Happy 5th Birthday to the Storm Hy-Road
« on: October 31, 2013, 09:57:30 PM »
For those who follow Storm on Facebook, the graphic was released earlier tonight.  It basically says "5 years of bowling success.  Celebrate by taking your Hy-Road to work with you on November 20th."  Yes, the Hy-Road's first day was all the way back on November 20, 2008.

5 straight years on the market is completely unheard of these days.  But I will say that the Hy-Road has been a very good ball to me in the time I've owned one.  In this case, I think Storm figured out that they shouldn't fix what isn't broken.  After all, they did try to get rid of the Hy-Road by releasing the CrossRoad and the Fire Road...

I used to have a hy-road.  started as a good ball for me, then my game started evolving away from the speed limited feather shot I had with it.
Wise bowler told me once: K.I.S.S.   Keep it simple stupid.

Visionary keeps theirs out for quite a while.  Ogre Solid was released in 2006.  But, Happy Birthday to the Hy Road.

Happy Birthday Hy-Road. My go to ball. Bowled with a dude who was throwing a *Pearl* day before yesterday for the 1st time. He was having a hard time controlling his new ball. Was an average 175+ av bowler and I think he threw a 125. That ball sure did break left upon hitting the far end dry area. Yow-suh!
