Hustle HYB

Hustle HYB Outside of a spare ball, this is the best ball for your money on the market. Period! The Hustle HYB combines the Hustle core with the new VTC-H18 hybrid cover. Even though this ball is in the HP1 line, it easily provides HP2/3 performance. It hooks more than anything in the HP1 line and more than some in the HP2 line. Even though the HYB is a hybrid cover, it is earlier and smoother than the INK or any other Hustle. So if you are looking for a dry lane ball, this isn't it... But if you want a great benchmark ball at an entry-level price, the HYB is a must have.

The Hustle Hybrid is a very logical addition to the already very impressive Hustle lineup. The OG Hustles were pretty darn good and then the Ink hit the scene and forget about it...Everyone is looking to spend less money and get a great product, right? I know that is what my customers want and RotoGrip has delivered time and again in that segment. The HP1, 2 and 3 line up is ridiculous at their perspective price points...I know I'm getting off the topic here and I realize some would say, "here is another staff guy worshipping the brand he's part of" but, if you know me at all, I always give credit where it's due and Roto just gets it done in this category. The Hybrid version of the Hustle is exactly what you think it might be...stable, smooth and strong. I put it a few boards weaker than the ShowOff and a touch cleaner as well. I roll it pretty straight in comparison to all the younger big wheelers out there and when my Ink is not enough at the beginning of the night, the Hybrid sees the lane a lot better. Overall, what I see from the Hustles I've drilled for my customers, be it the Inks and the Hybrids, is a very affordable and surprisingly trustworthy bowling ball. I've got a few people drilling up two and even three of these rocks. At the end of the day, with all the releases at a very competitive price point in our sport, take a look at RotoGrips HP1 Hustle line. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for reading and I'll see you on the lanes. #ownit

I took some time to drill the Hustle HYB. I wasn't sure what I wanted out of it. My pin under Hustle INK is amazing for any price point, let alone a HP1. BUT, it's still the stereotypical long, angular HP1 look and it can be allergic to oil. With the HYB, I wanted something different. I watched others throw it and I saw a lot more midlane read with an archy type backend reaction. It was definitely a more stout ball reaction than the INK. So, I wasn't affraid to put the pin up with a 60 x 4 x 45 layout. To date, I have not had a lot of success on house yet with the HYB (carry isn't quite there as we do have quite a bit of volume at my home house) but on a flat, 43 foot sport pattern on wood, it provided a great reaction until the fronts burned up too much. It had the read in the midlane you would expect from a dull hybrid surface, but its backend motion reminded me of my shorter pin balls without lacking the hitting power short pin balls have at times as I move further left. If you have always liked lower end balls in the HP1 type line, I think this will be a good choice - just expect a little more ball for your dollar with the HYB.

The Roto Grip Hustle HYB is the new release in the HP 1 line. I drilled mine 5 x 4 1/2 x 4 pin down no hole. It comes with a 3000 grit finish. I absolutely loved the Hustle Ink. The INK sometimes would be too much response off the spot and create angle problems to carry. The Hustle HYB with the Hybird cover has a slower response off of the friction. Its kinda like a smooth arc motion. I've used mine on a couple hooking house shots and really liked how it was able to control the pocket. The HYB just didn't over react when hitting the dry. Thus for me the HYB will be a great late block ball and shorter sport pattern ball. Brian Watson Storm Pro Shop Staff PAP - 3 5/8 up 1 1/4 Speed - 15-16 Tilt - 17 RPM-400

Roto Grip Hustle HYB Ball Review by PJ Haggerty The new Hustle HYB is a perfect addition to the HP1 line and can be used for many types of players. I've used my Hustle HYB the most on patterns where the pattern is flat or there is a lot of friction. I think what makes the HYB different is the cover is still clean, but strong at the same time. My best example is bowling on the PBA Don Carter 39' pattern a few months ago. This pattern plays extremely flat and the Hustle HYB makes a lot of sense to use both on the fresh, or on the burn. It's clean enough to not be too responsive in the front, but is smooth enough down lane to allow the friction at the end of the pattern take the ball into the pocket. The one I've drilled so far is mapped out as 6 x 4 with a 59/64 hole below my axis. I also hit the surface with a 2000 pad to smooth out my reaction. If I were to drill another one, I'd drill it stronger. I don't think it flared enough and the flare rings were super tight which probably sped up my response time. If I drill it stronger, I bet the flare rings open up and my response time slows down a bit more. After watching Matt O'Grady win the TOC and Joe Novara strike a ton with the Hustle Solid, we know the Hustle HYB is just as good. Go drill one! #SquadRG

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 375 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 5/8 straight across Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS Layout: 45, 4 ¾ , 70 I didn't think there was a way to improve on the Hustle Ink, but the Hustle HYB does it. I love the motion from the Ink but it's a little too weak at times. The HYB takes care of that problem. It's a good 4-5 boards stronger, but still gives me that controlled, versatile Hustle shape. The Hustle HYB is the perfect step up from the INK!

