BRING THIS BALL BACK
I just got this nano, and you're bang on. Probably the most balanced ball reaction I've ever had and so versatile. Feels like the ultimate benchmark ball, it's a shame that it's discontinued.
i have the red and black hyroad and that ball rips the rack apart so this nano has me excited
i PHoeNiK the Solid is great for oil. I have two drilled identical but one has a lot more games on it with my second having around 25 since I plugged and drilled it with 5 games on it before me.
I bought a Nano 2 days ago after having an IQ Fusion for some time. This thing is a beast. I adjusted to throw between the second and third arrows and I was clocking games at 234 coming from a solid 190 average with my Fusion. It attacks from all over but it does leave some wicked spares if your off.
There’s no chance of a comparison of this ball, the tour Nano, and the new IQ Nano Pearl huh? Just curious since the covers are similar
Very little lol . . this one and the Tour Nano had some distinct shape similarities, this one was just longer and stronger, but the Nano Pearl is in a different direction, rounder but stronger, more dynamic.
Luke Rosdahl figured it might be a fun comparison, but you probably only have the two older ones in righty, so either way you would have to drill for the compro
Hey Luke, does this overlap with Phaze 2? What surface should I put both balls for a good 1-2 punch for league?
Not really, core is quite a bit weaker. I'd keep them at like a light lane shine or else they'll be too early and slow
Gibbs bowls with me on Tuesday nights in KC, great videos! Keep it going!
Due to my heavier roll, I tend to not be able to use asymm stuff for very long (even the cleaner ones) and since I hate the idea of having a huge arsenal, this ball will for sure be a go to for me. Seems like a hyroad for fresh sport shots. I NEED this.
Ball looks like a perfect complement to the HY ROAD line. Nano cover is definitely a winner
😍 Got one coming!!!
Replacing my black widow legend with this ball, can't wait to start throwing it again! My bowling center pro shop had a showcase for dozens of different balls and o kept coming back to this one and just had to get it!
I need a Nano replacement, what's the closest ball out there?
It was the Hyroad Max, but I'm not sure what it would be at the moment.
Why was it discontinued?
Stuff comes and goes, kind of normal for most stuff
@@LukeRosdahl hey Luke would a phaze 2 and hy road x would be a good one two combo or what would you recommend since I play a sport long patterns about 45 to 48 feet and a medium patterns 39 to 42? What are your Best two
Thoughts on this ball 4 years later? I can get one for $300
Definitely not worth $300, that's waaay over charging
Luke buddy, I have to ask. 2 years later of course lol. How does this ball compare to the Phaze 2? I one is discontinued and ones not but if i have a way to get one or the other what would fit a more 6 ball versatile arsenal for a 2 hander.
Phaze 2 is a fair bit earlier and stronger. Shapes are fairly close though. I'd just get a Phaze 2 lol . .
I'm not much of a Storm guy these days other than my Code Black but you might have talked me into the Hyroad Nano.
Started with this on Jan 2nd and at first it was so much stronger than my Hy-Road that I never thought it would work for me but once I got used to it and it's cover, well, it's almost all I use now, or I switch from my Hy-Road to this somewhere toward the end of the first game. Biggest scores EVER and most consistent scores EVER with this ball and I just LOVE it.
I am starting to get questions (Hey, is that a new ball?) because no one is used to seeing my name as a regular bracket winner. My game and this ball are meant for each other
Mark Lewis I like it too, just haven’t been able to use it very often. All about matching up
Just got this ball and ordered an INK
So I have a physiX , a hyroad nano and a hyroad pearl. I’m looking for a step up for my hyroad pearl that is going to retain a lot of energy and be more of that “pearl” type reaction that focus on length and backend . I was thinking of the soniq or the intense fire . What do you think would round out my arsenal better
Good amount of carry for all the light mixers. I'd be interested to throw it and change the surface. How would you say it compares to the IQ Tour solid? The IQ is one of my favorite balls ever.
Just received a hyroad nano.. but not sure if I want to put holes in it 🤷♂️
Hi Luke! I bowl no thumb one handed and currently use a code black. The problem is I’m having some difficulty controlling it. I’m thinking of picking up a hy road because it seems to have a much more balanced reaction. Would you recommend the hyroad Nano over the original? Thank you sir!
