    Posted by Stanley Waite on Jun 25th 2024

    Hustle B/R/Y - Ball Specs Cover Stock: VTC hybrid reactive Finish: Reacta Gloss Color: Burgundy/Red/White Core: Hustle Core RG: 2.53 Differential: 0.030 Review The Roto Grip has added two more Hustles to this iconic ball line, the Hustle X-Ray and B/R/Y. The Hustle B/R/Y is cleaner version of the new Hustles, which features the iconic Hustle Core wrapped in the VTC hybrid reactive cover. As a medium to low rev player, this ball is great on light and dry oil patterns. I was able to play in the track area and down and in up the five board. The Hustle B/R/Y is more aggressive on the backend of the lane than the X-Ray, because of the VTC hybrid reactive cover with Reacta Gloss. The Hustle B/R/Y is a must have for league and tournament bowlers. Now available for preorder at your local pro shop! My ball reviews are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

  • HUSTLE BRY

    Posted by Anthony S on Jun 21st 2024

    HAND: LEFT (ONE HANDED) PAP: 4 3/8 OVER / 1/16 UP BALL SPEED: 16MPH REV RATE: 420 AXIS TILT: 20 AXIS ROTATION: 50 LAYOUT: 60X5X35 The Hustle BRY a new color addition to the reliable and hard working Hustle line up. The Hustle Core is paired up with the VTC Hybrid Reactive Coverstock to give you quality performance on the lighter to medium oil conditions. The ball comes with Reacta-Gloss on it out of the box which gives it more length than the X Ray. I’m able to go to this ball later in game 2 and in game 3 of my league since its a little quicker off the friction so I’m able to move right more and get the ball to give me a little more angle down lane when the XRay becomes a little to slow off the spot. New bowlers will love this ball for its performance at the price point, and players who are veterans looking for a weaker ball for the burnt up house shot will love this ball.

  • Hustle B-R-Y Review

    Posted by Glenn W on Jun 5th 2024

    Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle B-R-Y Cover stock VTC Hybrid Reactive Weight Block Hustle™ Core (Symmetrical) Color Burgundy/Red/Yale Blue Finish Reacta Gloss Layout 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 Pin Buffer Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: I have always been a Hustle Fan and can recommend theses balls with confidence. The Hustle line provides a lot of bang for the buck. I use the Hustles in two of the dryer houses I sometimes bowl at and have shot very well with them. The Hustle line was designed to be predictable with great performance. The New Hustle B-R-Y gives me more length and back end than the X-Ray and plays well from different lines with very good hit and carry. The colors of the B-R-Y are very nice. The first time I used this ball for a set, I shot 714 while subbing on a lower volume house pattern. I was able to use the B-R-Y all three games with minor moves on the lane. The Hustles act like a much more expensive ball on the right pattern. I drilled the B-R-Y and X-Ray at the same time with the same layout and threw them at a few centers together and the B-R-Y provides more length and backend due to the cover. The total boards are close but the shapes are different with the X-Ray being smoother. I will put this ball above my Surge and below my Tour Dynamix in total hook. This ball should be a great choice for a newer bowler or a beast in the hands of a high rev or no thumb bowler. Summary: The Hustle B-R-Y is a beautiful looking ball. This ball provides excellent length and backend. This ball would be a great first reactive ball for most bowlers.

    Roto Grip Hustle B-R-Y PRODUCT DETAILS: Hustle Lightweight core wrapped in VTC hybrid reactive coverstock. Finished at 2000ab with Rough Edge compound, which helps create higher dry lane COF. Layout: 4 x 3 ½ x 3 My updated specs: Ball speed: average 15.5 mph. - Rev Rate: 425 – Axle tilt: 16 degrees – Axis rotation 70 degrees. Welcome the next generation in the Hustle Line, the all-new Hustle B-R-Y, burgundy, red, and yale blue are the colors on this new Hustle, along with VTC hybrid coverstock. The coloring is amazing on this ball, you know when it goes down the lane it’s a B-R-Y. For the coverstock prep, leaning from changing my M+M from the Reacta Shine finish to 2000ab then hitting the cover with Rough Edge compound. For a little earlier and smoother back-end reaction, which the backend reaction is weaker than the new Tropical Surge Midnight, which is one of the first Surges pored in Utah in years, but weaker than the Hyped Hybrid which has been my “go to ball” the past 2 ½ years until the X-Ray and the Lighting Blackout was released a few weeks ago. The B-R-Y is the best hybrid version of the Hustles in nearly 7 years by ha having the best overall length and pin carry versus several other hybrid version and several polished solid versions like the Camo version which was recently in the Hustle line. The ball fits in the bag a step of from my X-Ray with a 5 x 4 x 4 layout and a step down from the Storm Lighting Blackout. The Blackout has more overall length, but with less “snap” in the backend. The B-R-Y creates longer length, but sharper angles into the pocket. For additional information visit: www.stormbowling.com, and www.rotogrip.com.

