Where did storm go wrong with this ball? It is based on a few successful balls, it has a versatile cover, and it is supposed to be an earlier Hy-Road! Why didn't the masses enjoy this ball? Is it completely different from the T-Road Solid?
-
Not enough shape downlane for the masses, it was pretty damn early as well.

This is exactly what I've seen. The formula they used for the cover was just a little too strong
-
I don't think the ball is a failure, it is just a very niche ball. I've seen people have a lot of success with the Hy-Road Solid, but I just think that the conditions have to be just right for them to see use.
-
No one had success with the ball and adjusting the cover?
-
I have one. Love it. Became my benchmark ball. I was bowking a second shift mixed league and this ball was money for me. Allowed me to move in and wheel the lane and cut through the carrydown from all the plastic on the first squad
-
With the success of the iq solid and nano the masses never really needed the solid
-
I was thinking this ball should have had 1500 polish like it did overseas.
-
Dudes I love this ball on synthetics..screw your opinions. 2000 grit R2S FTW!!!!! :)
-
Im with ya dozer. And i was using it on wood
-
The t-road solid was 1000 apparently that sucks too 8)

I am surprised at this complete thread.
I had the chance to throw a couple of HyRoad Solids at a ball trial. The conditions were much oilier that our usual shot and the ball dull was unstoppable! Tremendous close to the hole and carry.
Subsequent I have seen the ball in my home house thrown dull and too wide and it has looked like crap. I have also seen a polished version played by a thumb hanger low rev player and it has looked great! Very small move to the hole and a lot of carry!
Now I have picked up a very well reviewed T Road Solid (on this site) and thrown it while still in it's righty configuration and I am surprised that a setup that is 6 1/2 X 5 1/4 cg position for me how much backend it has and push!
My question is how can it be so bad versus the TRoad Solid which was so well received?
Thanks,

That's what I wanna know Lucky! I love my T-Road. I've considered storing a Hy-Road Solid. I feel like this ball might be an under-rated gem.
-
Well I believe the r2s has had many updates and is not the same exact cover with each release.
The T-road had to be a weaker version of the cover before it evolved into what it is today. That's my only answer.

Compared to the iq tour, tour nano, and marvel s the ball just sucks. Not nearly as forgiving imo
-
Core shape accounts for some of that. Marvel S, and the IQ series all have the same shape, and the Hyroad does not. Too strong of a cover with a big engine in it makes it possible to be a bad matchup.
-
So I think what I am hearing is the same core stronger cover on the HyRoad solid vs the TRoad Solid has led to problems?
Bill have you had the TRoad and the HyRoad Solids?
Any others with this same feeling with both balls?
Thanks,

i could see the strong cover in a strong core comparrison being a problem. the reign of fire had the same problem in my opinion. the majority of people being successful with both of those balls were on sport. house shots have too much friction for many to use them. the people being succeful on house shots are fluffers that go up 10
-
Or people that have higher ball speed pushing the ball down the lane. I am by no means a fluffer and i can move in and wheel my hyroad solid
-
ya that too. im just saying the ball needed someway to get the ball down lane better. either by more speed, less rev rate, less surface or more oil volume by moving in
-
I would probably love the Hy-Road Solid. I have a higher ball speed than most people. On the other hand, I can't imagine having a stronger T-Road. When it is clean, that thing out hooks every ball I own. It's early and very continuous.
