Title: Brunswick Versa-Max vs Storm Hy-Road
Post by: cav on April 21, 2013, 07:03:39 PM

Just a fun poll.

I own both.  If you have time, tell why you chose the way you did.

Had both.  Versa Max wins off my hand.  Hy Road was very speed sensitive fast or slow.  Also the cover seemed to die earlier than i felt maybe it should have.

Versa i can power it, or swing it and it gives me a nice reaction either way, and seems much more consistent.

Having owned both, I agree with everything Elimeno Pee said except for the cover death.  Never had any problem with my HyRoad.

The Versa is the much more versatile ball for me and the carry is better, too!

Ive also had both and agree, for me the Versamax was a much better ball.....i know the Hyroad has been around for a long time and people love them, but i personally didnt. Im not a huge Brunswick fan at all, but the Versamax was a great ball.

I have 3 Hy-Roads so needless to say I prefer them because for me it's the most versatlile ball I've ever owned!!   :)

I love both, but I have to give the edge to the Hy-road.  Very consistent reaction and versatile on all the conditions I play.  I will buy both of them.....again.

First 300 in four years was with the Versamax so I'm biased :)

Have both, Hy-Road wins for me. Hy-Road more versatile on more conditions, better carry, more predictable on most conditions especially wet/dry. Hy-Road is a medium to medium heavy oil ball, Versa is medium to medium-dry for me. They don't overlap much.

I've had both. The versa max for me kept me out of trouble, it never gave the pocket away.  However I couldn't strike with it.  I couldn't. Kick the 7pin out. 

The hyroad I still currently have and use.  This ball rolls better for me at 4000 abralon than oob.  It also rolls through the pins much better than the versa did
