I would love to see a hyroad vs Zen video. I am thinking of adding both to my aresenal and was wondering if they might be too close and overlap one another.
I definitely am excited to get back out there and throw the Hyroad OG. I've only played about 1-2 games on it so I haven't even begun to see what it can do. I definitely think the OG has the best of both worlds. Watching you has reignited my love for bowling again, thank you for the great content! Keep it up!
Just getting back into bowling after a 10+ year hiatus... After watching your video on it, I recently bought a HyRoad to start a new arsenal. After struggling to average 180 with my old equipment, shot 653 this morning with the new HyRoad.
Same exact thing for me but with the Hy Road Pearl! My average was about the same as yours and I just bowled 658 with it the other night 😂😂 haven’t even cleaned it since I last bowled regularly
Love your videos Luis. This was a great comparison and explanation of the two balls. I like how you throw a couple shots of each and explain and show the differences. Your video of the phaze 2 and 4 was really good as well.
I have a hyroad and I have cashed with it in so many times I could have bought 10 more with all the money it's made me! One of the best balls of all time.
so cool to see you loft one!!! maybe that could be a video you make if you need any topics for content....im a 200+ avg but i've never learned to loft it...and your channels is one of the best for no fluff education...thanks Luis!
I was fortunate enough to get gifted an original 2009 Hyroad recently. I loved the ball since it came out and its always in one of my bags....even though it may not get thrown as much it still makes the trip 🤣
Bought the Hyroad when it first came out and never used due to health reasons. I'm almost 60 and just started bowling again past month averaged 210 with it @ shot a 277 yesterday love the ball. Going to get the Pearl thinking it will be the go to when lanes start to break down. Love your videos!
Intro 👌😂...OG Hyroad is a personal fav bc of its overall versatility. It just matches up well for my game. Pearl is a great "go to" burn ball. Nice video, good stuff as always.
Great video! At the end you misread the ball reaction with the pearl. You kept moving left when the ball was going too long and kept coming in behind the headpin. The move should of been to slow the ball down more or move a little right to get the ball to get through the pins better. Again great video on displaying the differences between the balls; I can definitely tell! Thank you!
@@LuisNapoles funny how you just replied while I was watching your 4K Fast VS. video. I just drilled another Lock and tried it without polish (my first one I shined it up out of the box) DID NOT LIKE IT. Shined it up, and said to myself, "OH! SO THAT'S WHY I LIKED IT SHINY. 😂😂" It got through the front, still read the pattern correctly, and banked off of it the way I needed it to. 4K Fast for me is going to be an added hassle because I LIKE the polish and have used something as stupid as 180 grit and then polished on top. I'm not against surface, I just don't like throwing dull equipment until I have to or unless they come that way. (Gem, Axiom, or Proton PhysiX anyone?)
I purchased a Hyroad MAX before they discontinued it and a Pearl. Waiting to have them drilled for the Fall season - had previous experience with the MAX that ball really worked well for my game. Thanks for another great review.
Hy-road was my first ball outside my entry level ball. Lanes were really dry and I got my highest game at that time which was 257. The Hy-road pearl I've had for a month or so and if I get lost on the lanes, I just go to that ball and it usually helps me get where I need to be. Definitely 2 amazing balls
The Hy-Road Pearl was always my favorite. I had a 2014 that I used all the way to 2019 when I got another Hy-Road Pearl to replace it. It wasn’t the same and I rarely used it, went to Motiv about two years later.
@@LuisNapoles it was probably more along the lines of I had grown used to the HRP with 1000+ games on it, so when I got the fresh one it wasn’t what I was hoping for.
@@LuisNapoles Thanks for the information. I'll be the first to admit I've been out of the game for 15 years and just got back into it this past season. When I hear of pearls, solids, urethane, I think most are the same except for the core. It's my ignorance of the technology change, but I truly do enjoy watching these videos and trying to help along my knowledge of bowling ball technology.
