Hy-Road Staff Review
« on: October 29, 2008, 12:26:20 PM »
Box Specs:
15# 3oz, Top 3.22, Pin 2-2.5

Layout Selected:
Rico, Xhole at 5" thru CG, 13/16, 2 1/2 deep

PAP:
4 3/4 x 1" down (yes 1" down)

Speed:
13.5-14.0 mph

Initial Observations:
After watching Duke win with this piece on Sunday I was anxiously awaiting
its arrival.  Amazing it should show up on Monday right after a great day
on TV.   Due to my turtle like ball speed I wanted to select a layout I would
be able to use on the lane conditions I see most often, which is a THS but
on a 2nd shift shot.   I wanted something that wasnt going to go crazy on the
dry and would be a tad bit rolly.   With this layout the test games I have
bowled have shown it to be exactly this.   Very smooth roll and very
controlable on the backend.   The ball motion reminds me of my Strike Cell,
which also has a Hybrid cover.   I have a 2nd HyRoad that I am planning to
drill to compare a more aggressive layout to the Rico on this one.   I will
post more as more games are put onto this piece.

Thanks again and hope this helps,
Joe
