The Venom Strike has had great success in giving bowlers a smooth, controllable reaction with great carry. Its successor, the Venom Toxin, is no less impressive. By using the same proven Gear core (2.48 RG, .034 Diff) and wrapping it in the new Atomix Hybrid Radial Reactive coverstock (finished at 2000 + Power Gel Polish) we get a ball motion that is both controllable and strong off of the friction on Medium-Light/broken down lane conditions. I laid this ball out very similarly to my Strike so that I had a solid one-two punch when combating tough conditions where control is priority number one and I have not been disappointed. I bring the Toxin out when the lanes break down and I need something that can project right and can recover in a strong arcing motion. I see this ball clear the heads extremely well; it then gives me a good midlane read without over reacting to early friction and then finishes with an aggressive backend move that is predictable. All of this controllable motion translates into a strong presence through the pins, driving through the pocket with ease. I have even been able to use this ball to compliment my Primal Scream since their projection shapes are similar for me, though clearly they are meant for different volumes of oil. If you need a great ball to give you strength, but control, later in the day (not to mention something that looks quite striking), grab the Venom Toxin.
