Hyroad Pearl is stronger, will be able to handle more oil than the Uproar and will be more angular

Both are very good pieces, but the Hy-Road pearl is definitely stronger off the spot than the Up Roar.  I think going to the Up Roar once the Hy Road Pearl becomes too much would be a great idea.

Not trying to steal the thread here but... which one would be better as a ball down from a crossroad... I think that HRP wouldn't be enough of a step down as the up roar would be or am I wrong.. Trying to decide which one I want to get when the lanes really breakdown..

So if the Hy-Road pearl will handle more oil and has a stronger backend than the Uproar, how does the IQ pearl compare to these two? The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking for a ball to close the gap between my IQ Fusion and Breeze pearl and I'm trying to decide between the Hy-Road pearl, IQ pearl, and Uproar.

IQTP is a step up from my Hy road pearl. I go like this:    Fusion  IQTP   Hyroad pearl  Tropical heat.       If I hit a flood I still have my old reliable dull Oath.
 

                             I hope this helps.

To answer everyones questions, the Uproar is a step down from the Hy-Road Pearl. The Hyroad Pearl has a stronger cover and higher diff core. The IQTP and Fusion are different reaction shapes because of the low rg core. They will start sooner than the Hyroad Pearl but may not cover as many boards. I wouldn't say they were stronger at all, just different. The Hyroad Pearl will be the ball you move in with and chase the oil in front of the pocket. IQTP and Fusion will start sooner and be more ideal for the track area. The objective is to pick the ball that fits your style and what you are looking to do on the lanes.

Blueprint, seeing as how you have a Tour Fusion I would consider both the IQTP/Uproar and the Hy-Road Pearl. One for if the lanes are moving you inward and you need the ball to pop out the corners and one for just incase there's a flood in the middle and you need to stay in the same area with a weaker ball.
I can tell you from experience that the Uproar is a beast. I threw mine 6 shots in practice, struck 5 times and popped a wrap 7. Then took it to city tournament team event and shot 727 with a few more strikes left out there.
