If you want a pearl, than the Victory Road is the best choice as the Hy-Road and Virtual Energy are hybrids. The Victory Road is the cleanest of the three through the front part of the lane and has the strongest move down the lane. This is the first ball out of my bag as it gives me a lot of options. I kept my Hy-Road & Virtual Energy for two years so you know both did some serious work for me. The Hy-Road started as my all-purpose ball and later it became my go to piece when the lanes broke down. The Virtual Energy I drilled with the pin and cg under the middle finger to play straighter. The advantage of the hybrid cover to me is the fact that it has solid coverstock mixed in and that blends the lane out while the pearl piece of the cover gives the ball that pop down the lane we like to see.

 

You cannot go wrong with any of the three honestly and I'm ordering another Hy-Road as they will soon be gone.