  • Hustle BRY

    Posted by Todd Benner on May 24th 2024

    The latest edition to the Hustle line is the BRY which features the VTC Hybrid reactive coverstock with the tried-and-true Hustle core. At 15 pounds the RG is medium at 2.53 with a differential of .030. The BRY is finished with Reacta Gloss. The Hustle line continues to provide bowlers with excellent performance at the entry level price point. Don’t let the price tag fool you…this ball delivers a lot of bang for your buck! The BRY is a great ball for the beginner as well as the tournament bowler. The BRY with its hybrid coverstock, provides excellent length on medium to light oil conditions. The backend motion of the BRY will be more angular than the Hustle X-Ray. For me the I need to be about 2 -3 boards left with my feet when compared to the X-Ray. The BRY will allow you to play closer to the friction, but because of the quicker response, I need to have a slightly more open angle through the front part of the lane. Another quality option for a fraction of the cost of the high-performance balls.

  • Great Transition Ball

    Posted by Thomas Szczepaniak on May 22nd 2024

    The Hustle B-R-Y is a nice ball to transition to for me when the X-Ray starts getting a little lazy down lane. Again just like the X-Ray it doesn’t normally stay in my normal rotation but it has become a very reliable ball for some more of the challenging conditions.

    Cover: VTC Hybrid Reactive Core: Hustle RG: 2.53 RG. Diff.: 0.030 Finish: Reacta Gloss Roto Grip’s new Hustle B-R-Y is a Hybrid Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium-Light Volume Patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin above the bridge and the CG kicked out 1” from the palm. I threw this piece on a Fresh house 43’ pattern. Out of box ball motion was clean through the fronts with a controllable motion on the backend. I compared this piece to the Hustle USA (1-1 Right) & Hustle X-Ray (2-2 Right). This piece fits between Hustle X-Ray and M&M. This piece is good for all types of styles. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: https://youtu.be/GgXXu4cC_Y8

  • Hustle BRY Review

    Posted by Adam Chase on May 15th 2024

    Layout: 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 x 2 Surface: Reacta Gloss The Hustle BRY brings back the Hustle Core with the VTC Hybrid coverstock. This ball brings a lot of performance for its lower entry level price point. Compared to the Hustle RIP with the same reacta gloss surface and drilling, I saw a little cleaner through the front with a sharper backend motion with ample continuation. I was able to move about 2 boards left with my feet and 1 board with my eyes with the BRY to account for the stronger down lane motion. Removing the reacta gloss, would get the BRY to react closer to a Hustle X-Ray or RIP as it will provide earlier, and smoother motion as seen in the strong coverstock. The most ideal lane conditions for the Hustle BRY, would be medium to lighter oil conditions, typical house patterns on higher friction lane surfaces and potentially shorter oil patterns with lower oil volume. This ball could also benefit those with high rev rates or lower ball speed players who want to keep the ball more on line to their target. Adam Chase Storm Staff

    Roto Grip Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY Layout: 4.0 x 4.0 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume) Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane Roto Grip’s Hustle BRY utilizes the VTC Hybrid coverstock and the Hustle core, while the Hustle XRAY uses the VTC Solid coverstock and Hustle core. Can you say Value? Value is when the performance beats the expectations. This is what you get with the Hustle line. The Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY, the newest entries into the HP1 line, are the definition of value. Both have their place. The Hustle XRAY is earlier and smoother down lane where the Hustle BRY is cleaner in the fronts and more boom down lane. Pick the one that fits the gap in your bag or buy both. Lol. If you bowl in a high friction bowling center, the BRY is probably the best answer. The XRAY will be the better choice for bowlers wanting to keep their target in front of them and play straighter.

