Great product By Rich from Watertown, Ct.
Reviewed on: 7/21/2009 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This ball did all I was looking for & more. I took my 195 avg. to 213 over the 14 weeks I had the ball. I am looking to start the new season in September. I can play the ball with a large hook or go down the middle with it. I had it drilled for a long carry & sharp hook at the end. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Oldie but a Goodie By Thomas from Jax,Fla
Reviewed on: 2/10/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:Beginner Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I've been bowling for about 7mths..

First week with it in league play roled a 660 series.. 179,256,225..nice, but even sweeter. I used it 2/7/10 in league play did'nt do so great due to operator error.. hahahah,but, practiced aftewards and roled my first 300... Man if I could have only did it doing league. I'm sure I will get several sanctioned 300s using my hyroad.. Sweet bowling ball, I've purchased another one for back up already.. Was this review helpful to you?

Follow the Road to WINNING! By THE HOFF from Bothell, Washington
Reviewed on: 8/18/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley, Upgrade Describe Yourself:Pro Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Layout- Pin under ring, cg shifted positive, medium width/depth hole down by the thumb. Lets face it, I am a staff member who never had drilled one, so I just had to. I was pleased with the way the ball rolled- it actually cornered more than I had anticipated considering the Hybrid cover and reputation this ball has for being smooth and controllable. All that really means to me is that I'm more apt to use this ball from the track in and not from the track out when playing the lanes. I love the way the ball looks and smells (I like the fruity scents better than the aromatherapy scents for sure), it just feels….. Familiar. That's a good thing for bowling, because it makes you more comfortable and relaxed. I was stoked to see that this ball is going to remain in the line this year- it is still prolly my best selling mid-range ball. Was this review helpful to you?

Awesome entry level choice By Grundy Investments from Morris Il
Reviewed on: 7/7/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Flawless Surface, Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Great Weight Best Uses:Tournaments, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend After being away from the game for 11 years because of an injury, I returned this past season. Not knowing how the game had changed I went to my local proshop professional and he suggested the Storm Hyroad. What a great choice. I had been a 200 avg.before my injury I was concerned what kind of avg I could carry through out the season. Well the game had changed but because of the Storm Hyroad I was able to carry a 194 avg. which I was very pleased with. Thanks Storm!!! Was this review helpful to you?

Love this Ball By Tony C. from Philadelphia, PA

I was a pretty straight bowler with my previous ball. My average with my previous ball was around the 140-150 range. Right out of the box I threw a 198 with the Hy-Road.. My first league game last night with the Hy-Road, I threw my first 600 series! I had yet to even throw a 500 series with my first ball!!! This ball is just amazing. Seems to find the pocket everytime! A lot of the credit goes to Glen at the Pro Shop for the awesome drilling job! Highly recommend this ball! Was this review helpful to you?

Great Ball - my 2nd ever By owlish from Tyler TX
Reviewed on: 4/22/2010 Verified Buyer Pros:Adaptable, Predictable, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I use this for league and of course practice. It's my second ball I have owned in my lifetime. I started with a 12 pound ball to start and wound up being too light later on (once I got my strength up). This Hy-Road is a 14 pound ball and it feels good to me. It's adaptable and predictable on the lane. Was this review helpful to you? Yes / No- You may also flag this review.

Great Ball! Great Service!! By Grand Forks ND Bowler from Grand Forks, ND
Reviewed on: 3/20/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Great Weight, Attractive Design Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Because of joint problems, I have moved down from 16 and 15 pound equipment to 14 pounders. I was worried about using such a light ball but I shouldn't have been. What a great product! I got some recommendations from better bowlers than myself and the pro-shop staff at Sunset Lanes in Moorhead MN and decided to go with the Hyroad. This ball is great on fresh oil and continues being useful as the pattern breaks down. I highly recommend this ball to anyone looking to improve their performance. Also, if you have joint problems, the lighter weight really helped my wrist, arm, shoulder, and even my kness. I'll be coming back for more Storm products! Was this review helpful to you?

MOST CONSISTENT BALL I ROLL By Jonny Dimz from Canyon Country, CA
Reviewed on: 4/29/2010 Unverified Pros:Attractive Design, Smoothest roll, Flawless Surface, Great Weight, Comfortable Grip Best Uses:Upgrade, Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Bowling in league = fun. Bowling in league since owning the Hy-Road = THE BEST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD BOWLING!!! I used to average 180's. I'm now averaging about a 200 average. I've bowled my first 600 series recently and was close to a 700 four times already. I've had the ball about 2 weeks since mid April. I stand with left foot at about the 20 board and aim at the 12 board. Rolls in very smooth and hits harder than Superman. Even when the oil starts to dry, the ball will read the lane and still come in strong. If you don't get great scores with the ball, it's only due to operator error. This ball has saved my team from losing almost everytime we needed the win. I wish i worked for Storm so that I would get paid for all this promoting I did. Was this review helpful to you?

Reviewed on: 12/16/2010 Verified Reviewer Pros:Good Carry, Great reaction, Different angels Cons:None Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Right out of the box, used on typical house shot where the lanes were a little tighter than normal. Moved my feet a few boards right and crushed the pocket, as the lanes broke down I moved left slightly and the ball still hit great.