Layout: pin under bridge cg 3 inches directly under it. Condition: 41 ft ths on hpl I drilled this ball wanting the typical hustle reaction for drier lane conditions. After reading some reviews I was terrified this ball would be much stronger then I wanted so I polished it. I absolutely hated it with polish, it could have easily become my spare ball, but I took it back to oob condition and I really liked the shape of the ball I got then. For me it definitely wasn't as strong as my tour solid but that's not what I wanted in this ball. I was able to play up the lanes on the fresh condition with considerable backend, this is definitely not my "a" game, as I would prefer to open up the lanes more and play across the boards. I did like the reaction of the ball and look forwarded to getting it on more of a lane condition that I could use it more. This ball is currently available.

I drilled my HUSTLE HYB 65/4.5/40 which is my standard drilling for a ball to gauge where it fits or where to increase the numbers at. I put a 7/8"/2" deep weight hole on my axis which is 5 1/4 x 5/8 up. I left this one box finish. I have thrown this on mostly THS at 2 different centers. The HUSTLE HYB is a slower response piece in my hands especially compared to my HUSTLE INK and ALL OUT SHOW OFF. The ALL OUT SHOW OFF is about 6-8 boards stronger and the HUSTLE INK is about 3-5 boards stronger. The motion is smooth and slower response and will let me stay right of higher traffic areas on the pair. Put this one in your bag if you are looking for a piece that is smoother off the spot than the HUSTLE INK or MATCH UP'S and also a possible first ball option on short patterns.

This ball is something you want to have in your bag when you are looking for CONTROL. The Hustle HYB is perfect if you are looking for a ball that doesn't over or under react. I would recommend for either a fresh or scorched condition. This ball isn't gonna make that sharp kick off of the spot like some of the other balls that store their energy, but it will be the perfect "club in your bag" when you find everyone else not being able to keep the pocket and you are. By no means is this ball a dud though. It will come back from parts of the lane that urethane and plastic will not. Great tool to have in your bag for when you need it!

ROTO GRIP HUSTLE HYB Once again so much bang for your buck! Shelf appeal excellent, ball reaction excellent and hit through the pins incredible! With the Hustle Hybrid, I first took a look with my Hustle solid and got line up with it, after a few shots of playing 8 to 5 or miss room out to one the Hustle solid was clean as always. Went to the Hustle Hybrid and played the same shot, the Hustle Hybrid was earlier and picked up the mid lane a little quicker. Both balls were box finish. So I made a 3 and 1 move left and just that small of a move made all of the difference in the world. This made the Hustle HYB get the extra length I needed and picked up in the mid lane with a nice controlled backend motion. This allowed me to stay lined up for several games with just slight moves left. The performance of the HP1 line will surprise anyone that hasn't thrown any of the balls in the line. The Hustle HP1 line will be for most all house shots.

The New Roto Grip Hustle HYB is another must have for all types of styles and releases. The Hybrid cover on the HYB is the perfect compliment to the Hustle Ink which is a shiny solid. If you are still looking for a nice predictable motion like the ink but a lil more POP down lane, the HYB Hustle is for you. I drilled mine with the same layout I had on my INK which was a 60x4x30.

The Hustle HYB uses the same core as all the other Hustles before it, but has a brand new hybrid cover. The HYB hooks several boards more than any other Hustle, and outhooks the price point by a significant amount. If you're looking for bang for the buck, the HYB is a great place to look, it's really a budget IQ Tour Solid, but if you're looking for a true light oil ball, you should probably look elsewhere. This ball is strong enough to be an HP2 ball, and approaches Storm's Thunder line in terms of overall strength. The HYB is a very smooth and controllable ball, there are no surprises with it once you accept how much it hooks despite the price and being labeled an HP1 ball. The HYB is a great compliment to the Hustle Ink, while the Ink is long and strong, the HYB is earlier, smoother, and stronger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNXkUjS3Ih4&t=2s

Roto Grip Hustle HYB – VTC-18 hybrid cover with the Hustle core 50 x 4 ½ x 45 45ft THS on HPL with KEGEL iON machine with KEGEL Ice oil and Defense C conditioner. Surface: 3000 grit can be polished For being a BIG fan the HP1 line, especially the HUSTLE line, this ball did not disappoint. It moves a little earlier then the DD Trick for me, but had as much, if not more recovery then the DD Trick. Going through the pin deck, it carried very well, and did not quit driving. I am 3 boards left and hitting the same mark down the lane as my HUSTLE INK and has earlier movement but with the same amount of hitting power. Even after the carry down starts to take effect, I just simply move a little left with my eyes and allow the ball to catch a little lighter oil and I start carrying again. I really don't need to make BIG moves with this ball. Once I find the line, its game on for me. I believe the HUSTLE line is the best performance entry line on the market. Where else can such a diverse in coverstocks in a line of balls under 130??? Nowhere else the ROTO GRIP... OwnIt!!!

This ball is right up my "alley". Controllable solids and balls with surface are balls typically found in my bag at all times. I love how I was able to play right and a little right of the track area and consistently get to the pocket. Also, the hitting power of this ball was exceptional, especially for a ball in this price range (HP1). I tested this ball after throwing the Hyper Cell Fused on a fresh THS (Typical House Shot). I was roughly 3 boards further right with my feet with the Hustle than the Fused. The reaction of the Hustle was smooth and controllable. It read the mid-lane well and didn't overreact if I happened to miss with my target. I definitely see this ball being a step down ball when my higher end equipment starts becoming too much for the lane. This will be a great step down from either the No Rules Exists and/or Dare Devil Trick. Video: https://youtu.be/pyHIUDTlQWo
