The toxic is a skid/flip ball, it reacts very quickly off the dry boards.  I have a feeling if you were to mover inside some you would love the ball.

I hated mine at first but now it is the first ball out of my bag and usually works for me all night long.  I play around 17-15 out to about 7-5 and it works great

Dude.......it's definitely not the ball!

Bowling is all about the art of adjustments! You can't always play "the third board, 2nd arrow"....and if you do...you're crippling yourself, and stunting the growth of your game.

You play the lanes the way your ball reaction tells you to play them. Some nites it'll be an inside swing shot that scores well; some nites it'll be an outside line; then another nite it may be straight up the boards, with a direct line to the pocket off the corner. You have to practice being more versatile, and then you'll see just what kinds of weapons you really own.

Tilt?
Pap?
High, low, med track?
