Roto Grip Hustle M M Bowling Ball

I found both these balls to be a great bang for your buck. Low price entry point although with plenty of performance the Hustles will be excellent for those lower to medium oil conditions. The solid provided a pretty smooth reaction. Finished with a polish this ball is clean through the front part of the lane and provides plenty of predictability down lane without overreacting. I have a pin down layout on the solid which allows me to keep the shapes and angles in front of me and play more up the lane. As that begins to fade I can transition to the pinup M-M to get the ball to see the lane sooner and allow me to open my angles up. I really enjoyed both these balls and can see myself using them as my weakest balls in competition.

Cover: VTC Pearl Reactive Core: Hustle RG: 2.53 RG. Diff.: 0.030 Finish: Reacta Gloss Roto Grip’s new Hustle M&M is a Pearl Symmetrical piece that is good for Light-Medium Oil conditions. This is a controllable piece with the Medium RG & Diff. Core design. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin over the Ring Finger with the CG kicked out 1 1/2” from the palm. Out of Box ball motion was clean through the fronts with a sharp backend reaction. This piece is good for Light – Medium Oil Patterns. I compared this piece to the Roto Grip Hustle Wine, Storm Hy-Road (Hybrid), and Storm Hy-Road Pearl. Wine was 1-2 boards weaker. Hy-Road (Hybrid) was 1-2 Stronger all around. Hy-Road Pearl was similar to the M&M. Check Out the Ball motion Video on my YouTube Page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCI1YD-54pwPGHG4MGrYQjFw

Roto Grip Hustle M-M Ball Specs: Hustle Core with VTC Pearl Reactive cover and finished with Reacta Gloss Layout Specs: 50 x 4 x 70 tested on THS with slight bit of out of bounds towards the gutters and Pro Lane panels My insight: Mine out of the box reminded me of a really cool lava lamp I had back in my early childhood, the midnight blue and magenta is liquidly smooth. On the lanes, using a layout similar to my Hustle Wine, I see a little stronger and earlier movement then the Wine, where the Wine tends to skid a little bit more in the front and heavier part of the pattern, the M-M picked up a smidge earlier, but did not give up any strength in the backend. Compared to the Hustle RIP, I was using the same tracer board downlane and four boards left on the approach as a starting point, and a gentle reminder: I am left handed, so keep that in mind. If you go to my facebook page, you can watch a down lane video of the M-M and the RIP to see how much quicker the RIP makes a direction change. The sheer smoothness of the Hustle M-M is amazing for the line of balls it fits into. Once again, Roto Grip has outdone themselves again with the new Hustle M-M! To me it means MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, more strikes!

Layout: 4 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 3 (60 x 4 1/2 x 40) Surface: Reacta Gloss The new Hustle M&M brings back the Hustle Core and VTC Pearl coverstock found in the Hustle Wine. The new color scheme makes it really stand out going down the lane on the shelf. While testing on a typical house pattern, I saw pretty easy length and angular backend that was great for the lower oil condition. When comparing this to the Hustle RIP, I saw a few more feet of length and more angular backend by about 2-3 boards overall. This ball had faster response than the Hustle RIP due to the pearl coverstock. I think the best use for this ball would be broken down house conditions or lower volume sport patterns where you need more length and an angular motion. If you had a Hustle Camo and need more angularity, this is the ball for you. If you liked the Hustle Wine, this can be a nice replacement. To me compared to the hustle wine, I saw slightly more midlane roll with the M&M but don't think it would be ideal to have both balls unless they have different drillings. As with any pearl ball, you can remove the reacta gloss for extra traction and smoother ball motion. Adam Chase Storm Staff
