I've been bowling since 1998. This is the best ball reaction I've ever seen.

That's all, I don't have much else. Sorry.

Let me expand on my original post.

I took this ball down to 3000 after the first 3 shots with it so it's pretty much the only motion that I "know" from the ball. It has that easy length that the hyroad balls have. Like all legendary balls, the one trait that they have in common is a large window at the breakpoint.

Meaning that the miss area left to right at the 40-45ft mark is larger than any ball I've probably every thrown. Easy house shots magnify that window, but the thing that makes this ball *special* in my eyes is that it gets to that spot down the lane and peels no matter how bad I miss it, or how much I get on it at the bottom.

With most of todays balls, the harder you get on it at the bottom, the faster it stands up and the weaker it finishes. With Hyroad X, I see the opposite, the more you give it at the bottom, the more it gives you downlane. Combine that with being very forgiving left to right and you have a ball that will be one of the best looks in my bag on many different conditions, volumes, and lengths.

For me it's HyRoad up front/Marvel Pearl down lane. A beast of a ball for my game.

Good stuff. Sounds like what I'm seeing out of mine as well.

Are you still liking the Hustle HYB? Your post about it a while back was one of the things I kept in mind when I got mine. No regrets whatsoever with that one. You have me thinking about the X now.

Yes! Hustle HYB is the first ball out of my bag regardless of the shot. It does have the tendency to get flat downlane and corner in transition. I rarely get to get a full set out of the ball, but when I do it blends the lane super well and it's very predictable. It's one of those balls you can 3/1 all night with and not give up pocket.

My main league bag now looks like: Hyroad X, Hustle HYB, Badger. The badger is super sideways. It's usually all or nothing out of that thing.
