I'm no Storm expert, but I have the Hy-Road (R2S Hybrid) and a Street Rod Pearl (Reactor Pearl). Hy-Road is drilled pin in ring finger and the CG in grip center, no weight hole. The Street Rod Pearl is drilled pin over ring finger, CG under ring on the midline, no weight hole. Pin in the ring with CG in the grip center usually yields a benchmark type reaction for me, which is what I was looking for in the Hy-Road. The Hy-Road has a lot more backend reaction than I was expecting at box finish. It is earlier than the Street Rod Pearl, but definitely reacts harder to friction. The Street Rod Pearl gives me a lot of length with a smooth backend. Hope this helps some.
