As probably one of the most anticipated balls of 2017, the all new hy-road nano is set to release on December 1st. This all new hy-road has the same great proven engine that’s been in all its predecessors, but now is wrapped in the NRG coverstock. This provides a super clean ball reaction that will hook on the heaviest of oils. Personally for my game, the hy-roads and tours are staples in my bag. I have multiple of each with different layouts and surfaces. This hy-road will fit perfectly between my phaze ll and code red. Providing me just as much overall motion is the phase ll, with just a little cleaner ball reaction for when the fronts start to go, but the lanes aren’t quite transitioned enough for the code red to be in play. Be sure to pre-order your own hy-road nano now from your local pro shop for the December 1st release date! #StormNation

I absolutely love my Hy-Road Nano. This will be one of my go-to benchmark balls when starting off league or tournament play. The ball is very smooth, controllable and has great hitting power at the pins.

I kept the surface to out of the box finish (2000 grit) and I loved the shape that this ball provided. I bowled on a medium volume house shot and I got left immediately (See video link below). The layout I placed on this ball is 45x 3½x35.

This ball will provide bowlers of all styles many options. This is an extremely versatile bowling ball that will be use from medium to heavy house conditions to sport and challenge conditions. I am excited to use this ball going forward!

The Hyroad Nano has been a very anticipated ball, and for me it doesn’t disappoint.  It’s just as good as you’d expect it to be from the name, but the reaction is very humble and simple, it’s easily the most balanced ball in terms of reaction I’ve ever thrown.  It’s been hard for me to come up with good descriptive terms for it because it’s so even across the board.  If anything, it’s on the smooth-ish side with a slow-ish response to friction, so lots of control, but still a surprising amount of hit.  For regular use on a house shot it will likely need some polish, but on medium to heavier volume sport patterns, this ball will be a factor.  This ball DEFINITELY reminds me of the Hyroad, very similar shape, just earlier and smoother and about 4-5 boards stronger overall.  Very near the Phaze 2 in terms of overall hook, but with a smoother move on the backend.  For me, the hype is well deserved, I very confidently recommend this ball.

I am one of the few people on the planet who did not have success with the original Hyroad.  For me it was too strong off the dry, but not strong enough in the oil.  I loved the Pearl and the solid was okay.  I was looking forward to the Nano, because if it is a blend of the original and solid, I figured I would love it and so far I do.

I have used it on a variety of patterns, including a short and a 39' sport pattern.  I used it for 9 games on the 39' sport pattern and just chased the pattern left and averaged 238 for the 9 games leading the event.  The Nano was great on the fresh as it blended out the back of the lane, but was strong enough to handle the volume at over 30mls.  As the pattern broke down, I continued to chase it left and the Nano never stopped hitting.  I used the Phaze II on a few fill balls, just to see what it would do and it was cleaner through the front and probably a couple boards weaker overall. 

I believe the Hyroad Nano will be a great benchmark ball that will be able to be used on many patterns.  Hopefully I will love it as much as everyone else loves the original Hyroad.  My first impression is that I will.

LANE CONDITION

Length: Medium Lengths

Volume: Medium Volumes

Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Various Patterns


The New HyRoad Nano has the Inverted FE2 Core which is the main stay of the HyRoad series of bowling balls.  This legendary core is surrounded by the super aggressive NRG Solid Reactive coverstock.  The HyRoad series of bowling balls are not my favorite and the HyRoad Nano reminds me of the HyRoad Solid.  However, HyRoad Nano is stronger and more continuous from the foul line to the back stop than the HyRoad Solid.  The aggressive continuation of the HyRoad Nano is impressive.  I am not a power player (rev rate around 300).  My PAP is 5 5/8 over and ¾ up and I like to keep my angles straighter if possible. I have all the confidence in the world to chase the pattern left with the HyRoad Nano.  On a regular house pattern the HyRoad Nano with have me slightly more left than usual compared to an IQ Tour.  The HyRoad Nano is strong enough to handle the shots I get left and is continuous enough when I get the ball to the right early.  What I noticed from the ball reaction against the original HyRoad and an IQ Tour is the HyRoad Nano is a beast.  The HyRoad Nano is easily an arrow left of the IQ Tour and is smoother at the breakpoint than the IQ Tour.  The original HyRoad is two arrows right compared to the HyRoad Nano and is more reactive to the wet and the dry.  The HyRoad Nano also takes polish really well and with more conserved energy the HyRoad Nano is still continuous but allows you to keep your angles manageable.  The HyRoad Nano will be in my bag for the heavier medium to short sport patterns that needs controllability with power!

I didn’t know what to expect either this ball. I absolutely hated the hyroad and loved the nano though. So, I figured I would give it a try at least. To say the least I am quite happy with this ball. This ball holds the ok doesn’t over read the pattern for me. I was surprised with all my other hyroads as soon as they saw friction they made left turns, but this one with the nano cover is much different. Not to much hook nor not to little.  This is a super piece. The shelf appeal is good and has a favorite of fine coconut cream scent. This ball is available now.

We test on THS and sport pattern

Excerpt:
In the end, Storm added 2 known entities to create the Hy-Road Nano. This one is cover dominant, especially with this much grit out of the box. You get smooth midlane control and smooth controllable backend. It’s pretty even across it’s phases. Obviously the shape of the pattern will either make this ball look great or so-so. In the end, we felt this ball will be great for sport shots and decent on house shots. It’s a bit niche and it reminds us of the Match, Torrent and Hy-Road solid in that regard. But when you need that smoothness front and back, this ball will be great. I definitely can see this motion being an asset on shorter patterns.
