I really appreciate this thread and the non-staffer opinions on this ball. My buddy just bought one and shot 644 out of the box, but that was one outing. I loved the T-Road Pearl but found the OG Hyroad with the exact same layout to be very inconsistent despite multiple surface changes. I was about to buy the X but now am having second thoughts! I need a new benchmark ball. A Blue Vibe might be calling my name instead.

I didn't have any problems with mine at first, it really liked straighter angles, or getting in really deep.  Otherwise on a house shot at like 3rd or 4th arrow . . the track for most people these days . . I had to have the right set of circumstances.  Wasn't that I didn't end up liking it, it was that I had something better in whatever look I was going for most of the time, and what the X is really good at never really happened much for me.  It's great in super garbage time when you need length and boom on REALLY toasty lanes, but I just never see that, most of the time I just ended up grabbing it at the bottom trying to get it to start up earlier because I was using it on wetter conditions than it was built for.
