And each of these new releases brings its own unique qualities to Roto Grip’s HP1 line. So, in this review, we will discuss the Hustle M-M as this Pearl Hustle beauty delivered excellent results. So, let’s take a closer look. The Hustle Core has become a successful industry standard. Since its Introduction in 2017, inside the Hustle INK, the Hustle Core has proven to be a smooth, consistent workhorse. And I found those same results with the M-M. The Hustle Core revs briskly yet maintains a smooth and stable motion as it makes its way to the pocket. And for a medium RG and differential, the Hustle Core has plenty of destructive power through the pin deck. So, don’t let HP1 push you away; the Hustle Core will deliver results for any style or level of bowler. The new VTC (Vertical Traction Control) Pearl coverstock is not only stylish and attractive; it provides a great look for the Hustle M-M. I found the VTC Pearl to roll later than expected, making this Hustle M-M an excellent late-night ball or on dry lane conditions. And being a straighter player, I like to stay in my comfort zone, especially when the lanes break down. So, knowing my higher speed and low rev rate, I sanded my Hustle M-M with 3000-grit Abralon. And the VTC Pearl Coverstock delivered the comfort and stability I depend on. And further, I could count on the VTC to blend the worn conditions while keeping me in my A game. So, for a down-and-in player like me, that kind of stability - speaks volumes. So, in conclusion, whether you are looking for your first full fingertip ball or a seasoned bowler looking to fill that late-night and dry-condition ball to add to your arsenal. I would highly suggest the Hustle M-M for your game. So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Hustle M-M ready for league play tonight, as the M-M will deliver.

The new Hustle M&M (Magenta and Midnight) features the tried-and-true Hustle core wrapped in the VTC Reactive Pearl coverstock. At 15 pounds the RG is 2.53 and the differential is .030. Drilled at 5x4x2 (pin above bridge) this ball is excellent on drier conditions. The pearl cover and low differential make this an easy ball to use when the lanes start to get burned up. I am still able to play further right in the drier part of the lane and the M&M does not overreact. It provides great length with a medium-quick response on the backend. The M&M creates a good entry angle into the pocket providing outstanding pin action. This ball has a similar motion to the Hustle Wine. If you are looking for a great performance ball at a low price, the Hustle line will not disappoint.

The Roto Grip Hustle M&M has a Medium RG value of 2.53 a low differential of 0.030. With the second coming of the Hustle Ink, Roto Grip came out with the Hustle RIP. As the RIP is a solid, the Hustle M&M is the pearl version. As a consumer you may say why a pearl version, well the main reason is so you can go down to something in your bag that has a similar shape just goes a tad bit longer and sharper off the spot on those medium to dry lane conditions. The Hustle M&M features the original Hustle Core with the Versatile Traction Control (VTC) Pearl Reactive Cover. This formula delivers outstanding performance while providing control and versatility without being overly aggressive. So, if stability and control is what you are after, look no further. The Hustle INK put the bowling world on notice when it delivered the 34th sanctioned 900 Series in bowling history. From that point on, the Hustle Series has become better known for providing the most "bang for your buck." In comparison to the Roto Grip Hyped Pearl in which has the same coverstock, the Hustle M&M will be a pinch smoother and later off the spot basically due to the core differences. The M&M will offer you a very versatile ball in which you can drill the ball either pin up or pin down to favor the driest of conditions. In the bag, will be the Summit, Xponent, Zen Gold Label and Roto Grip Hustle RIP, Roto Grip Hustle M&M.

The Hustle RIP and the Hustle MM. The RIP is a Hustle INK remake. If you don’t remember the INK, it was SUPER smooth and tippy because it was a cleaner solid combined perfectly with a little higher RG and low diff. The Hustle MM is new and it reminds me of an UpRoar. It gets into a heavier roll and jerks and stops a little more than the RIP. The RIP can handle some transition and fresh but the MM will excel on the super burn cause it will tip a lot more. Great price point and crazy performance.

