My 16 yr old son has been using Hyroad for a few years now. We pre-ordered the Hyroad Max. We received it Feb. 23rd. His first game with the ball on Feb. 27th he bowled his first 300.

Bought this 30 min before a tournament and did throw any practice games with it and still did great with it. it picks up earlier then I expected but all all around great ball. I will say that when you hit lighter pocket shots it goes down a lot better then high flush shots.

I drilled this ball with a specific purpose of being able to play straighter with increasing my ball speed. I drilled the ball with a strong 3.5 in pin. The strong NEX coverstcok had plenty of teeth to get the ball in a roll and inverted Fe2 core didn't make the ball over react in the friction. I was please to see the ball get to the pocket and roll through the pins properly. This ball let's me move right and play up the oil line. Ball Speed 19mph Rev rate 370.

The Hy-Road Max features the legendary Inverted Fe2 weight block with the NeX solid cover. If the cover sounds familiar, it skins the Proton PhysiX and Axiom, two balls that handle oil and blends the pattern.

What will you see when you use the Hy-Road Max? You can expect to see the lime green bomber handle an above-average oil load. Knowing the behavior of the NeX cover, I hit mine with Storm Step 3 polish before I penciled a line on it. This ball has a strong midline move that aligns with the shape we have all grown to expect from a Hy-Road. I have an appreciation for the shape, it allows me to creep left, and SEND IT without the fear of overreacting to the dry.

I positioned the Hy-Road Max in my bag to catch the lane after it transitions from a stronger piece, and there is still too much juice on the lane for the lower end pieces to shape.
