Not to defend bam bam’s awful reviews, BUT in this case I can’t argue with anything he said.
I have issues with polished symmetrical pearls being very over/under for me in general, they tend to get squirrely on the back and speed sensitive. When I DO get a polished pearl sym that glides through the front but still stands up consistently, that ball gets VERY hard to put down. The Soniq is that ball for me. I can carry with it from all over the lane, and it’s power from deep is impressive for a ball that stands up so easily. The only thing that keeps it in the bag for me is fresh sport shots, and I’m pretty convinced that another one with surface would solve that problem.
In fact, some of my league winnings are probably going to be re-invested in proving that theory before the summer sport shot league.
