Looks like yours has more of the white "phasing" than mine has...

Not yet.... It only had 2.25 oz. TW, so as it sits now, it only has 5/8oz. PW.

I got my toxic drilled yesterday. To be honest I was expected a stronger back end reaction. I told my pro shop I wanted it to go long and snap back and here is how he drilled it.  I'm open to all opinions...

Wow.  That is not at all drilled like I would have drilled it for max backend reaction.  Does that have a weighthole?  Are you right handed or left handed?

No it doesn't have a weight hole. I'm a lefty. I'm guessing he drilled it for maximum length??

That ball seems to not be legal with too much thumb weight.  I would think that this ball would pick up early and roll out with little hook potential.  Maybe one of the drill gurus will comment on this....It's defintitely not a length drill.  It's drilled to hook earlier but seems to have too much thumb weight.

Shane, it might appear to have a lot of thumb weight, but unless the driller is a total tool, I'm sure it's still legal.  All he'd have to do is drill the thumb a little deeper.

Why would he drill it that way when the customer wanted maximum backend?  I would have drilled it like mine....

Slap, do you know your PAP? This drilling looks strange to me. CG too far down towards the thumb, and the pin under the bridge is - if you PAP is not too exotic - a rather weak drilling for control.
 
A maximum lengthg and back end drilling would have IMHO have the pin above the fingers, the CG stacked below it and also much higher, on grip center height, and the pin closer to your PAP, maybe above thering finger hole or left of of it (again, given you do not have a off-standard PAP). The ball itself with its long pin distance should be a great basis for a flip layout. But with what you got, I think it is no wonder that you do not get much back end out of it!
