What does everyone think of this? I see a lot of you have them already so I would love some opinions. How about drilling layouts, anything I should watch out for? Im looking to make it my med/high oil ball to compliment my Toxic which I understood to be a drier conditions kind of ball.

Yes, get one if you can, everyone loves them, talk to your driller about what pattern to use after he sees you bowl... blah blah blah, not trying to be rude but this topic is ALL over the place in this forum and those are the answers you will end up with when everything is said and done. Just saving you sometime. Now go get one!:D

I guess I should have included the question as to whether anybody had any opinion on the Black Widow/Toxic as a sort of "one-two" combination. Thanks though!

No offense but the TOXIC is FAR FAR FAR from a dry conditions ball. Like was said when you made your original post about it not hooking...something is wrong. You need to have somebody relook at your layout or something, because there is an issue somewhere. The Toxic is an animal.

Umm...bad experience with this ball. It is good when the pin is longer. Make sure when you get it weighed, and make sure there is top weight, and make sure the pin is 3 inches from the CG or more. I had a 1 1/2 and there are 2 drilling options and neither one would have worked for me because of the lack of top weight.

Pins in the plus 2 inch range to 4 are going to be good. All my favorite balls have top weight of 3 1/4oz top weight. Have some good stuff that came in at 2 3/4.
