If you flip the t-road block, don't you end up with a thunder line core? I alwas thought the thunderstruck balls were just inverted T-Road balls.

 {ON EDIT}
  In the video, the block has a flip piece on the bottom.  Don't the T-Roads already have the flip piece on the bottom?
 The Hy-Road looks more to me like an old ERASER core than anything else.

Wow, this ball is smooth.  Not surprising given the coverstock (the Sure Fire likewise was a pretty smooth rolling piece)

Anything with the R2S or R2X coverstock is actually not all that flippy, especially if you knock the cover down (the factory finish on their polished equipment is way too shiny for most bowlers in my opinion).  Storm's really focused on making their equipment less flippy and giving it more midlane in the past few years.
