I must be in minority - I HATE the Hyroad
« on: March 12, 2018, 07:48:22 AM »
I drilled my 3rd one, hoping that layout/surface changes and changes in my release would deem this ball a winner.  I hear everyone rage about it, so I though I must be doing something wrong......... WRONG.  It just plain isn't for me.  Maybe it can work in my challenge league when I need push and recovery with a bigger stupid angle, but how often do you see that?  I'd rather get right and stuff it anyway.

I guess my eye prefers earlier, smoother stuff.  The best Storm stuff I have is a Marvel-S, Marvel Pearl, SonIQ (this ball is stupid good), Punch Out (when I need push - another stupid good ball), all the iQ's with the low diff core.  My pro shop guys tell me it's my release, and my old school eye.  I like to get control of the midlane and the HyRoad just doesn't do it for me.  It tumbles too long and generates too much angle - ending up in over/under hell for me.  It also seems to be very unforgiving when I miss it at the bottom.

For guys that need help getting the ball down the lane, I can see how this ball could be useful ...... any other thoughts?

Im not liking that ball either, First ball I bought after a long layoff from the game. Years ago I struggled with the big inverted weight blocks, I figured a lot had changed including my release, WOW was I wrong I still dont get a good reaction big inverted weight blocks

Haven't found a 2 piece ball yet I don't match up at least fairly decently with (pushing half my arsenal now).  Can't say that about low RG, high diff balls which so far tended to be pretty meh for me.  Even low RG, low diff don't wow me that much (IQ Tour, Venom Shock very good but not great for me).
