Sonic Boom
« on: November 18, 2004, 11:08:11 AM »
I am getting ready to order a new Sonic Boom.  I am buying this for dry lane conditions, So what I am wondering what type of drilling should I use on this?  About me I am a cranker, medium to low speed revs medium to high.  High track and bowling on synthetic lanes if that matters.  Currently I have a Hammer Wheel, Intense Inferno, Brunswick Xtreme.  Backends are so dry that the Intense takes off way too soon and if I bury it deep it wont come back at all.  I am just afraid that if I go too agressive with the drilling I am going to be in the same spot.  

Also the Xtreme is polished up and wont roll to the pocket just keeps hooking.  

any help is much appreciated!

thank you

The inferno will be stronger than the sonic, so I wouldn't worry about it.  But, due to your stats, I'd go with something like a 5 x 5 or 4.5 x 5 whatever, to give you some length.  And keep in mind you can always alter the surface to get the reaction you desire, like polishing it if need be.

Hope that helps even a little.

the Sonic series is for lighter to lighter-mediums volumes of oil...they are NOT designed for dry!  I just don't want you to be dissapointed ...the Boom will move!  Depends on your definition of dry....

Well Jeff, I was going off what he said, that his intense inferno is too much.  And though I have a lack of R/G knowledge, wouldn't the sonic be fairly weaker (longer) than the inferno?

Thanks for the info guys!  with what I am reading I think I will go with the Sonic Boom and get a urethane.  I think that will be a decent light oil setup.

I am always amazed at the knowledge of the this board.  Keep it up!
