Perhaps I'm the only one that feels this way, but I feel like the CrossRoad was a little ahead of its time. The Hy-Road wasn't quite for Medium-Heavy anymore by the time this ball came out, but it was still very versatile and read rather well on anything medium. For me at this point, the Hy-Road is money on medium-medium light (tslking about mostly higher surfaces). Storm has used stronger cores on weaker covers in the Code series and some find that to be enough for them. I feel like the stronger cores allow the ball to read better to be thrown at higher surfaces for the clean hard arc we have become accustomed to. I didn't have the opportunity to see the Rockets used much (except the Rocketship) so I can't really provide much there.