The Hy-Road is a house shot killer, along with my Purple Hammer. If neither of them are in play, I switch to my VIP Affliction, and keep hitting the pocket. I also have a Reality that is waiting to be drilled.
Son has a Hyroad Max, he uses it exclusively for house, usually a 2000 pad on it and it lasts 2 games before he switches to a UC2 (right handed 2-hander)
You and the guys at JR Pro shop are my favorite bowling ball reviewers. When you do get the Night Road then I hope you will compare it against the OG Hyroad
My first ball when I began to bowl was the hyroad and it weighs 15lbs. I thought the guy was nuts for recommending it as I was a newbie but I have since learned how to throw it very well and will always say that it is my favorite ball.
My dad had two hyroads and hated them but his second one was drilled pin down under middle finger and I loved that ball and layout so when I drilled up my hyroad x I used that layout and the first night I threw it I had the front 8 strikes in the first game
I ❤️ the Hyroad. It’s my #1 ball. Thanks for the review. Can we see some about lane breakdown, oils, etc. I get lost when you talk about , etc. I’ll do my due diligence and scan your page if you have any videos pertaining to my requests. Thanks.
I have had someone last season mistake my hyroad x as the original hyroad.because of it being black with yellow writing and I showed them the hyroad x is all black and has a x in the hyroad name plate. I liked the og hyroad when it first came out but love the x I took the Polish off and sanded it with 1500/3000/p5000d trucut sanding pads and it is at same grit as with Polish but it's a little duller looking then it did with Polish. I might get both of the hyroad with same as my hyroad x lay out after I get my hands on a hustle wine and burner pearl.
For being two very popular balls, I'm surprised that this is the first video I could find that compares these two Hy-roads side by side. Great timing too, as I'm looking at one of these two balls to slot between my Brunswick Prism Hybrid and my entry-level ball. I'm leaning towards getting the OG Hy-road, because as a new-ish bowler, room for error is important.
I was very surprised as well that there was really nothing there LOL Good for me as a content creator though! I would agree with your assessment though on the Hyroad!
I always prided myself on being able to throw just about any ball with success. The Hyroad was a exception! I only kept it about a month and gave it away to a fellow bowler (turned out he didn't like it either). Kinda like your original feelings Luis about the Dark Code. Regardless, I always wanted to try the Hyroad Pearl and may just do so one of these days based on your review.
Hyroad Pearl looks like it can be good when the lanes are burnt. The OG HyRoad looks more versatile and a more consistent reaction where I can feel comfortable getting atleast 9 on every single good shot I make. Wish they can bring back the Victory Road Core.
I had a Hyroad in 15lb, but it cracked from bad storage. I use 14lb now anyway, so probably wouldn't use it much if it was still in one piece. Also the PSO drilled it pin down for some reason. Still working on getting it again. The local PSO now (different guy) is pretty cold on them (and he's on Storm staff), he thinks they're earlier than they used to be from changes to the R2S formula. I might actually get one though...14lb Burner Pearls are on backorder and I was going to get one of those for a good burn ball since my Emerald is pretty well used. Been thinking about one of the hyroads instead and you're definitely pushing me in that direction these last few videos I have to say.
I've got an old school Brunswick Headhunter (yes, I bought it from K Mart in 1992) that doesn't turn AT ALL no matter how much I try to hook it. I've bowled a couple of high games but only once above 200 (I may play once/year). Really thinking about the Hy Road Hybrid or the Night Road. Thanks for the review.
I'm getting a used black hy-road ball as a Christmas gift this year. The gentleman at my local pro shop said that as a beginner, any of the balls he had in stock would be suitable so I hope that this was a good choice for my purposes. It was between this, one called a "Squatch", and a Brunswick... "Karma"?
I traded the Spectre for the extra beefy 16 pound HRP. Only threw it a game and a half on a 38 foot sport shot (the opposite of ideal) but it didn't suck that bad.
