Hy-Road vs Midnight VIBE
« on: April 14, 2011, 11:24:17 PM »
Anybody out there thrown a HyRoad and Midinight VIBE?   Just wondering how similar they are to each other? 

 

I have the VIBE and Victory Road and I was just wondering if the HY Road is a good fit between them?  Or, is the Hy-Road so similar to the VIBE that it is immaterial.

 

Thanks,

MK

The Midnight Vibe is much cleaner through the fronts than the Victory Road, and the Hyroad picks up EARLIER than the Victory Road.  I honestly doubt this will fit in between the two.  The Victory Road to the Midnight Vibe is a pretty small hole to fill.  The only ball that I would think could fit between them would be an Onyx Vibe.

For me, the Onyx Vibe is earlier and smoother than a Victory Road in the OOB finish and similar layouts, at least for me so I don't think the Onyx is what you're looking for.  I would think about a 2Fast / Tropical Heat for that spot.  Both will be longer than the VR and have more backend than the MV.   The Hy-Road / Victory Road type of core will turn harder when it sees friction than the Vibes will.  What I generally do is judge how much backend the lanes have on a given night, if I need to control downlane motion a bit more, I'll use Vibes and if I need a little more backend, I'll use a VR.
