WARNING: This ball is the truth!
I have been awaiting for the second coming of a ball similar to the Hot Rod Hybrid and it has arrived! What makes this ball special is how smooth it glides through the fronts, yet it does not skate through the midlane in search of the backend. This ball is a great blend of the solid and pearl version as it does not need a ton of oil to scoot and it does not make the hockey stick motion down the lane.
The first week I had the ball, it did not have the hole since my driller and I were rushing to make league. I liked the reaction but it was erratic, turns out it had 7/8 finger and 15/16 side. WHOA! By adding the weight hole, the ball became a lot more stable and now does not flare the whole ball in all direction. SHEW! Now what I have is a ball that reads the mids yet does not go sideways down the lane…PERFECT!!! Normally I am greeting my friend “Mr. Solid 9”, so far, the ball enters the pocket and keeps the pins down and going backwards! The carry has been tremendous with this ball the three outings I have used it. In 9 games, I have seen 9 or 10 strikes on the board multiple times.
So far, this nugget has seen a 44 foot house shot (house does not strip on our league night, mucho carry down) and a house running a 44ft well-maintained top hat that has plenty of friction out. This ball is proving it’s not afraid of a little oil or a little friction.
Take the "Hy-Road" and get your butt to the pro shop to get one!!!
