I know this is a loaded question, but I thought I would throw it out there to see the responses. I have tried a lot of Asyms, but Syms seem to just work better for my game. I have shot my highest scores with a Hy-Road. I have had my best success on heavier patterns with a Darkness and Solaris Requiem. So what is the best Sym out there?
-
If you like the Hyroad try a Melee Jab. The Melee Cross is great to blend out wet dry house shots.
-
Symmetrics have always worked best for me. Right now, my vote goes to the Motiv Rage as the best for me although my Octane is now working really great since changing to the Joe Slowinski Grip which upped my revs for someone having low revs. Just drilled a TAG. Although it appears it is going to be good, it is still too early to rank it yet.
-
If you have decent ball speed, the Motiv Forza is a great ball. Change the surface to your conditions and it will handle from heavy to light medium. About the one thing it won't do for most bowlers is true light oil or second shift toast.
And it's at a really good price point as well.

You've already got it, the HyRoad. -- JohnP

IQ TOUR Best ball ever made in my opinion. Ball never gets you in any trouble. Smooth as silk.
-
IQ Tour, Hyroad, GB2.
-
Anything that uses the Vibe core from Hammer.
I really like the Storm Ride right now. Our house shot doesn't have a lot of oil and I feel like if I drilled another one for a little more length plus roughed up the surface on mine now I'd be set for our leagues

Venom Shock

That's a solid point. I don't bowl with Hammer stuff much, but I have all the Vibes(undrilled NIB). I did drill one of the Infrared Vibes and it's a great ball.
-
For me, it's been my Radical Yeti Untamed(s) since I bowl primarily on tournament shots (and I don't bowl in any leagues).
-
Theres a ton to pick from. Ive primarly used more aggressive asymmetric core balls this year. When I need something to switch to and not adjust much I go to the LT48.
Super clean up front and when it turns over down lane its scary strong. I just drilled mine a few months ago and its really surprising how strong this ball is down lane.
-
I would second that on the Vibe core. It seems to match up with almost any shell. I also really like my IQ tour. Only ball in my bag more than a year old. Marvel Pearl has been a great symmetrical for me on the stronger side of the pearl equation.
-
Strong - Respect. Medium - Night Hawk SE. Lighter - Boost. Total destruction.
-
Hyroad for medium and Marvel Pearl for medium-heavy (if you can get your hands on one as it recently discontinued).
-
For me, it's the Sigma Sting. Hands down, it's the best symmetrical ball I've thrown in a very long time. The Sigma Core and Fusion Pearl cover matches up extremely well with many of the patterns out there and is an extremely versatile ball for my game. If you can still get one, it's worth it.
I had a Hy-Road for a while and it is a great ball. The only reason I don't have mine anymore is because for my game, the Sting was just a bit better. But, there is a reason that ball has been on the market for more than 6 years now. It truly is versatile and still one of the best core/cover matches that will work for virtually any game.
-
The Sigma Sting is for me as well, but I read the topic as balls still in production. For the stuff still being made, I like the Forza or maybe even a Venom Shock. Not that it's better than my Sigma Sting though. ;D

Venom shock or tag

+2 with Motiv Forza.

Best symmetrical balls:
!Q tour solid
Hy-road
Venom Shock
Ebo gamebreaker 2
Track 05 line
Eruption line
Personally (being high rev, low speed)
I always match up with a "road" line ball or anything with that shuttle core(05 line/kinetic) extremely well.
The melee line and moxie/respect are underrated for sure.
Curious about the yeti line..
-
For me, Forza hands down. Then maybe Venom Shock. I know someone is gonna kill me after this, but... I hated the Sigma Sting lol.
-
The DV8 Diva Divine has been great for me! That's my vote.

Thank you all for your responses. I wasn't aware some of these balls were syms.
I will admit I am looking for something when the Hy-Road just isn't enough. I have tried switching to an Asym to get a bit more back-end, and I seem to lose carry then. So was hoping to see which ball everyone thought was the best to see where I can turn to get a little more without having to go to the Darkness. These are some great ideas and I greatly appreciate everyone who took the time to respond. Thanks again.

Darkness is an awesome ball. #justsaying
-
Hy-Road hybrid can bowl all year on ths with it.Don't have to worry about bringing a sack load of balls.If you have never tried a Hy-Road I suggest you do.Another plus is they are not going to discontinue it in 3 months like other companies do.

I actually agree. But a little too strong for THS for me. :)

You're right about that. Storm already tried killing off the Hy-Road with the Fire Road and the CrossRoad. That didn't work and the Hy-Road is still out there 6 years later. Definitely in my list of best benchmark balls ever made and it has to be the best Storm ever made.

Consider yourself killed. :)
