How Is The Toxic?
« on: December 06, 2006, 03:26:56 AM »
I'm just wondering how good the Toxic is. Is it better than the Doom? If anyone has a video of it could you please post it? I am slightly thinking about getting it if it's better than the Doom.

IMHO the Toxic picks up it's roll a few feet earlier than the Doom and is more sensitive to lack of oil in the heads.  Should be a good step between the Pain and Doom for most people.

In OOB finish it can still be a little over-under with a good amount of carrydown.  I took an old grey pad to mine lightly to remove some of the polish and that seemed to help in that regard.
