Toxic 300...
« on: April 13, 2007, 03:54:48 PM »
Just practice though... still a nice feeling. Think I had something like 20 in a row with it between 3 games.

I had pretty much given up on this ball, but after the 300 I used it for all 3 games in league tonight and had a decent set on a night where I usually struggle.

Toxic is a great ball that needs to be used on the right condition.

I find it responds off the dry pretty good and can open up the lane.

When the lanes break down in the heads a little, that's the ball to go to.

Nice shooting.

Unfortunately I haven't found the same to be true... The center that I frequent and based my distaste for the ball at only oils once a day.  It's not a typical houseshot there either.  

There doesn't seem to be a substantial reverse run of oil in the heads to give that hold that you need in the later games.  When the heads start going, they're usually just plain gone.  The league I had a decent night in usually has enough people using hook monsters earlier on to make a pearl urethane look pretty doggone good in the third game.  If you can manage to avoid the retched carrydown...
