When I first heard Storm was releasing a different version of the Hyroad, I immediately started thinking about what tournament I was going to win next.  Making a pearl version of one of arguably, the best balls ever made?  Yeah I’ll take 10 please.  The motion of this ball is pretty self-explanatory.  It’s a Hyroad, same name, same guts, just a different cover.   With this ball, I see more length and more pop down lane.  The original Hyroad reads the mid-lane extremely well for me, but if I need something with the same shape, just two-to-four feet later, I’m putting the pearl in my hand. This gives me another option when I see friction and am looking for hook down lane. 

   For the straighter players, I think it’s a great option because you can play farther right with a more direct line or even move in and this ball will have enough pop to create some shape.  The high rev guys are going to love this ball when they have to stand left, throw right, and watch it fly back to the pocket.  Whenever I think a ball is going to have a “flippy” motion, I always drill it stronger to smooth out that flip.  My favorite Hyroad Pearl has the pin under my ring finger, with a slight shift, and a weight hole approximately 2’ under my pap.  This will be a ball I will drill many of and strike a ton with too! Go drill some!
