Roto Grip Hustle B/R/Y Bowling Ball

About Me 900 Global Staff Left Handed: High Rev High Speed Player Layout: 5 X 5 X 2 Pap: - 47/8 +1 Rev Rate: +-500 Speed 17-18mph Ball Video: https://youtu.be/ISlUUKgB7ME I’ve been considering trying out the Hustle series for a while, and after some convincing from my son Chaise, I finally decided to get the Hustle RIP. I absolutely loved it, so when Roto Grip released the Hustle B/R/Y and Xray, I knew I had to order them, along with the M&M. In my experience, the B/R/Y is a step down from the RIP, offering a bit more length and a sharper angle. It reminds me of the old days, when I could position myself closer to the gutter, play a straighter line with a slight curve, and consistently hit hard thanks to the excellent entry angle. I’ve always wanted equipment that allows me to avoid covering too many boards and play closer to the gutter, and I’ve finally found that in the B/R/Y. I’m excited to throw this ball even more. For a ball in Roto Grip’s "lower end" lineup, the B/R/Y is still a great, hard-hitting option. Chaise adds that he’s tried to find something comparable to the B/R/Y and can’t quite put his finger on it—it feels unique. To him, the B/R/Y is like a larger version of the After Dark Hybrid. Since his After Dark Hybrid cracked, he’s been looking for a long, angular hybrid to fill that spot, and the B/R/Y has delivered. He absolutely loves it. Many people might hesitate to explore the lower-tier lineup from most companies, but if anyone can make a great ball for beginners or for drier lane conditions, it’s Roto Grip. Honestly, I highly recommend giving the Hustle B/R/Y, or any of the Hustles, a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

And In each of their reviews, I would like to take a closer look at how the coverstocks developed by Roto Grip keep the Hustle line an industry standard in level-one bowling balls. So, let’s take a look at the Hustle B-R-Y Hybrid! The Hustle Core has become an industry standard since its Introduction in 2017. And The Hustle Core has proven to be a predictable and reliable workhorse for nearly any type of bowler! And I found those same consistent results with the B-R-Y. The Hustle core has a smooth and well-rounded motion that allows you, as the bowler, to control it! As a down-and-in player, I like that the Hustle Core responds to what I want it to do and allows me, the bowler, to control my shot! And for a medium RG and differential, the Hustle Core has plenty of destructive power through the pin deck. So, don’t let “level 1” push you away; the Hustle Core for any style or level of bowler will deliver responsive results time and time again! Let’s talk about what makes the Hustle B-R-Y an excellent choice– the coverstock! The new VTC (Vertical Traction Control) Hybrid coverstock on the B-R-Y is a finely tuned mixture of solid and pearl. The Vertical Traction Control in this hybrid mixture gives the Hustle B-R-Y a crisp and clean biting traction down the lane without being too harsh in the heads or too squirrely off the pattern. So, if you are looking for a smooth and well-defined motion, the VTC Hybrid is an excellent choice. Those who read my reviews know that Surface is my best friend, especially in weekly league night bowling! And with the Roto Grip line of VTC coverstocks I love the versatility it allows me as a bowler! And the VTC Hybrid found on the B-R-Y is a great example. For my higher speed and low rev style, the Reacta Gloss finish was okay but didn’t give me the clean and crisp motion I like. So I sanded my B-R-Y to 2000-grit Abralon, and my B-R-Y came alive and performed equally well on fresh oil or burned-up summer conditions and provided the predictable skid, hook and roll I could depend on! So, I would tell any bowler not to be afraid to find your sweet spot surface because, with the right surface on VTC Hybrid coverstock, you are in for a great night of bowling! So, if you are a new bowler starting your first fall season, the Hustle B-R-Y is a great all-around choice for your first ball, and it will provide you with a great season full of fun and excitement. And if you are a seasoned bowler bowling multiple nights- the B-R-Y will become your late-night saving grace! So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Hustle B-R-Y ready for the fall season. The Hustle B-R-Y is a winner!

Ball has teeth. Still in the honeymoon phase.

Ben Lapointe PAP: 4 7/8 over and 1 1/4 up Layout: 45 x 4 1/2 x 25 The Hustle series has truly re-defined the term "entry level", and that is no exception with the Hustle BRY. This ball reads the mid lane very well and maintains a great move off the end of the pattern for a ball at this price point. For me, I use this piece on burnt up house shots and on longer sport shots near the end of the block. I used a taller pin lay out on this to maximize the amount of hook i could get out of it and I am pleasantly surprised with how this stacks up with the stronger pieces in my bag.

