It probably has a small amount of particle in it but is so small that it can't be considered particle. Don't quote me on this. I'm just guessing.

I have read a couple of early reviews of the ball and its longer and stronger than the Doom. Its not the same core as the Doom and its not the same cover. It is reactive pearl with a pearl additive.. What exactly does that mean, not really sure..quote:

Well, that doesn't make sense, considering to make a ball pearl..you have to give it an additive to do so. Sounds like marketing double talk. I really wish companies(not only hammer) would be more specific about the type of coverstock. Track is notorious for saying something is just reactive, finding out it is pearl w/o a mention to it.

I've read the opposite,it's longer then the pain but not the doom.I agree,I wish hammer would be more specific on their cover descriptions,how else can we make a decision.

Toxic is clean up front, it was a bit sooner than the Doom drilled the same.
The midlane read was much better and a stronger backend. The ball fills a gap in the Raw series..

This little additive/particle game seems to have started with Columbia with some of their coverstocks.
I guess if the additive being added to the ball doesn't give it classic particle coverstock characteristics, why label the additive as a particle if you feel it's going to mislead the public about the balls intended purpose.
Just my $0.02

I also see no reason why Hammer would mislead anyone on the coverstock of this ball.. If it was a particle pearl, I am sure thats how it would be marketed..

Took it out on lanes the had 3 shifts of league and some open play I had to stand on Lane 18 to throw the ball 6th arrow on 19 with some speed to keep the ball from over hooking.
Then bowled on the fresh THS was able to play up 12 with no problem.
Bowled after the first shift league tonight. I was able to start out 2 boards deeper with the feet with no problem. Then midway into the 2nd game the ball started checking up early and over hooking. Moved a couple boards further left with the feet and eyes and took some hand out of the ball and it worked just fine. The ball DEFINITELY reacts in the dry.
I used the Toxic during 2 leagues on Tuesday night
I shot 245, 235, 208 = 688 for the first shift. and 210, 214, 194 = 618 for the 2nd shift.
When I drilled the ball, I made some changes to my thumb pitch I started hanging up as the night went on and was struggling to get out of the ball. I definitely like the roll of the ball
