Title: Sonic Boom, I want another one!
Post by: LuckyLefty on June 29, 2012, 09:52:36 AM
Hey,  I've looked her and there for one and can't find one.

If I give up on that....

Any newer Rotos that are very similar in specs to that sweet ball
?

Something from the Planet series?  .35 diff is it?  or is it .29 on the 15 pound diff?

Roto experts?

REgards,

Mike I remember I had both the Sonic X, Sonic X solid, and the Sonic Boom.

Both the Sonic X and Solid had maximum differential of .20.  They had significantly less backend than the Sonic Boom with it's potential of .29?  Or was it .36.

Anyway, based on the specs I have to wonder if the Scream is more like the Sonic X which had a very even arc??

Let me know.

The Sonic Boom had .029 diff. and it was the Super Sonic and Ultra Sonic that had the .035 with a different coverstock! Back in the day I had them all and they were amazing at the price point!

Hey Lefty,

Just had to let you know. Shot a respectable 645 set last nite with my Sonic-X! Ended up using it all nite long. Believe it or not, there was actually more oil than normal. Any who, it performed well with  minimal adjustments. Played down 12, slightly up the boards to start(standing 15), and by night's end, standing 28 playing about 18 at the arrows with a small swing. Carried the world!

Still lovin this ball on our summer shot!

Very smooth off the dry!  I have been revving it pretty hard and getting it out in the dry a little earlier than with other balls.

This is taking out eh straignt then flip this ball has on many patterns and giving it it's strong midlane look combined with it's big backend, but smooth off the dry!

Can you say CRACK!

The closest I've seen look like the 300 series from Track, so far!

Lovin it!

If your question was directed at me, I only use the Sonic-X solids. I have two of them drilled sightly different, but not by much. I just change the surfaces to get two different reactions.
