Raw Hammer Toxic Pics
« on: December 01, 2006, 03:46:29 AM »
Don't know if you guys have seen actual pics but mine came today and it looks SWEET!!  Heres a couple shots.  The grey looks awesome mixed in with that color green.

Thanks for the quick replies and I'll await more opinions.

I was initially concerned because the toxic was only covering a few more boards than my blue vibe. Not what I expected.

Sorry I don't know my PAP. I doubt it's anything weird too strange. I could snap a  few pics of other balls if that would help.

There are a few guys who work in my pro shop. Now that you guys are confirming my suspicions I'll make sure to have the expert driller take a look at the ball.

Next question. In your opinions can this be fixed?

I think this ball would look way better with just a little less lime green and more silver.

The one I saw on Thursday doesn't look nearly as good as these. Hardly any silver in it and the green is lighter than I expected. I did see a Black Widow with a ton of red phasing in it that looked cool.

Hey Slap,

I have a Doom drilled similarly to this drill. I'm a righty. Your driller drilled it for max backend, but, because he has the pin down, it's going to really smooth out the snappiness of your reaction. If you really wanted to see snap and backend....have him raise the pin an inch to an 1.5" over the fingers in this same layout, and you'll have a completely different animal!

My Doom was drilled with the pin high, and the first couple of spins I took with the ball were darn near uncontrollable. After about 10 games or so, the ball tracked up a little and calmed down. That was when the fun, and high scores started!!

Yeah, with my experience with Pin-Below bridge, you get more of a control type of ball.

I believe this is what you are seeing slap. I'd say go with a conventional lefty drill with pin over middle finger and cg kicked out. It would be alot more of what you are looking for.

Hey Long Roller, did you alter the cover?  It doesn't look too shiny.

StrikeMonster, I have 3 in the shop, NIB and they are not as shinny as a Doom, I was a bit surprised as well. Still all in all a good looking ball, IMO.

Thanks, AZGuy.  I've been salivating over this ball since it came out, but I don't need another shiny ball.  So, I think I'll put the Toxic on my Christmas list.  
thanks.

I think it is a sweet looking ball too. . .
My friend said it looks like a highly polished booger going down the lane.