@@LuisNapoles I drilled it slower plus the 2.52/0.058 numbers make the 16 a way different ball. But I couldn't get it drilled until just before the last night of league so I was going to throw it no matter what 😂
Awesome video. I just purchased the Pearl. Have had issues with consistency. When I throw, I stay behind the ball and come up into a hand shake at release. Is that the way my hand should be or I do I need to rotate my hand more? Generally I start about where you did on the fresh lane, close to center at the foul line and out around the 10 board
I got a different road many years ago, The fire road and it didn't turn out. That good was pretty good, but up-and-down, So I decided to finally get the hy road And it is very nice, I will have to probably get the ball back to factory finish, But after your last video it made me use my most aggressive ball first, On my league house shot, Then instead of going to my asymmetrical pearl nuke cell I might go to the hy road. So I need to have a favorite all time ball
hey love the video, id love to see you compare the hyroad pearl vs the A hyroad pearl with the 4k fast finish also would you recoment the 4kFast finish to other pearl balls?
Hi Luis, I just got my FIRST Hyroad (not the pearl) - I used it a couple of shots during league, my first full game was a 242, love it, should I also get the Hyroad Pearl?
Was thinking about getting a pearl and though I still like it, it seems the OG Hyroad is way more versatile and controllable. Need to think harder about this decision lol.....or.....get both 😅
If someone could help me out with this that would be great! So I am a a low speed, low rev bowler and I’ve been looking into the Phaze III, idol Helios and the iq tour. Do you think any of these balls might work for me? Let me know if you have any other suggestions. Also if your curious I currently have a raw hammer solid. Thank you!
I'm in the same boat and have been told that higher RGs are more beneficial to my roll, for what it's worth. Since I throw 14lb the iQs for me are 2.54 instead of 2.49 RG so they've always matched up really well for me.
Nice video freind getting ready to get a hyroad hybrid need something between Phase 2 and Hustle USA 🇺🇸. Sometimes Zen Dark Code,Phase 5 just a little to much. Thanks 👍 😊
I've had 3 original Hyroads, and liked them all. Consistent ball, not flashy, clean and predictable. I've had 2 Hyroad Pearls, and didn't like either of them. They are useless for me on the fresh house shot (ie league). I only ever had a good look with them, on open bowl lanes with a lot of house ball carry down. basically the Hyroad is a ball I can use in league, and the Pearl is a ball I can only use on burned practice lanes.
Can I ask what bowling shoes you recommend? I'm looking to buy a new pair. I currently own a pair of Dexter's with sliding on both shoes but I'm wondering if I would benefit from one slide shoe and one non slide shoe. Can you give some insight on this?
Great video as usual Luis. I just recently bought the Hyroad and it came in the 4K fast finish. Do u recommend changing it? If so to what? Thanks again.
I've never thrown an IQ Tour or a HyRoad but I think I'm about ready to order both and see what I've been missing. Also I know you probably can't say much about Motiv equipment these days both how would the HyRoad Pearl compare to the Original Supra?
!Q Tour is goooooood!$ I can talk about whatever I want LOL I think the Supra is stronger cause of the higher DIFF but the cover on the Supra HATES oil. I think the cover on the hyroad pearl is stronger
@@LuisNapoles Yeah that makes sense.Thank you for the quick response and keep up the great work on these videos and congrats on the birth of your child! I wish you and your family nothing but the best!
I have a 2018 hyroad but cannot seem to get the right surface. What do you suggest? I've seen you saying 1500 and 3000 are good. I also own a phaze 3 at 3000.
Are these usable on super dry conditions & would you recommend for old wood lanes ? Or other good choices for the dry ?? Looking for a tourney ball on this type of lanes. 15mph slight rev dominant player Thanks for all the content Luis !!
