Yes, I am comparing a Storm to a Hammer ball here. Just curious how the two compared. I am thinking about getting a Burn for sure, but was wondering how a Hy-Road would compare as far as overall strength and angularity.

Thanks.

Umm.... what was the burn drilled negative. The burn is much more agressive on the backend then the hyroad. The hyroad is allergic to carry down vs the burn. Drilled identical, you will get at least 2 more boards out of the burn, they do them in different ways, but still overall more agressive!

Hmm..Lets see what I have in this bag...some virtual gravity, some hot sauce, a liberator, and a saw.. how can I loose....

....HG-300(2006 w/Desert Heat)...299 (03/15/09 w/Agent Orange)...HS-776 (Hot Sauce Pearl & Ebonite Magic)

Well I'm gonna have to agree with ccrider on this one.  Coverstock trumps core.  HyRoad has a hybrid cover at 1500 grit polish & Burn is a pearl at 4000 polish.  No question the Hy-Road.

I have a HyRoad drilled pin under, No.2 drilling if I remember correctly. The ball has no problem with carry down and I have it at 2000 polished to a nice shine with Bean's sauce. Off the spot, the HyRoad, OOB and at 2000 polished, is more angular than any Burn that I have seen, and there are several being used in our league.

You can adjust the cover to change the reaction of the ball, and the bowlers style certainly will affect how the ball rolls,  but based on what I have seen, the Burn OOB is not as angular, and does not cover as many boards as the HyRoad.

Those that can do. Those that can't complain. Pimpin ain't easy, but it's mandatory.

Most things we like, we don't need. Most things we need, we don't like. Don't confuse your likes with your needs.

You are better off comparing the Reign vs the Burn...
