The Hustle™ Series was born with one goal: to provide more "overall performance" than any other ball in its class. A decade later, it's a global phenomenon used by first timers and Major Champions alike.
While the core remains the same reliable workhorse that made history, the diversity of the VTC™ (Versatile Traction Control) coverstock line means there is a Hustle for every style of play. It's not about how much you spend; it's about how you Hustle.
For the First-Time Reactive Buyers: Forgiving, predictable, and easy to control.
For the Advanced Players: The ultimate weapon for navigating light-to-medium oil and broken-down patterns.
For Everyone: Outstanding performance that punches WAY above its weight class.

Roto Grip Hustle VP Review by Lonnie Pemberton
LANE CONDITION Length:43 Volume: Med-High Type (THS, Sport Pattern etc):THS COMMENTS Core: Hustle Cover: VTC Pearl Finish: Power-Edge RG: 2.53 (15) Diff: 0.030 (15) ME: Right-Handed Tweener Speed: 12-13 mph Rev Rate: 315 Axis Tilt: 14° Axis Rotation: 74° PAP: 5 1/8 R 7/8 Up LAYOUT: Pin Tall over bridge 5 1/2 X 4 1/2 X 1 VLS New colors available in the HP1 line-up. The Pearl addition is called the Hustle VP. The Hustle core has been out there getting it done for years now and still leads the price point in performance for the dollar. The new Orange Creamsicle color scheme on the Hustle VP definitely turns heads. The motion you get out of this entry-level release will too. I tested the Hustle VP on our house pattern after a shift of Senior league had bowled. This makes for a good look at how balls handle transition. I opted for a layout which is much stronger down-lane than I had on previous Hustles I've drilled and boy did I see it. I had to open my angles more than I had expected based on previous hustles I've drilled. This ball really came off the back-end. I couldn't baby the speed either. My carry was outstanding. Once I found the pocket this ball really knocks them off the deck. It creates great angle coming off the outside of the lane. I threw my Hustle RIP (My favorite Hustle) and was amazed at how much slower it was down-lane. This ball is a great value piece and as a Pro Shop Operator it's an easy addition to the wall. Everyone loves to get more for less and this ball lets you do that in spades.

Hustle VP
Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle VP Cover stock VTC Pearl Reactive Weight Block Hustle™ Core (Symmetrical) Power Edge Finish Layout 4 x 4 x 2” Pin Buffer Bowler Specs: Right Hand. PAP 5” Over 1/2 up Rev Rate 300. Tilt 20. Rotation 50. Speed at release 17 Review: The Hustle line is always a great choice. I always know when I drill one, I will like it. The Hustle balls are a great deal and perform and hit like a much higher priced ball. The new Hustle VP (Vanilla Popsicle) has really impressed me! The Hustle VP hooks more than I expected and has a strong predictable move on the back end. The drive through the pins and carry are excellent. I was able to swing the Hustle VP to the dry on our house shot and it created to look I hoped for. The Hustle VP drove through the pocket hard. The orange cream colors look very nice going down the lane. I let one of my buddies with a very high tilt and low speed test it out and he got more miss room and drive than with a lot of his other medium balls. I would consider this ball medium plus in total hook. I put this ball above my Surge but under my Gremlin in total boards. This ball is a very good pick for the new or experienced bowler. Summary: The Hustle VP preforms like a much higher priced ball. The forgiveness and predictability of this ball is a plus. The Glow color is unique and looks great as it rolls.

As Good As it Looks
I might have been drawn to Hustle VP strictly because of the colors but after only bringing this ball on vacation with me, I can say this ball is impressive. We went to Myrtle Beach Bowl for 2 hours of bowling for $10 a person just because well why not be in a bowling alley on vacation even though I practically live in one daily. The lanes were obviously not oiled since the day before so it took about a game to be able to throw it at a decent speed. I was able to play straight up 1st arrow throwing about 16 mph and shot a decent 190 game. I decided to see how deep I could play and found a sweet spot on the lanes rolling the ball around 20 at the arrows and getting it out in between 10 to 15. I was able to bowl back-to-back 225 games. I did miss a couple 10 pins but that’s what happens when you only bring one ball.