Love the videos Luis! I throw left handed usually straight up second arrow. I currently have a Zen and Hyroad X with the X being my go to ball for league. Just wondering if the og hyroad or the pearl would be better for me. After watching the video I’m guessing og hyroad as I don’t like to move in if I don’t have to
Hi Luis, I was thinking of getting two balls, either a Phaze V, Hyroad pearl, Storm Fate, or Roto grip conspiracy theory. Which two do you think would give me the best range? Already have a Purple Hammer urethane.
Just started bowling a couple weeks ago and bought my first ball. I got the Electrify BSY... later down the road do you think one of these would be a good step up from the electrify? I am also 2 handed.
looking to either of these to be in-between the uc3 and supra. i have no trouble going from heavy oil to medium oil balls but i always seem to run into trouble when i get out of the iq tour. the uc3 can be too early and too angular from straighter but it just wants to leave 7 pins all day if i move in. if i go into the supra, it refuses to make any movement unless i really slow down and when i do that, it's a 90% chance of a split. i've tried surface adjustments on it but it takes a lot of games before i see much movement from the supra.
Hi Luis, I need to ask you something. I am getting a strong ball for my arsenal and am considering proton physix, a reality, a nova, or finally a gem. Which out of those would you recommend to me the most. Or do you have something else in mind from storm/roto/900global?
So personally my two favorites right now are the Gem and the reality. The question to ask yourself here with these two balls is do you want a smoother ball or one that shapes a little more. Smoother would be the Gem and more shape would be the Reality
I’m a straight ball thrower with a 150 avg looking to purchase a ball in which I can learn to hook and improve my game. Would these balls be too much for me? If so, do you have a recommendation. Thank you.
I recently upgraded from a Surge to Hy-road blue (is that the pearl?). I'm still learning it. Right now, I'm still better with the Surge. It looks like you're releasing it at almost a 45 degree angle from the left?
Wish I could like these balls, but they just don't match up for me at all. Isn't as predictable as I'd like. Only one I ever liked was the HyRoad Pearl.
@@LuisNapoles Of course, and still ain't that great. A very condition based ball for me, can only throw it in specific situations. It usually only lasts me a game, then I get a random 7-10 and put it away 😂. Goes straight to the bag, cause it's the only ball I've ever thrown that leaves hella 7-10s. Phaze II is still the nut. I need a ball in between a HyRoad X and Phaze II. I don't have any pearls, so I just throw plastic instead. Not sure what next ball to get still. Tough choice between Hustle Wine and Hyped Pearl. I like the way the Wine looks, but I like the overall motion of the Hyped Pearl. 😔
Luis, your the G.O.A.T. of TH-cam bowling ball reviews. I've watched everyone of your videos and will be looking forward for more to come.
Thank you so much for saying that! I’m really trying!
I agree 100%. I have the Hy-Road Pearl by his recommendation and it has worked great. Following him on You Tube has increased my league average .
I would love to see a hyroad vs Zen video. I am thinking of adding both to my aresenal and was wondering if they might be too close and overlap one another.
I definitely am excited to get back out there and throw the Hyroad OG. I've only played about 1-2 games on it so I haven't even begun to see what it can do. I definitely think the OG has the best of both worlds. Watching you has reignited my love for bowling again, thank you for the great content! Keep it up!
I’m so glad to hear that!!!! Keep it up!!!
I'm a newer bowler and just got my first Hyroad on Friday. In love with the ball, average is up significantly using it
Nice James! Keep that up!

Great review! I just purchased my own Hy Road Pearl 15lbs. My game improved significantly. Learning to trust the hook makes the difference.
I have had my hyroad pearl for 10 years and it's a ball that I always keep in my bag
The recent output on quality videos lately is amazing.
I really appreciate you saying that Cj!
Love your videos Luis. This was a great comparison and explanation of the two balls. I like how you throw a couple shots of each and explain and show the differences. Your video of the phaze 2 and 4 was really good as well.
I appreciate that!
I have a hyroad and I have cashed with it in so many times I could have bought 10 more with all the money it's made me! One of the best balls of all time.
