Hustle Core

When the original Hustle Core was created there was one goal in mind, more of an overall performance type motion in our entry level price point while providing control and stability. It is safe to say we exceeded even our expectations with this medium RG, medium differential core design. In fact, back in 2017, the Hustle INK was used to record the 34th sanctioned 900 in USBC history, thus solidifying the Hustle Core in the record books forever.



VTC™ Coverstock

Versatile Traction Control (VTC) was formulated with durability and consistent performance in mind specifically for the HP1 and HP2 lines. 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.

Hustle X-Ray Ball Review
I drilled up my HUSTLE XRAY with my standard 4.5 x 4 x 2 layout that I use on lower diff balls. I have tweaked the surface at 1500 to 3000.

The XRAY is a pleasant surprise. With the 1500 surface, the XRAY is just under my better sym balls like the OPTIMUM IDOL & PHAZE II. The XRAY is one that I can keep in front of me and still get good roll off the medium patterns when they get a little wet/dry. I can also ball up to the OPTIMUM or PHAZE II when I get pushed left or ball down to the TNT INFUZED when I need to open up the lane to the right.

Roto Grip nailed another lower price/high functionality piece that will work for starters or high-end players.

XRAY!!
The newest addition to Roto Grip's HP1 line is the Hustle XRAY! It features the proven Hustle core wrapped in the popular VTC Solid coverstock. I drilled up a fresh IQ Tour edition to compare it to, and I was not at all surprised to see the difference between the two balls. I drilled both balls 5x4x4.25 2LS and kept the OOB finish on both. To cut to the chase, the Hustle XRAY is much cleaner through the front part of the lane but provides much more board coverage compared to the IQ Tour. The IQ tour is earlier and smoother throughout and covers fewer boards from right to left. This is mostly due to core shape and design. If I had a new Hustle PBR, I put this right at about the same mark as the PBR. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a great bang-for-your-buck ball, the Hustle XRAY is going to be a solid option to go with!

My 2 Hustle X-Rays by Roto Grip Rick

PRODUCT DETAILS: COLOR: Slate / Black - CORE: Hustle™ Core - COVER: VTC™ Solid Reactive BOX FINISH: 4000-grit Abralon®

Layouts: X-RAY # 1: 5 X 4 X 4 … X-Ray #2: 5 x 3 ½ X 2 ½

Since the introduction of the Roto Grip Hustle line 8 years ago, I knew that the Hustle line would be a “game changer” for years to come. The Hustle INK established itself as a key piece for all levels of bowlers from weekly league bowlers all the way up to the professional ranks, like recording the 34th sanctioned 900 series to winning national PWBA and PBA tournaments over the past 8 years. My favorite Hustle all-time has been the Hustle INK for year after year even when Roto Grip released new ones to the line, the INK still stood out over all them until last year when Roto Grip released the RIP version and the RIP became my new favorite since my old INKs I had were worn out. The RIP to me is the INK 2.0 with the coloring being dark and “liquid” looking. Now the X-Ray has hit the market, the RIP has been benched for now for the simple fact the X-Ray rolls a little sooner but still packs a BIG punch entering the pin deck. I have a few standard layouts since hoping back into 15lbs equipment for the first time in 5 years due to bad car wrecks – YES – plural, 2 over the past 5 years, and I drilled the first one at 5 x 4 x 4 and now recently drilled a second one – with 5 x 3 ½ x 2 ½. The reactions on both are not but amazing. X-Ray #1 is super reliable front to back with a nice little late kick entering the pocket and X-Ray #2 is quite stronger coming off the pattern and was quite shocking to me to see that much motion in the back end that was still controllable. The X-Ray #2 likes the oil a little bit more than X-Ray #1. When you watch my video, you will see X-Ray #1 I play straighter with it and use smaller angles and X-Ray #2 I can swing the lane as much as I want. What a truly versatile bowling ball for the price point that the Hustle line is in. Don’t be afraid to try one of the Hustles, it will not let you down.
