The Hyroad Max features the NeX solid cover and famed symmetric inverted FE squared core. NeX solid was launched on the Axiom, and was most recently on the Proton PhysiX, and is an evolution of NRG. More durability, more entry angle, and more strength, and so far the Axiom has been a favorite among the touring players, while the Proton is picking up steam as well. There isn’t much to say about the inverted FE squared core that hasn’t been said, it’s the Hyroad core coming in at a 2.57 RG and an .046 differential in 15 pounds. The higher RG helps the ball get further down the lane while the medium high differential helps it recover and punch down lane. The blend of the longer and stronger core with the super strong cover creates a unique look that helps you get traction and predictability without it starting up as early as something like an Axiom or a Proton PhysiX, and would be a nice step down from either of those when they get too early. It should also be a great option on shorter but heavier sport patterns and on heavier patterns overall when chasing the shot inside. As the lane transitions, you sometimes need stronger covers to dig through the volume without stronger cores making the ball start up too early. The Hyroad Max gets a 7 for hook, a 5 for length, and a 5 for backend strength
