one lost the fight with the ball return).

Just from my observation i'd get lesson and bake/water bath, and resurface the Doom and I would put money on it its either you and the ball or more of just you but don't give up on the doom, mine had 200+ games on it and was still going strong, no resurfaces, just regular cleaning.

Now i'd suggest not getting the Toxic, TNV up to you, i'd just worry about adjusting to the lanes more, that black widow and Doom can get you a long, long way and the Action and Black Hammer take care of the extremes.

Now do as you please and update us on the toxic but be ready for an I told you so if it doesn't work out.
