Title: One go to ball - C300 Smack Down or Storm Hy-Road (original)
Post by: jrmy_1 on January 10, 2014, 06:58:31 PM
If you had only one ball to bring to league play, given the two, would you go w/ the Smack Down or the original Hy-Road?

Any other considerations for a one stop, do it all okay, ball?

This ball will be discontinued by March 31st, meanwhile,  the Hyroad will still be trucking, Into its 6th year. Smackdown will struggle to have a 12 month shelf life.

What is this a silly question thread, ofcourse the hyroad.  Get the "whatever-down" on clearance..

Hyroad  is a great ball, but so is the Smackdown. Is the Hyroad the only ball you throw?

Come on man, in a vaccum, I'd only throw a Hyroad. The OP said these two balls. The Smackdown is cute, little ball, but let's bw honest, its no Hyroad. I've had 4 Hyroads  and got another case as a Christmas gift. This ball is like the perfect woman.

And in a vacuum we would all live in a perfect world. The key to this thread is he's asking for opinions, which is what I gave. I have thrown both balls and scored well with both,and right now my opinion is that the Smackdown is a little sexier. You can't go wrong choosing the Hyroad, I just gave my opinion like you did. I just like the SD better right now.

Sorry for hijacking your thread a little, this will be my last back and forth with NF28 on this.

Those were the two I was considering.  Hyroad seems to be a long running truck that is versatile and is time proven, but the smack down seems to be about the same in reviews.  I'm getting back into bowling after a 10yr hiatus so will only be getting one ball for now.  Currently only have my old "swamp monster" from 10-12 yes ago.  Thinking medium action for now and look into more ball for my next purchase.  I'm a tweener w/ avg speed and rotation, figured one of these balls could work in all situations with adjustment.

(Faints @ thought of Swamp Monster) My vote again is for the Hyroad,  its without question,  one of the best balls ever made.  The "whatever-down" is just another ball. Its not special. 5 years from now we wont even speak or thin k of it

Thanks all for the input.  Going with the hyroad.  Probably would've done well with either but more love for the hyroad here gets my purchase.  Thanks for the feedback!
