How can bowling balls really improve? All new tech is for heavy oil
Not true. The Hyroad was one of the best balls that was ever made because it was breed from 2 great balls before it, the T-Road Solid and Pearl. The 2 were so great for their individual conditions but had so much separation between the 2 that the Hyroad was made to bridge the gap. What consumers got was an incredible backending ball that could read oil like the solid but stand up off the friction like the pearl.
Aside from that, not all tech is made for heavy oil. Some of the best balls were made from the medium/dry because of usability. My personally opinion, the Crossroad is close to the same league as the Hyroad. Very similar read with a smoother backend but stronger in oil. The Cyclone from Ebonite, another really good ball with backend that is less than 100 bucks. The Nexxxus, Tropical Heat Hybrid, Karma Solid, Bull Whip S.E., Cobra S.E.are all great pieces that arent for heavy oil.