Hyroad Nano hooks more but is smoother, Hyroad is still pretty bouncy but isn't crazy, you might actually look at something like the Hustle Ink or IQ Tour Solid, I've got videos for all of them though, so take a look and see what you think and then get back to me if you have more questions!!
Luke Rosdahl hi Luke, I have the opportunity to pick up an iq tour fusion that’s in really good shape! Should I go for it?? From what I’ve read, it seems well balanced with a little added punch at the end.
TheIntrinity Yeah definitely!
im a 12 year old 2 hander with 400 revs and im getting this ball
Cool!! I really like mine so far, can't wait to throw it more.
I'm similar to you but 13 you need to get into 15-16 ASAP it put my average up to 203. The pin carry increase is insane. Love My Alpha Crux, Pitch Black , Hyroad and timeless. Really suggest one of these for you. My rev rate is 550 but you could get used to one of these
How would you describe the NRG cover? How is that different from the R2S?
Eye ss NRG is a lot like R2S Solid, it’s just tons stronger
Is this a 3 ball?
Yeah it could be for a high enough rev rate, I'd probably make it a 4 ball for me.
@@LukeRosdahl currently have a halo, hyroad nano & an old secret agent. What can u suggest for me to get?
Deciding between this and the iq tour solid for a middle ball in my arsenal. Is the hyroad nano a better overall? I have the halo, idol, son!q, and a hyroad. I’m looking for the spot between the son!q and the idol.
Hi enjoy your videos. I’m a bowler in high school so I usually play on house shots. I have the storm marvel pearl and storm ride both I really enjoy. I don’t have a ball with a solid cover and am looking into either hyroad Nano, iq tour, or phaze 2. Can you tell me the differences between those 3?? Thanks
Hyroad Nano is right between those two shape-wise. IQ Tour is really smooth and kind of early rolling but not early hooking, Phaze 2 hooks a bit more and has more shape on the backend than both of these. So far I'm liking the Nano the best because it's the best of both worlds. Phaze 2 can be too much sometimes, IQ Tour not enough, and this is right in the middle. If you have a high rev rate, I'd go IQ. If you have a medium rev rate, go Nano, if you play pretty straight, go Phaze 2.
I still have absolutely no idea why this ball was discontinued... At least we have the motiv's Rogue Assassin which seems to have the very similar reaction
Just out of the loop, out with the old, in with the new.
Would you recommend a polished Hyroad Nano pin up or a Marvel pearl pin up on the break down?
How different would the Nano be to the original hyroad if the Nano was taken to 1500 polished? Thank you
Should be just a touch stronger really, like 2ish boards.
Agreed, I don't like how this ball is finishing. Hitting very light, not consistently driving through the pins and if that is due to friction. Well .... it wouldnt get any better in the track, and I wish Luke would give a look that's not 5th arrow. Nobody plays that deep.
Bill Bumgarner That’s kinda what I’m stuck with. The lanes were pretty beat up before I got on them, hopefully I’ll be able to get some better video sometime. Even on the fresh the track is 3rd to 4th arrow at this house, go much outside of that and ball reaction gets inconsistent
Luke Rosdahl, I hear you - sorry, came off a little harsher than I intended. I can appreciate that, especially considering what I bowl on every week. All that matters for reviews is a consistent comparison, which you definitely give video to video, with that bring said - I'm still confused as to where this balls strength lies, as it looks to be a little less comfortable that deep than other balls I've watched you review. Maybe not. Maybe a little laneshine and it's right at home.
Bill Bumgarner Nah it’s cool. It wasn’t an ideal situation for the review but I’m in a time crunch and it was either take what I got and at least get something out or have to wait another week. Find Fred Callahan’s video and check it out, he plays pretty straight. Part of my issue is that the lanes were burnt and the backends were soft, plus my mechanics showed back up over the weekend so I’m absolutely flying out of it now. Lol it actually looks pretty good for this house so . .
