Thank you Storm

Use your own judgement but after a switch to the Versa -Max and then to the HY-road, our team went from 15th place to 2nd place.  And I was the most improved bowler (50$) in the league.   I had my best year ever after a 6 year layoff.  My average was up 16 pins, and no sandbagging....I try my best every throw.  The Hy-road is such a great ball.....last week 12 in a row...290.  Thanks Storm, you are my company.

Congrats on the nice jump with the team.  The Hy-Road is a great ball and I love it.  It just flat out works on a wide variety of patterns.  It was a great ball for me this season also.  That along with the Frantic provided a great 1-2 punch.

Thanks tommy,

What would you use if you wanted a step down.  I'm considering another hy-road, perhaps drilled a little different.  You're right, it is a very consistent and forgiving ball....

Since you like the Hy-Road, the Frantic is a great step down.  Same cover as the Hy-Road but uses the N.O.S. Core.  The Frantic goes a bit longer down the lane but will have more backend.  Carry is great, and it is also really versatile for shorter or ligher volume patterns.

I drilled up my Frantic about halfway through the season, using a similar layout to my Hy-Road.  It was a great 1-2 combo and that ball is always in the bag league nights.

Another option that's similar is the Wrecker.  Great cover/core combo and several in my league were really successful with it this year also.
