Best Symmetrical Ball out today
« on: May 06, 2015, 12:05:22 PM »
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?

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

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..

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.

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.