Bill Bumgarner Fred I’d Pro Shop is the name of the channel
“Nobody plays that deep.” Whereas I might agree not too many 1 handers play that deep, 2 handers definitely do that. I’m a 2 handers and on a typical house shot, with my HyRoad, I’m finishing with my sliding foot on the gutter, letting the ball roll out to maybe 4 or 5 and having it snap back in. But that’s just me, I throw a big hook. Don’t get me wrong, I love throwing a Pitch Black or even my spare ball, but the big hook is definitely achievable
Being a 2 handed bowler with 0* axis tilt anything for me is so harsh on the backend. I loved the hyroad pearl its a great skip flip look for me but again cuz of the way i throw gets so angular. What kinda look is this going to give me... and compassion? And will it be too strong for me or is it that clean?
This is going to give you traction but a really smooth and balanced read off friction. The more I watch it, the more the word smooth comes to mind. I think this would be a pretty good compliment to your pearl.
Would you say this sits above or below the code red in total hook potential??
Actually a little above, the Nano cover is really what does it despite the differences in core strength, just a couple boards though. Definitely a different shape though, CR is earlier and smoother, Nano is longer with more pop once you get some lane shine on it.
Which ball do you like better the drive or the hyroad nano
How is this in comparison to the hyroad solid?
matt klein The Hyroad Solid sucks and this one doesn’t lol. Not terribly different, this one is stronger though and stronger at the pins
Luke Rosdahl Hahaha love your honesty. The hyroad solid did suck wasn't a fan. Looking forward to adding this to my bag
Luke Rosdahl agreed
How is the hook potential of this ball compared to the Intense? I understand the shape would be completely different, but not sure how strong this ball is going to be. I am looking to add a solid piece to my arsenal (currently the Intense and the Code Black) and not sure where this ball would fit in terms of strength. Thank you :)
I've got it a solid 3 boards weaker.
Hey Luke How does it compare to the show off as of hook and length and continuation ?
Kaden Rogillio Not as aggressive as the Show Off, a bit longer and similar continuation
Thank you luke
Looking for a ball a little bit stronger than my Wipe Out when it was new. Would this fit the bill? Or should I go with something else? More so a question on the shape.
Actually yeah, I think you'd see it pretty similar, just stronger.
I have a question, I have been throwing a Brunswick rhino, I need to build an arsenal, what storm/ Roto grip balls would you suggest for someone like Me? I have low revs, 14-15 ball speed. The conditions I bowl on are two different bowling centers. They say the oil pattern length is 41 feet house shot. Both places use the kegel flex machine with fire and ice oil. One house seems to be a tad dryer as far as volume is concerned. Thanks in advance for any info you can give. Also I'm a lefty and there isn't many lefties that bowl in my league so I'm usually the only lefty 75% of the time on my lanes
What I am wanting to know what would be good to start with and what would compliment that one later in games when the lanes dry out
I know I'm too young but how can you become a storm staffer in the future?
PBA All Star Really just about your ability to represent the company well and get people buying and using the equipment, that’s all it’s about. You don’t have to average 240 and shoot big numbers all the time or win a ton of tournaments. All that helps, but selling the equipment is the deal
Would you recommend the Nano, Phaze II, or the Trick as a replacement for the Haywire? I’m a lefty, lower rev, lower speed player.
Phaze 2 would probably be the closest. Not quite as strong as the Haywire, little longer and punchier, but that's the closest thing you're going to find right now.
Luke Rosdahl Thanks for the response! I guess my 4 ball arsenal will be all Storm balls then. I’m looking to grab the Sure Lock, Intense, Phaze II, and Hyroad coming soon. Not sure if I’m leaving any big gaps.
what roto grip ball would this be close to or resemble ?
how would you compare this ball to the iq tour
Would this be a good replacement for the phaze two? What would the differences be between the two?
Hyroad Nano is a lot longer and stronger, so I'd actually just get another Phaze 2 if you're looking for that kind of ball motion.
Luke Rosdahl I just shined my phase 2 and picked up a code x so we will see how they play with each other in transition
Luke Rosdahl If I don't like the shine...would the idol be a decent fit with a weaker layout to fit under the code x?
