Not enough shape downlane for the masses, it was pretty damn early as well.

I don't think the ball is a failure, it is just a very niche ball. I've seen people have a lot of success with the Hy-Road Solid, but I just think that the conditions have to be just right for them to see use.

I have one. Love it. Became my benchmark ball. I was bowking a second shift mixed league and this ball was money for me. Allowed me to move in and wheel the lane and cut through the carrydown from all the plastic on the first squad

I was thinking this ball should have had 1500 polish like it did overseas.

Im with ya dozer. And i was using it on wood

I am surprised at this complete thread.

I had the chance to throw a couple of HyRoad Solids at a ball trial.  The conditions were much oilier that our usual shot and the ball dull was unstoppable!  Tremendous close to the hole and carry.

Subsequent I have seen the ball in my home house thrown dull and too wide and it has looked like crap.  I have also seen a polished version played by a thumb hanger low rev player and it has looked great!  Very small move to the hole and a lot of carry!

Now I have picked up a very well reviewed T Road Solid (on this site) and thrown it while still in it's righty configuration and I am surprised that a setup that is 6 1/2 X 5 1/4 cg position for me how much backend it has and push!

My question is how can it be so bad versus the TRoad Solid which was so well received?

Thanks,

Well I believe the r2s has had many updates and is not the same exact cover with each release. 

The T-road had to be a weaker version of the cover before it evolved into what it is today.  That's my only answer.