NICE! That’s a good feeling!!
Just got my first Hy Road 2 weeks ago, absolutely loving. It rn
NICE!!!!
Another great video! On the last shot of the video you were almost on that service sidewalk!!!
Gotta go where the strikes are at
I just picked up a brand new Hy Road yesterday. So far, I love it!
so cool to see you loft one!!! maybe that could be a video you make if you need any topics for content....im a 200+ avg but i've never learned to loft it...and your channels is one of the best for no fluff education...thanks Luis!
My back hurts thinking of making a video lofting the ball 😂😂
@@LuisNapoles lol ok nevermind 🤣🤣
I was fortunate enough to get gifted an original 2009 Hyroad recently. I loved the ball since it came out and its always in one of my bags....even though it may not get thrown as much it still makes the trip 🤣
Lucky you!!!

Thanks! thats awesome!
Thanks for the discount code, Used it last week for 2 more jerseys!!
Awesome! I'm glad it helped!
@@LuisNapoles Thank you for all you do with your ball reviews and other related videos by the way. Helped out a lot when did the exchange program
Hy road pearl is my go to ball the best ball I have ever had or used
All time great!
Intro 👌😂...OG Hyroad is a personal fav bc of its overall versatility. It just matches up well for my game. Pearl is a great "go to" burn ball. Nice video, good stuff as always.
I had to check them! 😂😂😂
Like I said before in a previous video comment. I LOVE MY HYROAD PEARL ON THE FRESH AND THE BURN. IM GLAD I BOUGHT THIS BALL 💕
It’s an all time great!
I just bought my very first hy road non pearl for my fiest reactive. Im very excited 😊 seems like i made a good choice.
I just got the Hy-road. Love it. My teammate throws the Hy-road Max
Nice!!! I heard good things from that hyroad max!
Love this ball helps when i run into dry conditions or need to play down and in

I can't wait to get him on the lanes with me! IF w thats what he wants of course!

@@LuisNapoles it was probably more along the lines of I had grown used to the HRP with 1000+ games on it, so when I got the fresh one it wasn’t what I was hoping for.
I am looking at getting the hyroad pearl and have drilled identical to my hyroad x that sometimes I need more length
In theory that will work cause the pearl has a weaker cleaner quicker cover than the X
Have you bowled with the all road yet .. Its one of my favorite ball other then the phaze II
That’s one I never had!
I prefer the Hammer Redemption Pearl, but it's all good. Good video.
That’s a COMPLETELY different ball though

nice work Luis

Hyroad Pearl is disgusting for me on the burn. Love the videos. Keep them coming
Same!! Definitely will !! The grind won’t stop!
Have the OG hybrid Hyroad, pitched in league Friday for a 654. I wonder if this ball could be considered the "House Shot Killer".
With a little surface YES’
Hi Luis, I just got my FIRST Hyroad (not the pearl) - I used it a couple of shots during league, my first full game was a 242, love it, should I also get the Hyroad Pearl?
Depends on what shape you're looking for because the pearl and the OG are gonna be very similar
I have HyRoad pearl is my favorite bowling ball
Nice!
My Iq fusion cracked, looking for a replacement. I am a lower speed (14mph) lower rev bowler. Something to go with my alpha crux and proton physics!
Really look into the 900 Global Zen! bit.ly/3AUUogz
Was thinking about getting a pearl and though I still like it, it seems the OG Hyroad is way more versatile and controllable. Need to think harder about this decision lol.....or.....get both 😅
Both seems easy haha
Thanks Lou! What would you recommend as good step or two down from the Hy-Road (Original) for burn lanes? Hustle Wine? I'm a lower speed player.
Hustle wine yea or hyped pearl
If someone could help me out with this that would be great! So I am a a low speed, low rev bowler and I’ve been looking into the Phaze III, idol Helios and the iq tour. Do you think any of these balls might work for me? Let me know if you have any other suggestions. Also if your curious I currently have a raw hammer solid. Thank you!