So hard to make a decision but it's time. I currently use a code black and fantatic drilled up and a breeze. Currently I start 10 left of center and throw at 17-20 most of the day and slide out to 10 or so. I want something a little lighter when things break down. I no longer have a solid anymore. I have been looking at both the hyroad and the nano. Any thoughts between the two? Your shot is very similar to mine I just have more hand in it so it seems to break a little harder
If you want something for when they break down, and have heavier hand, the Nano with some polish might be best. It's earlier and smoother than the original, and it doesn't read friction as strong so it SEEMS to almost go longer and be less aggressive. I can play pretty straight with it on a fairly dry condition and it gets lazy for me, so for someone with more hand, might be perfect. Nano is still a strong cover, so you might actually look at a Hustle Ink honestly . . still a solid, but not quite as strong, so good option for heavy hands.
ok I have the breeze for break down but it almost seems like my hand makes is really squirrelly until the lanes are completely toast. i may try both. I basically have a three ball arsenal at this point. I have an old Raw Hammer jacked and anger but they are so old they are basically a paper weight at this point. coverstocks are destroyed on them. Thanks Luke
Yeah, Tropical doesn't have the cover nor the core to work well until they get really super dry. Nano is super smooth, so it works well for heavy hands too. Most of the time mine doesn't quite have enough pop for me on the back.
I noticed that in the video i have more tilt to get it a little sideways
How would it compare to the trick
Hi Luke. I have a med rev rate and speed. Looking for Heavy oil condition ball. Hyroad Nano, Drive or Sure Lock? Thanks
Lol I would actually skip all those and go Idol UNLESS you want Storm specifically, then I'd go Sure Lock easy.
I need to get a mid range solid ball to fill a hole in my arsenal. This or the IQ?
Lol if you ask me I'm going to give you several options over the IQ. This one, Torrent, Dare Devil Trick, etc. IQ is great for really big rev rates, but if you have a lower or medium rev rate, I'd go for one of the other ones I mentioned.
Luke Rosdahl alright thanks, I'm in that mid range of everything with my revs and tilt etc so that is cool. I'll go get this, a coach of mine wants me to get this.
Luke Rosdahl For my lower rev rate, would you suggest the Hyroad Nano or the Torrent (provided I can find one)? The Torrent has a larger core, but the RG/Diff numbers are almost identical.
My "arsenal" is small and consists of a hyroad and a mix for a spare. Could I add this to my set as an more aggressive striker or is it redundant with a regular hyroad already in play?
James Johnson Not really, big difference between R2S Hybrid and the Nano cover. Will give you a familiar feel with almost an arrow more hook
@@LukeRosdahl Cool, maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks
what is your rev rate, axis rotation, and axis tilt?
jace welsh 350-425, 45, 6-7
I need to replace my IQ Tour Fusion. What current ball is similar to this ball?
Original Dare Devil isn't far off, they shape similar and with the IQ Tour having uncommon core numbers, really hard to match something up. All Out Show Off isn't quite as aggressive but it's close as far as shape goes. Dare Devil probably the closest though. I was thinking the Son!Q might be the ticket, but we'll have to wait a bit longer to see on that.
LUKE!!!! how does this compare to the HUSTLE INK?
ernesto janniere Lol it doesn’t. Ink plus 2 arrows equals Hyroad Nano haaaaa . . Shape isn’t terribly different, just a lot more hook
OK GOTCHA appreciate ya!!!!!
How does it compare to the phaze 2?
Jake H That’s a good question, Phaze 2 is a bit earlier, revs up a bit stronger, and shapes a little more, or has more shape, but they’re similar-ish
It looks like it rolls similar to the DDT
Jacy Vandemerwe Actually not far off. Doesn’t roll quite as heavy but shapes quite a bit like it
I have honestly never liked the nano cover stock. I’m a storm/Roto guy all day. To my eye this ball seems to burn up energy, and could be over under. IMO that’s just me.
AW Fishing Lanes were pretty beat up when I got to them, hope to get better video sometime.
so I'm confused, do you like this ball or not?
jace welsh Actually like it quite a bit, should be good on something fresh
Comparison to Hyroad Pearl anyone?
So this is a stronger rocket ship?
LionsTigersBearsOhMy Animals Actually wouldn’t say that. It’s on par with the Rocket Ship and the Torrent as far as strength goes, just shapes kind of in between them.
So Luke I have a rocket ship and it’s not the best on higher volumes would this hyroad be better to start with?
Looks like u are playing too deep with it and barely makin it back up the hill for shakers just a tad lazy (at least where u are playing in video)
CleSwag24 That’s all I had. Lanes were in bad shape when I got to them, any further right and it was heading left at 30 feet