    Posted by Chase Valenzuela on May 6th 2024

    The Hustle B-R-Y is the newest polished hybrid offering in the HP1 line. This entry level piece is great for beginner bowlers and players looking for a weak option with a more angular shape. Combined with the VTC hybrid cover, the Hustle core still makes a big move on the back part of the lane. This new take on a classic provides a stellar ball reaction at a great price point! When you want value, you want a Hustle.

The Hustle B/R/Y combines the proven Hustle core with VTC Hybrid. The Hustles have always been great bang for your buck balls and this one definitely fits that mold. I tested the Hustle B/R/Y on our high volume/high ratio house pattern. I noticed right away that it was pretty responsive when trying to throw it closer to the friction. It was a little stronger than I expected which I attribute to the hybrid cover making it a little more continuous down-lane. The pearl versions of the Hustle had a tendency to get forward a little quick for me but while the B/R/Y is certainly quicker off the spont than it's solid counterparts, its definitely rounder than the Wine. I liked this ball best as the lane began to transition as it would clear our high friction front lane panels but still had plenty of pop to get off the back-ends that hadn't completely opened up yet. This ball is a great piece for a first time bowler who is looking to get more hook for their money.

    The biggest bang for your buck in performance is back with the new Hustles. The XRAY provides a smooth controllable shape with the BRY being cleaner and more angular. I tested both these balls after the Road and was impressed with the performance of both of them. Typically, I do not throw or bring extremely weak equipment as my rev rate is on the lower side although I intend on bringing the XRAY to league this week where the surfaces hook extremely early. Both Hustles read the body of the lane well and provided plenty of continuation through the pins as seen in the video.

    The Hustle line is one of the best values for your dollar. The Hustle BRY is no exception to that. If you’re looking for a ball for lower volume conditions or your new to the game this is the ball for you. The Hustle BRY is super clean and long, then reads the dry with enough energy to carry all day.

  • HUSTLE BRY

    Posted by Brian Hirsch on Apr 25th 2024

    Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the Roto Grip Hustle B-R-Y Hybrid In 14 pounds this ball is wrapped in the VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Hybrid Coverstock and comes with Reacta Gloss with an RG of 2.55, Diff of .030. Depending on the Hustle B-R-Y surface, bowlers can use this on low-to-medium oil conditions. There are not many balls that can cover a variety of conditions, especially at an entry-level price point. To give a comparison the Hustle X-ray will roll just a tad more through the front of the lane compared to the Hustle B-R-Y. This two-ball release will be a nice transition when the "benchmark" balls are too early. The Solid and Hybrid will naturally be longer and more robust. BOWLER STYLE: RH - Power Stroker Rev Rate: 320 Ball Speed: 15-16 PAP: 4 7/8 right 5/8 up. #Storm #VISE #BowlersChoiceProShop #BabesAndBallsBowling #IAmBowling (coupon code HIRSCH 20% off at checkout)

    Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle B-R-Y Cover: Reacta Gloss VTC™ Hybrid Reactive Weight Block: Hustle™ (Symmetrical) Color: Burgundy/Red/Yale Blue Review: There is NO reason to not love this line of bowling balls. They cater to literally every bowler in the world, regardless of skill level and is priced so reasonably that its worth its weight in gold. Our style: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 4x4x2 (pin is above bridge). For the seasoned veterans you can expect an extremely versatile lower end solid, something to keep transition to late in a block if you are needing to move right (even if the conditions are drying up). For the novice bowler you can expect great value in your purchase, getting a great piece of equipment for pennies over an entry level reactive bowling ball. The color options also appeal to novice bowlers who may care more about color than performance. The trusted Hustle core is in many bowling record books for a reason, it’s just that good. This ball has major shelf appeal and will look great in your bag!

The BRY is a new hybrid Hustle that feels cleaner than the USA. There were times I wanted my USA to get further down the lane the BRY solves that problem! The BRY is one of the cleanest Hustles through the front part of the lane which is SO useful for when the lanes want to hook and get off line and you don’t want to move left. If you’re a Hustle fan you’ll want to get the Hustle BRY!
