Storm Hy-Road Bowling Ball - User reviews wanted

[Chase]

This bowling ball was designed to be an “in-between” of the T-Road Solid and T-Road Pearl. Storm combined the two coverstocks, consequently creating a hybrid coverstock. The ball has a mid-lane read to handle a medium-heavy lane condition. The reaction can be described as the ultimate benchmark reaction, mid-lane read with a predictable hook motion.

I have had this ball for about 1 month now, and am still learning when to use it. I have shot a few 260+ games with it, and a 279 game with it. I can't say that I prefer it over my Total NV, but it's a great bowling ball on the right conditions. I normally use it when the lanes first start to breakdown a little.

I have had this ball myself for almost two weeks. But, I have only thrown one full game with it I had a 236. I actually need alittle more oil on the lanes in order to play with it.

Yea im with theo, i have the ball and have had it for a bout a month. it hooks a lil too early for me on what we have been bowling on lately. Matter of fact, lanes everywhere have been dry for me lately and ive had to throw much of my older equipment and leave all of my new balls in the bag. I think ill like it tho, when oil is on the lane. There just hasnt been much of that around lately

Hey Chase I have to agree with Theo and Isom, the ball revs up 2early, don't get me wrong is a great ball. If your'e looking for a ball 2 get down the lane and make that turn the new Ebonite The ONE Pearl is a great addition to your bag. I also have to agree with you on the Total NV. Not so great. Chase if you get your hands on the new Pearl ONE, trust me you'll love the ball reaction.

Yeah... well, i think because I am a "Full-roller".. I don't get the same fundamental reactions that others (3/4 rollers) get with their equipment. Actually, the ball seemed a bit strong at first...for what I really wanted it to do. But, after about 10 or 20 games it has tamed down a little bit.

I also don't use the ball for playing in the track area that much....unless there is oil. I usually start using it when I have to make a move left (with my feet)...like 3 or 4 boards.

Oh yeah... I definitely want to check out that new ball - thanks.

Hey guys,

I have to say I agree with most of the thoughts here. I had a T-Road Pearl crack a while back and Storm replaced it with this ball. I really didn't think it would be that much stronger than the Pearl that was destroyed...boy was I wrong.

I drilled it 4 1/2" pin to PAP, pin near my grip centerline, 45* cg and a hole down below my thumb. I was expecting this ball to give me a look for playing straighter angles on patterns that have started to break down. It is actually just as stong overall as my Rapid Fire, it just reads the midlane a little better.

I really like the motion it makes, it's just a lot more ball than I though it would be. Great piece....
