Hy-Road Nano USBC approved October 3, 2017. Anyone know if this going to be a US or overseas release?
-
Screams overseas to me, but would quickly grab many of our attention if released stateside.
-
they went rocketship then torrent in the thunderline.....doesnt make sense to do a third solid, but the hyroad line is due...
id say we got a chance like the intense did, probably got tested overseas as it was announced months ago before having a US release date
-
That analogy makes sense.....

Hey, dude, don't forget that "Nano" is not a solid resin, but a particle solid resin.

The Intense wasnt out overseas before here like some other balls. I dont think it's likely to be a US release right now because of going Rocket ship to Torrent. The only way i see it being a US release is a continuation of the "Signature" line
-
One of the staff members pointed out that it just says Hyroad on it . . all the overseas balls are the Hyroad 300, or Hyroad Live, or something, I'm finding that to be a credible point.
-
That's the ball I just asked for on a different thread...hope it's a stateside release!
-
Hopefully if it is a stateside release, this Hy-Road Nano will be better than the Hy-Road solid of a couple years ago...that ball seemed to be a hit or miss depending on the bowler.

true
it could be a nano pearl
or a sanded nano pearl a la critical theory
could be anything with a nano additive
-
Im not really up to date with Storm covers but Nano is code for particle?

Essentially, they just dont use the word particle anymore. NRG cover, MicroBite with Roto Grip

I wish we could get a chart that merged the Storm and RG covers/cores. I know we got the separated one, just merge them for us to relieve the guess work.
-
Eh, there would still be guesswork. Too many variables for it to be a straight up gospel for everyone.

Right, and I certainly don't mean core and cover combos.
Just one that brings the cover side together and the core sides together. At a glance it looks like R2S is higher than Psyched..but is it? Then we have Amped way up the chart on a ball like the Dare Devil, yet people say R4S pearl is just way too strong. Looking across the board, they look even...
I might just be rambling here, if so, apologies.

Nah, you've actually identified the deal there. Even if they did mesh the charts together, it wouldn't help.

Of course right after I went and got the pearl which still trying to get used to. Oh well can't have too many different hy-roads lol.
-
Hmm I always thought the hy road with a strong cover would be fun. I don't know how the nano covers react though.

The pearl is legendary, so no worries.

I'm not a fan of high RG or monster covers on medium cores so I don't think I would personally be getting it. They usually have issues like the Show Off is having.

What issues?

Intriguing ball that's for sure...... 🤔
-
It's not a good ball. The cover is way too strong for the core, it's one of those over/under balls that chews a shot up. Too strong to stand right, not enough core to move left, and I'd never use it on a house shot. Tried to polish it, just turned into a puke monster. It DOES have a place, it's just a very small place or a small window of usability, and in that specific circumstance, I can think of better reactions.

-
Ive had 2 hyroads in my time and found both of them to dynamic of a ball for me.I would think the stronger cover would tame it down.
-
Might tame the shape down, but it's going to hook a ton more. That Nano cover is no joke.

-
I never threw one but I don't remember the Hyroad solid being a hit with R2S on it can't imagine with NANO cover.
-
Hoping it has the Marvel S cover!

Isn't the NRG cover on the Marvel S the Nano cover?
-
Yes, you are correct it's the same cover.

The Hyroad Solid was a tragedy. The Rocket Ship is the ball the Hyroad Solid should have been.

Was there enough difference between the hyroad and the rocketship for it to matter? I know a lot feel the rocketship was Storms attempt at replacing the hyroad. I guess it could have been worse it could have been the Optimus Solid lol
-
The Optimus Solid was also a tragedy lol. Rocket Ship isn't a Hyroad, but it's not a bad imitation. If the Torrent Rush is stateside, that might do it though.

-
What's odd to me, is that as my IQ Tour lane shined, it seem to get better for me. As the Rocket Ship with the same cover lane shined for me, it got worse. I'm guessing its maybe due to the starting surface of the balls.
-
Has to do with RG also, IQ Tour, very low RG, so it's already going to roll early and smooth, add surface, earlier and smoother, remove surface and add shape. Rocket Ship, higher RG, surface balances out the length, as it shines, gets longer and stronger, perhaps too long. Surface yes, also RG in addition.

The entire Optimus line was tragic.

Im surprised anybody remembers that terrible line
-
It was so bad it's hard to forget. Really sad because I liked the core, but I think the core is why they sucked. Marvel Pearl, one of the greatest balls Storm ever made, Optimus, same cover, different core, dog shiatsu. Confused.

Ill never forget, the Optimus was what made stop drilling Storm balls entirely, it was that bad. Id rather use a house ball.
-

We have 1 senior bowler that loves the Optimus Solid but at the same time he also has multiple Marvel Pearls that he likes just as much if not more.
I wouldnt mind seeing the Tri sphere core again with a different cover. I thought it had potential but maybe wasnt a great match to R2X

What cover do you think would have been better? I got my hands on an Optimus X (R3S) and it was the biggest Storm turd I've ever thrown. 2nd worst ball I've ever thrown.

I always wondered about pairing the ERG hybrid from the Crux with it

The problem with that core was it wanted to hook early and it spun up quick too. You would have to pair it with a milder cover and less surface to make it behave for the average bowler. if you put anything stronger than the R2x Of the Marvel Pearl with it you've got a puke monster. With the Tri-Sphere cores tendency to spin up quicker might have been interesting with R2S or Reactor on it.

Would like to see Luke's opinion video on this one.
