I don't mean to Hijack but is the Hy road that everyone loves (not the new one), is it above or below the IQ Tour? My current line up is Hammer Black Widow Gold, timeless, IQ Tour, Code Black. Would it over lap anything or will it fit in my arsenal? I see someone said it cost $113.00. I am tired of paying all this dam money for balls lol,then a new one come out.
My Weapons for WAR: 15LBS. Hammer Black Widow Gold, Storm IQ Tour, Storm Timeless, Storm Drive, Hammer Black Urethane, Hammer Gauntlet.  Gold Widow Spare

Hy-Road (hybrid the original) is longer and weaker than an IQ Tour and it also carries much better on house shot.  Its pretty much the ultimate house shot killer and well worth the money for most styles.  It can also handle dryer lanes than the IQ Tour.   Just glancing at your arsenal you do seem to have quite a few strong pieces so something a little tamer (but not on the hit I can tell you) might be advised.

Pyramid is good but I don't think any of their benchmark balls are in the same league as a Hy-Road on house shot though.  Do love my Path Rising though rarely see conditions where I can use it.

Path Rising takes cover adjustments very well if you would change it to match the conditionds they become very good balls. I have 1 drilled stacked and one drilled low flair. I play on travel leagues and matching ball surface to the lanes is very important .

Yeah was thinking it was more a tournament ball.  See mostly decent house shot on newer synthetic lanes for most part so have other balls that match up better (bit of a ball junkie).  There is one house by the university where the college kids beat it to crap which it is perfect for.  Like going over there occasionally to throw my weaker stuff.
