Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid Bowling Ball

Hyped Hybrid Cover: VTC Hybrid 1500 Polished Core: New Hyped Core RG: 2.52 Dif. 0.036 I I been looking for a ball I can ball down to on the burn or when the conditions are dryer. There have been several releases recently in this category by different brands. I was very intrigued by the new Hyped Line. I drilled the ball with my normal layout 4x4x2 (45x4x30 with dual angles). I left the ball out of box at 1500 polished. I have been really impressed with his ball. Initially the verdict was out on this one but after the cover broke in some this was a big surprise. The Hyped Hybrid is cleaner and smoother than some of the other new releases in the category. It has a strong backend motion with strong continuation through the pins. I have been looking for something that wasn't going to jump off the spot and strong enough to carry out the corners. The Hyped Hybrid does both. I look forward to conditions that will allow to see this ball in action. The Hyped Hybrid is a good choice for all styles and great for those just starting in the sport.

Absolutely love the Hyped Pearl. It's clean, angular and on the weaker side of the spectrum. When the lanes are deep into transition and you need a ball that will clear the fronts and reserve energy down lane the Hyped Pearl is a great option. Also, the Hyped line will work well on those higher friction surfaces. The hybrid version is smoother and more forward compared agains the pearl.

Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid Layout: 5 x 4 x 3 Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 40 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane The Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid utilizes the Hyped Core and VTC hybrid coverstock. The Hyped Hybrid rocks a beautiful pink swirl coverstock. I was bowling a recent tournament and noticed another bowler throwing it a coupe pairs over because the color popped. The H2 definitely has shelf appeal. The Hyped Hybrid has a sooner hook spot than the Hyped Pearl but still finishes well. I feel you could get by with one or the other if you are on a budget. Both are good options for the HP2 line. Both are a touch stronger than I expected. Once again, Roto Grip is providing a bang for your buck. The Hyped line should provide a great step up from the Hustle line. The Hyped Hybrid is going to be most effective on medium conditions. I am looking forward to using the Hyped Pearl in tournaments after the breakdown in lane conditions happens. Visit your local Storm VIP Pro Shop! #Stormnation #SquadRG

The Hyped Hybrid has an earlier roll than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. This will allow you to throw it in multiple parts of the lane, as I showed in my YouTube ball review. You can play to the right with it because of this balls controllable motion, but I struck more with it as I moved left into the oil. I compared the Hyped Hybrid with the Trend 2, and the Trend 2 was cleaner and a bit more angular. The Hyped Hybrid has the same numbers as the Hyped Pearl, just wrapped in a stronger cover. If you are using it for heavier oil conditions, a slight surface adjustment might help you. Once you move too far left with this ball and need better angle, the Hyped Pearl will be the perfect step down.

The Hyped Hybrid has to be the best bang for your buck ball on the market right now. With it being somewhat perceived as a low end ball, it definitely doesn't perform like one. This will be the best on low to medium volume patterns, and gives you a ball that goes straight and takes a turn. It continues, hits hard, but doesn't over-react. This has been my house shot killer lately! If you need a medium end ball, this is what you should order.

Hyped hybrid is the perfect ball on fresh for me. The hybrid cover creates enough friction in the front to even out the super sharp backends we encounter on a lot of house shots. Stays in play for a long time or all night unless the transition is to the extremes. Great price point for a ball that will be popular will almost all styles and skill levels.

Layout 55 x 4-3/8 x 45 at box surface The Hyped Hybrid is the newest ball in the Roto Grip HP2 line which replaced the MVP series. The new Hyped core gives a lot of performance at this price point. The ball reads the midlane fairly strong while being clean, long and pretty controllable due to the VTC Hybrid coverstock . While testing on a 44' house pattern, this Hyped Hybrid was great on the fresh as it kept me closer to the friction while still being able to read the heavier oil condition if I missed my target left. It gave me a continuous shape downlane which enhanced my pin carry. Comparative to the Hyped Pearl, the Hybrid was slightly stronger in the midlane will being smoother overall in backend motion. The Hybrid model will be a lot better on fresh oil conditions than the Pearl just due to the fact that it is smoother. Adding surface to the coverstock will enhance this motion further. Comparative to the Idol Synergy in the HP3 line, the Hyped was about 3-4 boards weaker in overall strength and slightly smoother in backend motion. Adam Chase Storm Staff

Roto Grip Hyped is well.....HYPED UP! Bowlers Info: RH tweener, PAP 4-1/2 x 7/8 up, 365 RPM, 17* of Axis tilt, 60* of Axis Rotation Ball Layout: 40 x 5.25 x 45 Finish: OOB For those of us you that remember the Nomad line and wished it would be reintroduced, well, this is pretty close to that! Welcome the Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid! I've been looking forward to this one and believe me it didn't disappoint! The VTC Coverstock is pretty aggressive even with 1500 polish on it, it can read the midlane pretty aggressively. I went with a taller, longer pin layout and kicked the CG right 45* as I wanted to use this to really open up my angles. Normally I hit 1500 OOB with some surface, but this ball did not need that whatsoever. This ball reads sooner than expected, not skid flippy mind you, but a definitely a strong motion off the backend that goes thru the pins with a certain aggression! This ball is cleaner and a bit longer than the Zen, but more backend reaction which is great when my Zen runs out of room as I move inside but still want a bigger piece before moving down to a UC2 or IQ Tour Emerald. There will be lots of Hype over the Hyped, so go pre-order one or hit up a Matchmaker and test one out if possible. For an HP2, you're gonna get tremendous value and a pin destroyer!
