Title: Toxic / BW too similar?
Post by: slap on January 07, 2007, 04:08:23 AM
I'm planning the next ball to add to my modest arsenal. I want something above my Toxic. Right now I thinking either a Pain OOB or a Widow dulled a bit.

My questions is, does anyone think the Widow and Toxic are too similar?

I should note my Toxic has a pretty mild drill on it. I apologize I'm just starting to learn about layouts and I don't know my detailed specs (PAP, tilt etc)

The Toxic will fit great under the B/W. I have a No Mercy, was going to drill a Black Widow but decided those two might be to close, but a Toxic under the B/W will give you a great 1,2 punch.

I have both these balls the Toxic and BW drilled very similar. They are very different in how they read the lane especially the midlane. I use the Pain OOB drilled pin under to roll early to handle heavier oil. If you are looking for something above the Toxic or Doom for oil I recommend the Pain OOB. I never really see really heavy oil so the Pain has had no problem getting through any condition for me. The BW glides through Mids on a nice tight line and snaps into the pocket where as the Pain will read the mid and arc to the pocket.

great comments so far. I'm still undecided but the more opinions the better. I'm not in hurry to buy.
 
thanks

I have the Toxic and Doom they are also a great combination. My Toxic is the only ball I have w/finger weight (suits my down/in style), usually I need to change to the Doom in the third game and I don't have to adjust at all. If I do it is w/speed.
