I’m coming late to the storm party having been initially put off by the IQ Tour Fusion. That ball for me looked great to the pocket but I couldn’t carry. I dabbled with Radical before settling with Motiv. Motiv do smooth reacting solids well at the top of the bag but I struggled with the bottom of the bag until I found the Hustle Ink.

So the Hustle Ink has me thinking that the legend that is the Hy-Road could have a place in my bag and I was wondering if folks still use it and if so, under what conditions and where it sits in their arsenal for them.

As for layout recommendations, does it work better with shorter/longer pin to PAP, that high RG and lower diff for the 14lb has me worried.

Thanks in advance for the advice

I was way late to the party with the original HyRoad but I have one now.  I picked it up around Christmas and have about 10 or so games on it now.  I just hit the box surface with a 3000 pad (that has 2-3 uses on it) just to knock that shine off and I'm letting it lane shine up some.  Great ball motion so far and is a good step up from my Hectic.

No 2 piece reads the mid lane better (of at least the 6 I own already).  My only knock is with my style I have problems getting it to turn on fresh shot but once I can find some friction its my go to ball.  Have to really screw up to get a nasty split with it with my ball speed.

The diff goes down to .037 and the RG inscreaes slightly further to 2.58 on the 14lb

 Never owned or threw one until last night. Bought a “used and abused” 2013 model off the used ball rack, had it plugged and redrilled pin up, cg in palm, about a 5X4 with a deep 1/2 inch weighthole in the pap.

 I’m already thinking about owning a new one. And a pearl too.

 On our shot, had to start out a little deeper than I anticipated. Didn’t think it was supposed to be this strong, but hey, it’s a typical house shot.

 Feet on 30, target 14th board. Almost instantly, you know. If you’ve ever had “that ball”, then you know what I mean. It doesn’t do anything crazy, it doesn’t do anything spectacular, but what it does, it does it in such a way that you just know what’s coming.

Yeah its a heck of a ball.  Its just too bad I have to put so much surface on it to use it on the conditions I see, at least for league.  For most people though its plenty of ball for virtually any THS including even after some transition.  Also the pearl is good but it really needs friction.  You may be able to use it right out of the bag but its almost a dry ball for me.