I drilled the new roto grip Huslte B/R/Y 4x4x2 using vls. Roto Grip has one of the most consistent, affordable and underrated lines in the bowling world! The VTC hrbrid coverstock gives this ball a unique shape in the hustle line, while still having characteristics of a hustles we all love. The Hustle core has proven to be great over and over again and this one is no different! No matter if you’re a beginner, or a pro, this ball will do what you need it to do. Compared to the Hustle RIP, this B/R/Y is a touch longer and more smooth than the RIP. This ball is a ball 5 in my bag, and still provides me with much needed angles when the patterns get tough late in the day!

Ball Specs: Hustle BRY Color: Burgundy/Red/Yale Blue Coverstock: Versatile Traction Control (VTC) Hybrid Reaction Core: Hustle Factory Finish: Reacta Gloss Review: The Hustle BRY features the VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Hybrid Reactive coverstock, which combines the best aspects of both solid and pearl coverstocks. This gives the ball a balanced reaction, offering enough traction in the mid-lane to read the conditions well, while still retaining energy for a strong yet controllable backend finish. The reacta gloss polish finish allows the ball to easily clear the heads, making it an excellent choice for playing straighter lines or when the lanes are starting to break down. One of the key strengths of the Hustle BRY is its versatility. It performs well on a variety of lane conditions, making it a great go-to ball for league play or tournaments where you may encounter changing conditions. The hybrid coverstock gives it enough bite to handle medium oil, while the core keeps the reaction smooth and predictable on lighter conditions. Whether you’re a beginner looking for your first performance ball or an experienced player in need of a versatile option for transitioning lanes, the Hustle BRY provides a great balance of performance, control, and value. Its striking appearance and dependable reaction make it a valuable addition to any bowler’s arsenal, offering a level of confidence and consistency that you can rely on in any situation.

The Roto Grip Hustle BRY has quickly become a standout in my bowling arsenal, thanks to its impressive blend of performance and versatility. With its innovative Hustle core and MicroBite coverstock, the ball provides a dependable and controlled reaction across a range of lane conditions, particularly on medium to light oil patterns. I’ve found its smooth, predictable motion and strong backend reaction to be incredibly effective, allowing me to fine-tune my approach and hit the pocket with confidence. Its durable build ensures consistent performance, and the striking design adds a touch of flair to my game. Overall, the Hustle BRY offers an excellent balance of control and power, making it an invaluable asset for enhancing my bowling experience.

I drilled my HUSTLE BRY pin up fairly strong with a 4.5 x 3.5 x 2 VLS layout. I have touched the surface up a couple of times with a 1500 and 2000 pad. This is a good ball to get thru the fronts when your bigger & medium balls start to read too quickly. I compared it with a couple of my other better medium pieces in the SUMMIT PEAK and THE ROAD. The HUSTLE BRY is a much slower read than THE ROAD. When my THE ROAD and SUMMITT PEAK are too much ball, the BRY is slower/smoother off the spot for me. The HUSTLE BRY was much better on hooking patterns for me and also defined friction to the right of my target. I could play closer to the oil line with the BRY and not have it jump like the other two did. As usual, Roto Grip nailed the starter piece ball. The HUSTLE BRY is much more than a starter ball and can help the better player out with a smooth controllable option on hooking lanes.

The latest addition the Hustle BRY is wrapped in the VTC hybrid. The BRY is cleaner down lane compared to X-ray. I used the layout of 45 x 4 x45. The main center I bowl in is a high friction surface so this is a great selection out of my bag. The BRY is a great choice for all skill levels.

What more can be said about the Hustle line that hasn't already been said? It is without a doubt the best "bang for your buck" in bowling. The VTC cover with the Hustle core has the 34th sanctioned 900 series under it's belt, along with countless other honor scores and accolades. The VTC Pearl cover on the Hustle BRY provides length and control on the driest of lanes. I drilled mine very strong with a 3.5x2x0 layout and it's a great complement to the Hustle X-Ray. It gets down the lane easier than the X-Ray, a good 10 feet longer before it starts making it's motion. It's a great perfect choice for dry house shots and burn squads for tournaments.
