Haven't seen them directly compared, but as a few more of the Hyped Pearls pop up they look fairly strong and really quick down lane, I think they might be a little more overall that a Hy-Road Pearl just based on when i've seen people use them vs the Hy-Road Pearl (really a transition/late in block ball on most things now-a-days).

Maybe take a look at a little bigger step up like the new 900 Global Wolverine.

Good choice,

The hyped has the same cover as the hustles so you might see some overlap there.

Many used to say the wreckers gave the hp3 line a run for their money so I think they're trying to weaken the hp2 line a bit this time.

I think you'll be able to play more parts of the lane with the hyroad pearl, and for me the core is more responsive to hand positions and changes. Can't go wrong with anything in the road line.