I would vote !Q Tour and/or Phaze 2
@@LuisNapoles Ok, thank you! Someone else that I know also suggested the iq tour and he said that the phaze III might be too much off the spot
I'm in the same boat and have been told that higher RGs are more beneficial to my roll, for what it's worth. Since I throw 14lb the iQs for me are 2.54 instead of 2.49 RG so they've always matched up really well for me.
Hi Luis how do these compare to the HR Nano? Excellent videos!
I wish I had one!
Great video. Would you be able to do a comparison with the Trend and HyRoad Pearl?
I don’t have a trend unfortunately:(
@@LuisNapoles how about against the hustle wine?
Nice video freind getting ready to get a hyroad hybrid need something between Phase 2 and Hustle USA 🇺🇸. Sometimes Zen Dark Code,Phase 5 just a little to much. Thanks 👍 😊
Awesome! Glad it was helpful;!
Thank you for the review
No problem 👍
I've had 3 original Hyroads, and liked them all. Consistent ball, not flashy, clean and predictable. I've had 2 Hyroad Pearls, and didn't like either of them. They are useless for me on the fresh house shot (ie league). I only ever had a good look with them, on open bowl lanes with a lot of house ball carry down. basically the Hyroad is a ball I can use in league, and the Pearl is a ball I can only use on burned practice lanes.
I hate the pearl on the fresh. But game 3-4 in league it’s 💰💰💰
I think they have changed over the years. I have 2 of each one old one new both are good at the right time
I’ve heard a lot of that!
Can I ask what bowling shoes you recommend? I'm looking to buy a new pair. I currently own a pair of Dexter's with sliding on both shoes but I'm wondering if I would benefit from one slide shoe and one non slide shoe. Can you give some insight on this?
I'm partial to the Dexter sst 8 line
Great video as usual Luis. I just recently bought the Hyroad and it came in the 4K fast finish. Do u recommend changing it? If so to what? Thanks again.
FOR ME I prefer the 4K fast finish
I've never thrown an IQ Tour or a HyRoad but I think I'm about ready to order both and see what I've been missing.
Also I know you probably can't say much about Motiv equipment these days both how would the HyRoad Pearl compare to the Original Supra?
!Q Tour is goooooood!$ I can talk about whatever I want LOL I think the Supra is stronger cause of the higher DIFF but the cover on the Supra HATES oil. I think the cover on the hyroad pearl is stronger
@@LuisNapoles Yeah that makes sense.Thank you for the quick response and keep up the great work on these videos and congrats on the birth of your child! I wish you and your family nothing but the best!
I have a 2018 hyroad but cannot seem to get the right surface. What do you suggest? I've seen you saying 1500 and 3000 are good. I also own a phaze 3 at 3000.
Are these usable on super dry conditions & would you recommend for old wood lanes ? Or other good choices for the dry ?? Looking for a tourney ball on this type of lanes.
15mph slight rev dominant player
Thanks for all the content Luis !!
Definitely the pearl!
Did you end up getting it ? Does it hold up on dry ?
Love the videos Luis! I throw left handed usually straight up second arrow. I currently have a Zen and Hyroad X with the X being my go to ball for league. Just wondering if the og hyroad or the pearl would be better for me. After watching the video I’m guessing og hyroad as I don’t like to move in if I don’t have to
I just fear that both would be too similar
@@LuisNapoles yeah true. Just looking for a possible step down from the X when I need to get out of it
Which one of these balls would you recommend for a lefty?
Same as for a righty, just depends on what motion you’re looking for
Hi Luis, I was thinking of getting two balls, either a Phaze V, Hyroad pearl, Storm Fate, or Roto grip conspiracy theory. Which two do you think would give me the best range? Already have a Purple Hammer urethane.
