Sonic compared to IQ Tour Nano
« on: February 17, 2018, 07:48:06 AM »
Is there a difference in the core besides the obvious difference in the shell.

Just changed the densities to slightly lower the RG and raise the diff.

The difference in cover and extra flare make them very very very different bowling balls.

It will be cleaner and more off the friction. So when the nano starts bleeding off too much energy, you can get in and go around the pattern a little more. Personally, I would go with a faster response type drill to get the ball to transition faster. How is your Nano laid out?

You know me Doom,  I have a lot of side tilt, I have easy length.
Pin up normally doesn't work for me on less it's a solid. So my Nano
 is pin down to the left with cg kicked out.
Even that will go to long for me on carry down, that's why the ringing
 seven pins.

But the Nano is smooth, so with the pin down, you're going to hit a point where the ball isn't usable anymore. I had a King Cobra that I could kill with if I kept it straighter, but if I had to move in, it didn't have enough response. I'd imagine the Nano kinda rolls like that.

Maybe a longer pin down would work. If your nano is 4 inch pin to pap, go 5 inches pin to pap.

I don't know my Nano is really not that smooth don't give me wrong with the carry down it's still hooks but it's just gets so long that I start ringing seven pins

You sure it's not burning up? What surface do you have it at?

Oh no it's not burning up it's obvious you can see it going longer

You have it polished, don't you?

Low diff doesn't give the IQTN a lot of punch on the back.  Son!Q is a much different ball, it's got some design intent stuff in common like heavy rolling and controllable, but it's actually stronger than the IQTN.

Wheaton Bowl, but I am not getting this ball to use at Wheaton.
I plan on using this ball at Lake Side, and Wood Dale Bowl, both on synthetics.
Frankly the Nano Tour was not strong enough on the synthetics I bowl on, but its great on wood lanes.
Before you say Wheaton, they have finally change there shot, they added about a foot to the pattern. Its still dryer than the other places but now its not so flippy, but I still wouldn't use a pearl there, and I still bring my urethane just in case.

Lol, unless they changed the lane beds, that place is still a dump.

If you're getting it for use at lakeside and wooddale, the added diff and more responsive cover will help.