Roto Grip Hustle M&M Layout 5 x 4 x 2.5 Style – stroker Ball Speed – 14–15 mph at pins Condition – house pattern - older HPL surface Surface – box condition, then scuffed lightly with 2000 and 1000 pads The Hustle line has always exemplified great performance at a super reasonable price point. This one and the RIP seem to continue this tradition. Out of the box the ball was super clean. Really, it was too clean for what I was bowling on. But if you’re rolling a Hustle, that’s what you’re looking for. After a few shots I lightly touched the surface with a 2000 pad and then a 1000 pad. It brought it to life some, but still a little too weak for how much oil was on the lane. I’m going to need a really transitioned lane and or lighter pattern to get much use out of this ball. Most of my success over the years has been with the solid versions of Hustle’s (ie. Ink) but I wanted to give the pearl version a shot. Not unhappy with the purchase, but this will be a very niche ball for me.

Hey everyone, I'm back with another ball review, and this time it's for the Roto Grip Hustle M-M Pearl In 15 pounds this ball is wrapped in the VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Pearl Coverstock and comes with Reacta Gloss with an RG of 2.53, Diff of .030. Depending on the Hustle M-M’s 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 RIP will glide just a tad through the front of the lane compared to the Hustle M-M. This two-ball release will be a nice transition when the "benchmark" balls are too early. The Solid and Pearl will naturally be longer and more robust.

User Specs: Left handed, 375 rev rate, 17mph speed, 45 degree angle of rotation, 7 degrees tilt Layout: 4 x 2 The Hustle M&M is a new symmetric ball in Roto Grip’s HP1 line. It features the VTC Pearl coverstock, which is a medium to lower strength cover. The core is the Hustle core, which comes in at a 2.53 RG and .030 differential in 15 pounds. On paper, it’s a reskin of the Hustle Wine, but on the lane it’s surprisingly different. I’ve used the Hustle M&M on several different conditions at a couple different surfaces. First, the box Reacta Gloss surface hasn’t been great for me, so I resurfaced it to 1000 grit on a resurfacing machine, and then finished it with Storm’s Step 2 compound. The result was a surprisingly heavy and early roll, but that still responded very sharply down lane. The easiest way to describe it is that it feels like a baby Duo, same exactly reaction shape and attributes, just weaker across the board. I ended up taking a worn 3000 pad to it by hand to crack the shine to blend it out a little but still retain the general reaction. The Hustle M&M greatly overreaches its price point, delivering a strong and powerful reaction considering what it should do on paper, reaching up to be even stronger than a Phaze 5 for me. It rolls stable enough to act like it has a stronger core in it than it does, and the cover is also strong enough that with a little surface, it can reasonably play on most typical league shots and even be a great ball down option on some tougher ones.

The new Hustle M&M is the direct complement to the Hustle RIP. It comes out of the box polished with ReactaGloss and has the same RG and differential values as the rest of the Hustle line at 2.53 and .030, respectively. In my initial testing, the M&M was the perfect step down from the polished solid Hustle RIP. The biggest difference is not seen in the front part of the lane, as they both glide through it pretty effortlessly, but in the back part of the lane where I found the M&M to be much more responsive and quicker than the RIP. I drilled my M&M identical to my RIP at 4.5x4x2, which is my typical benchmark layout. For fresh conditions, the M&M was a bit too erratic down the lane, but once the lane started to transition a bit and the backends got a little blended, the M&M was in it's prime situation and gave me the most room for error as well as continuation through the pins from deeper inside.

Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle M+M VTC™ Pearl Reactive – Reacta Gloss Weight Block: Hustle™ (Symmetrical) Color: Midnight + Magenta Review: The Hustle line continues to pump out quality equipment at an affordable price. What’s not to love about that?! This ball is a must have for all levels of bowlers. For those who bowl tournaments you can bring this ball out when the lanes begin to get a little more friction to them. While on the flip side this is a great starter ball for new bowlers who aren’t ready to commit to that $250 ball just yet. The Hustle line has historically been one of the best lines in bowling with the addition of the RIP and MM that history continues. Make sure you get out there and pick yours up today!

Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle M+M VTC™ Pearl Reactive – Reacta Gloss Weight Block: Hustle™ (Symmetrical) Color: Midnight + Magenta 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. For the seasoned veterans you can expect an extremely versatile lower end pearl, 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.