Some of those balls are discontinued already! Look into the Storm Phaze 2
Just started bowling a couple weeks ago and bought my first ball. I got the Electrify BSY... later down the road do you think one of these would be a good step up from the electrify? I am also 2 handed.
Def think so yea!
Thank you make this video you the best for making videos and for helping out
Thank you!
What is sizing like for those jerseys? I'm thinking of getting one
For me its pretty true to size. I wear a 2xl in everything and in these jerseys I also wear a 2xl
looking to either of these to be in-between the uc3 and supra. i have no trouble going from heavy oil to medium oil balls but i always seem to run into trouble when i get out of the iq tour. the uc3 can be too early and too angular from straighter but it just wants to leave 7 pins all day if i move in. if i go into the supra, it refuses to make any movement unless i really slow down and when i do that, it's a 90% chance of a split. i've tried surface adjustments on it but it takes a lot of games before i see much movement from the supra.
I think either one will fit your need just fine!
Hi Luis, I need to ask you something. I am getting a strong ball for my arsenal and am considering proton physix, a reality, a nova, or finally a gem. Which out of those would you recommend to me the most. Or do you have something else in mind from storm/roto/900global?
So personally my two favorites right now are the Gem and the reality. The question to ask yourself here with these two balls is do you want a smoother ball or one that shapes a little more. Smoother would be the Gem and more shape would be the Reality
@@LuisNapoles thank you for the response, I know you're not a c300 affiliate but I am either getting the nova or speed. which one would you recommend?
Luis - What weight were the two balls you were using?
Always 15lbs!
@@LuisNapoles Thanks for responding! Love your videos.
I got hyroad max and hyroad and hyroad nano and hyroad pearl
Nice nick!
How do you recommend the drilling set up on this Hyroad? I see your pin is just over your ring finger.
I like 4.5 inch pins on hyroads
I’m a straight ball thrower with a 150 avg looking to purchase a ball in which I can learn to hook and improve my game. Would these balls be too much for me? If so, do you have a recommendation. Thank you.
try the hustle to start
Luis could I or should I put a little surface on the pearl
yes!
What are your thoughts on a 16lb Hyroad Pearl? Considering that I already Bowl only 16lbs. Havnt seen much compairison online.
If you already throw 16 lbs then def stuck with it!
I’m bout to get one for $65
Excited
Dam!!!!!
What about the Hy-Road X how would you compare it between those three?
never had it
Hyroad or pearl as a ball down from the nova?
I feel like it would be 2 steps down from the nova
what's the length of the oil pattern here? because my house shot with my hyroad over hooks left due to a very short house pattern.
I THINK it’s 42 feet but I may be wrong
I recently upgraded from a Surge to Hy-road blue (is that the pearl?). I'm still learning it. Right now, I'm still better with the Surge. It looks like you're releasing it at almost a 45 degree angle from the left?
Blue is the hybrid purple is the pearl
Thank-you for clarifying that. It hooks way more than my Surge, so it's taking some learning.
I'm thinking about buying one HyRoad and what do you think about this I have HyRoad pearl
Could be great!
This video is my 3 favorite video from you
Awesome!
It's weird how the HyRoad is my all time favorite ball, my benchmark ball... BUT I never tried the HyRoad pearl
🤯🤯🤯
Wish I could like these balls, but they just don't match up for me at all. Isn't as predictable as I'd like. Only one I ever liked was the HyRoad Pearl.
Have you tried it with some surface??
@@LuisNapoles Of course, and still ain't that great. A very condition based ball for me, can only throw it in specific situations. It usually only lasts me a game, then I get a random 7-10 and put it away 😂. Goes straight to the bag, cause it's the only ball I've ever thrown that leaves hella 7-10s.
Phaze II is still the nut. I need a ball in between a HyRoad X and Phaze II. I don't have any pearls, so I just throw plastic instead. Not sure what next ball to get still. Tough choice between Hustle Wine and Hyped Pearl. I like the way the Wine looks, but I like the overall motion of the Hyped Pearl. 😔
