Bowlers are always in search of balls that provide them with enough traction to control the front part of the lane without sacrificing strong hooking motion and entry angle on the back end. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Hy-Road balls have been immensely popular as they have dominated medium to lighter patterns the world over for more than twelve years now. But sometimes a bit more power is needed to get the job done, and when that is the case, you deserve nothing but the best. With that in mind, we’re bringing you a new Hy-Road that will be the gold standard when a stronger move to the pocket is needed. Enter the Hy-Road Gold Pearl.

STAKE YOUR CLAIM
In order to make this Hy-Road something new and special, we knew that we had to be very selective when deciding on a coverstock. After many long hours of testing, R2X Pearl emerged as the obvious choice. You may remember R2X Pearl from past favorites like the Marvel™ Pearl and Optimus™, but this will be its debut performance in a Hy-Road offering. Stronger than the R2S™ variations found in the Hy-Road and Hy-Road Pearl, R2X Pearl offers more stability in the oil without sacrificing the strong backend motion needed to create entry angle and maintain a high carry percentage.

The dynamic reaction of the Hy-Road Gold Pearl will also be helped along by the inclusion of tried and true Inverted Fe2 Core Technology. The pin-punishing power of Inverted Fe2 is legendary in the bowling world. That is because it allows for more coverstock material to be utilized, leading to a heightened coefficient of restitution, enhanced dynamics, and amplified energy transfer where you need it most...at the pins. Inverted Fe2 Technology has powered all the Hy-Roads that you’ve loved up to this point, and we know that it won’t disappoint you in the Hy-Road Gold Pearl. Being the best means standing up to the tests of time. The Hy-Road name has done so brilliantly since 2008. Now, the Hy-Road Gold Pearl is ready to add to that legacy by offering you a seriously strong ball reaction that will help you outshine the competition for years to come.

Pearl Reactive

Slightly more aggressive than the famed R2S coverstock material, the R2X is right in the middle of Storm’s reactivity chart. It is the perfect balance of porosity and durably. It doesn’t grab too early, but doesn’t go too long either. Its versatility can benefit numerous bowlers of various styles.

Inverted Fe2 Core
Storm Inverted Fe2 Core

Inverted Fe2 technology boasts a higher RG and differential like most other balls in the Thunder Line, but with one very important benefit: it lacks the core material that most other balls have. This enables the ball to have a much thicker shell which raises the coefficient of restitution. A higher energy transfer to the pins with less deflection upon impact is what can be expected with this design.
