The Hy-Road 40 celebrates four decades of Storm innovation by continuing the legacy of one of the most trusted names in bowling. At its core lies the legendary Inverted Fe² Technology—Storm’s most successful weight block design—delivering unmatched energy retention and dynamic hitting power. Wrapped in the successful A1S Pearl coverstock—first debuted on the Equinox and known as one of the fastest oil-absorbing materials in our lineup—the Hy-Road 40 maintains a consistent reaction shot after shot, especially in heavier conditions where oil buildup can compromise performance. The Hy-Road 40 is a tribute to where we’ve been—and a bold step toward where you’re headed.

Always take the Hy-Road
Pattern: 43’ House Shot Layout: 30 x 3 3/4 x 30 Finish: Box (Power Edge) The Hy-Road 40 celebrates 40 years of innovation by creating another staple in the legacy of the Hy-Road series of balls. Using inverted Fe2 Tech, wrapped in A1S Pearl Cover finished with Power Edge, the Hy-Road 40 gives a fresh look of a trusted name in the world of bowling. Unlike most balls, the Hy-Road 40 lacks core material allowing for a thicker shell. A much higher energy transfer to the pins with less deflection. As I’m a speed dominant player, on fresh, I was able to stay right up the boards with it. I didn’t see any loss of energy, however, I wasn’t able to get enough response when moving way left on fresh. When the lanes started to break down, I was able to move left and inside of original target and got through the pins effortlessly. Reminds me a lot of the original Hy-Road Pearl. If you are looking for something to go longer downlane and hit hard, the Hy-Road 40 will not disappoint. Trevor Kopas Storm Staff Ambassador Pro Shop Operator #Bigboybowling

HR40
TESTING ENVIRONMENT Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc): Lakes Bowl House Shot BALL: Storm Hy-Road 40 Coverstock: A1S Pearl Core: : Inverted Fe2 Finish: Power Edge RG: 2.58 (14 Pounds) Differential: 0.037 (14 Pounds) MB/PSA: NA (14 Pounds) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 14-15 mph Rev Rate: 220 PAP: 5 1/2 right 1/4 up Ball Layout: 50×4½×50 Personally I haven’t had/needed a ball in this slot for sometime. I decided to get the HR40 as I have made some pitch changes and just decided to drill a new ball instead of plugging and redrilling something I already was using and this was a great chance to throw a Hy-Road ball. I tested it the same time as the ION Pro Solid and wasn’t 100% sold on it as I felt and see a ball like the Typhoon to be a better option at times. The very next day I had a coaching session and decided to throw the HR40 again. I was able to get left and started to really like what Isaw from this ball. Now on day one testing I had to move right and throw it into the dry to see reaction. Day two I started on 20 and was throwing it into the track and I kept moving 2-3 boards each shot and was looking much better over the ION Pro Solid. Between working the PBA LBC and Junior Gold I will keep these in my bag and give them more lane time to shine or replace with the Typhoon.
