These reports make me wonder why Storm continues to try to replace it. Since sales must still be good, I see no reason, especially since they keep upgrading the major source of ball reaction, the R2S coverstock.

I might get another one. I hardly get a ball that matches up with me right out of the box.  My very first hy-road, I had used at a tourney for the first time. I was somewhat struggling at the time, but the Hy-road helped change that.

just the smoothness of the ball motion, the way it goes through the pins, why replace it or ever stop production.

The start of the second half I was in a slump, lost 11 sticks. I've slowly gained 3 sticks back in the last month or so. But the hy-road might help me gain more lol.

I haven't thrown a 2014-16 Hy-Road but I loved the ones before that. It just flat out works. I don't see a ball replacing it for quite some time.

Hywire is pretty damn close.
