Title: First of the crap HyRoad Nano reviews is in
Post by: SVstar34 on November 19, 2017, 01:43:48 PM
LOL

He at least gave something useful saying it's a ball down from the Phase II. I wouldn't think Storm would want someone pushing eauipment that went -63 for 4 on a flat pattern and then did worse on a challenge pattern and house shot. (He posted about it on his Facebook page)

Your phone autocorrected the word staffer to crap. Seems legit, though.

Time to stir up some sh*t.  You can rename them all you want but particle balls will always suck donkey d**k imso.  At least its 2 piece I guess so sucks a tiny bit less.

I disagree. Just like any other ball with a stronger cover you have to make sure there's enough oil and do proper maintenance

I haven't had a chance to drill mine yet.  I liked the IQ Nano a ton, so hoping this one is good too, but I doubt I need that much hook on a regular basis.  Ended up polishing my IQ and it was perfect for a different shape for league, but as strong as pearls have gotten, I literally can't actually remember the last time I've thrown a solid in league, let alone one with that strong of a cover, and it's going to take a lot to pry the All Out and Danger out of my hands.

I thought the Danger was just another ball for you?

Unless I am mistaken, I believe Luke's opinion is that the ball is great at what it was designed to do, just what it is designed to do is not a reaction he likes usually. But when he can use it, it is great

It was . . until this weekend in Tulsa.  Now I have to eat more crow.  Danger is awful on a fresh shot, but once the track gets destroyed and you can get in and just fling it right, I'm not sure I could point out a better reaction on the market.  All Out is great on the fresh, but it doesn't quite have the guts to shape up strongly from big angles, and that's when the Danger stops acting like a 3 year old at Walmart not getting their way.  I actually was enjoying how much I was hating it, and now I just can't anymore.  I still will say it's a one trick pony, but it's really good at that trick.

It'll get pushed until it's available for everyone, and then a few months later it'll get burned at the stake...like the Hyroad solid was.

We'll see . . the Hyroad Solid was ACTUAL garbage though.  Like tragically awful.

What I don't get is how the Hy-Road Solid was so bad to people while the T-Road Solid is considered a gem. I might end up passing on the Nano for now since I've wanted a Torrent for a while and loved the Victory Road Solid.

I CAN tell you the Torrent is great.  I haven't drilled my Nano yet so we'll see, but I imagine it will first need a ton of polish to be usable on normal conditions.

Would really like to see the difference between the show off and Hyroad Nano because on paper they should be close.

Hy-Roads seem to rev up later. Show Offs rev up a little faster and have more of an arc. I don't think people will compain that the Hy-Road NANO is as over/under. It just sees the lane better for all styles.

I know this is a little off topic but why is the HyRoad Solid considered garbage? Never rolled the ball myself but a friend of mine loved that ball and put together quite a few nice sets with it.

For a large majority of bowlers, it was too much up the lane and not nearly enough inside.

Watched it on the fresh by my favorite storm junkie.

Fresh 48 ft great Wall of China. 

The hyroad nano struggled for the first 5 frames being too clean with the wet dry condition.

The next 2.5 games were beautiful. I was worried for a second.  But it seems it is a true step down from the phaze II haha...

He didn't miss pretty much for the rest of the night. 

Ball looked great. He says it's a step in the direction the hyroad solid shoulda been.

The danger looked like trash if u ask me!

Loved my hyroad solid on fresh house shot, drilled pin down cg kicked out and a large p3 hole. Replaced with torrent pin up no hole and love it. Nano cover hyroad going to be too strong for what I bowl on.

it didn't look strong to me at all in person. The Iq nano wasn't too strong either, I assume the show off is the same way.

Show Off is nutso strong.  Can't believe that's the nano cover really.

I bowl league on very old synthetics, high friction and feel the nano cover will burn off to much energy. The heads blow really quickly.
