Hy-Road offers another great ball reaction option to Storm's ball line.

Pin to PAP(5 1/8" over 1/8" up) - 4 1/2"
Mass Bias Position - n/a
CG Placement - just right of center line
Balance Hole - none

Surface Preparation - Out of Box (1500 grit Polish)

What I Was Looking For In This Ball Layout:
The only real thought I had while I was laying this ball out was to have something to compliment my Virtual Gravity. I have been using my Virtual so much lately that I really did not need something else for league but I thought it would be nice to have something under my Virtual just in case.

I used a pretty simple stacked drilling, I put the pin 4 1/2" from my PAP with the cg right below it. This drilling tends to be a really controlled but strong reaction layout. That sounded good since the only things I knew besides all the technical stuff was that Norm Duke made it look really good a few weeks earlier on TV.


What I Ended Up With in the Ball and Layout:
Another great ball from the guys at Storm. I think they have had the most good balls in row if you combine Roto-Grip and Storm. This ball was perfect! It rolled super strong in the front part of the lane without giving up any energy for the rest of the lane. I threw this ball with a few of our other testers that drilled one and they all reacted different but they were all good. I have to say that I like my look a little better then the other guys but I will be drilling on up with one of their layouts.

Overall this was just a good ball reaction. If you remember back in the day when anything with a "Z" on the ball from Brunswick rolled good, this had that type of reaction. Just a good, clean, strong (maybe I should think of more adjectives for this ball) ball motion from start to finish.

If you do not have a Storm ball of some kind in your bag right now, you need to get one. You will happy you did.
