Lol I'm not saying it doesn't work, Storm is arguably the best company out there right now. I'm just saying that the R2- coverstock has been around for a long time. The Hyroad name is pretty played out. A lot of their releases are getting really repetitive. Now it's new stuff that acts like the old stuff, and the old stuff is really good, so that's why people aren't complaining much, but I've had several people comment recently that they keep releasing the same type of stuff. Yeah it's getting that way across the board in bowling, I don't think ball technology really has anywhere else to go, but when you keep a ball like the Hyroad in production for as long as they have, that sends a couple messages. Number one it says that if a 5 year old ball is better than anything else they've been putting out, where is technology really going? It's a simple ball with a simple core, why pay more money for anything else? The Hyroad will also work on the majority of conditions the majority of bowlers see.
Storm definitely has the corner on the market, I just worry that they're milking the same cow too long . .
Whether you like it or not, they are in the business of selling balls, which they obviously do quite well.
There stuff clearly rolls well across multiple styles and surfaces, so if you don't like what they are doing, just don't buy/sell their stuff. You will still be in the minority.
