I understand about dumb ideas, and for some reason they may think it's time to put the Doom to rest, but I doubt it. I'd think they just want to "play" with the core/cover to see if they can make a good ball better, not that it can always be done, but I'd bet the Doom will be here for a while.
IMO, Ebonite tried the same thing with the V2 Sanded/Power...didn't work, but maybe those guys learned something from it and won't kill the Doom for a while. Besides, they have you telling the world how great the Doom is...lol...they know a good thing when they see it !
As far as the Toxic, haven't seen one in person, but IMO, that's an ugly ball, but I'm not a green person.
