Roto Grip Hustle USA Ball Review by PJ Haggerty
After drilling several of the Hustle line balls over the years, the Hustle USA is the latest addition and stands out from the rest. I’ve seen all types of players use this ball. The person who’s just starting to bowl but doesn’t want to spend money on a high performance ball loves the Hustle because of it’s price point. The league bowlers who want a compliment to some of their other equipment have enjoyed it because when lanes break down, the Hustle is a perfect fit. Lastly, the tournament players love it for those shorter patterns when they need to control the pocket.
I’ve drilled one so far and really like it. The differential is .30 so my goal was to make sure it flares enough, otherwise it might be too straight. I mapped it as 4 x 4 and left the surface alone. I’ve had the most success on medium to shorter patterns when the backends are crispy or when the middle of the lane is flat. It’s much cleaner than the high performance balls, but still provides a slower response time that can be extremely useful.
If you’re drilling your first ball, need a compliment to some of your other equipment, or need a ball for shorter patterns, the Hustle USA should be the next ball you drill.
