pin under bridge, cg kicked 1.75 inches with balance hole 3.5 inches out from thumb 15/16 in size 2.5 inches deep
3/4 side weight and 1/2 finger weight
this ball is so clean through the heads it is ridiculous
i was bowling on a ths last night at league... first game i was all over the place kinda comin down from nerves from getting there cuz there was a ton of traffic so i didnt use my first game as a conclusive tool about the ball
the second game rolled around finally, and then i got into the groove of things and started getting better ball roll and i think rotation
- it is hard to see mine rotate down the lane due to the coloration of the ball, so i cant even tell how well its revving up besides ball reaction haha
anyways... i finally found my groove and found that it is definitely stronger than the doom which is amazing to me. i found it to be a bit snappier off the break than the doom although the lower rg of the core and a bit stronger of a cover should make it a bit rollier of a pearl
light pocket hits are what i found to be the best with this ball at least at league last night
i left a few blower seven pins but other than that pins wer flying all over, and of course the typical ring ten at santa clarita happens ever so often so i had a few of those, a couple 9's and an 8 pin...
it might have been a bit too wet dry for this ball but by the last game i was playing tight in the middle and shot 257 with 3 ten pins
it definitely has a lot of potential and am looking forward to throwing it tonite in league again and more so after
i will try and give a comparison to my black widow after tonight because it was burnin up a bit early last night at league due to a lack of a bit of head oil... where i bowl tonight will give me a better idea of how they compare, and maybe i will try and have a no mercy comparison as well
any questions pm me or just reply to the topic
oh and the ball looks even sexier in person than in the pictures :-D

I can't wait to try out the Toxic in a couple weeks. The Raw Hammers are all a bowler needs.
I was at the alley last night where my pro shop guy is out of. I picked up another PAIN. This makes 2 of them for me. I had a 2nd PAIN a while ago but had to trade it in because the layout was way too strong.
While waiting for my ball to get drilled up I stepped out to watch the bowlers in the Tuesday night league. I wanted to check out what everyone was throwing. Well I noticed a few DOOMS and BW'S. I didn't see any NM's out there. There was one bowler playing with the DOOM and threw 8 in a row. I just had to smile because that's a familiar site with the DOOM.
Keep us posted about the TOXIC!

Well I knew a while back that I was going to buy the new RAW HAMMER that comes out. I'm glad they used a color that was different than other balls out.
I can't wait to get mine in a couple weeks.

Is that your way of saying Jon threw 3 in the tenth and you opened for 160 and let my team win the game?
Thanks for not sweeping us.
You should think about letting the Flip be anchor....
