Roto Grip wants to get you hyped up with this mid-performance bowling ball! The Roto Grip Hyped Pearl introduces the Hyped core which features a low RG. This core allows the ball to offer more overall motion than Roto Grip's entry-level balls but a little less than their upper-mid performance bowling balls. The coverstock on the Hyped Pearl is the VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Pearl Coverstock which provides durability and consistency on medium oil condtions.
Color: Black/Carolina/Charcoal
All colors do vary somewhat from the picture shown
Coverstock: VTC Pearl Reactive
Core: Hyped
Finish: 1500-grit Polished
Recommended Lane Condition: Medium
RG: 2.52 (15# ball)

Hyped Pearl
55 x 5 x 35
Hyped Pearl is exactly what I expected, a ball down from Hyped Hybrid. It is a little longer in the midlane with more down lane continuation. This is Roto Grip's version of the Electrify Pearl. I will be recommending these balls quite often in my main pro shop location being that we have old high friction synthetics. Right now across our 3 brands we have the most complete product line and a ball to match every style! Both Hyped Balls are different enough you can utilize both effectively in your arsenal!

The Roto Grip Hyped Pearl utilizes the Hyped Core and VTC pearl coverstock. The Hyped Pearl reminded me a little of the MVP Pearl in regards to how easy it clears the front part of the lane. The Hyped Pearl is stronger on the back end for me than the MVP Pearl. I have used the Hyped Pearl in several league nights so far. I have been impressed with the Hyped Pearl. The intention of this line of balls was to fill the gap between the HP3 and HP1 lines. I feel Roto Grip has accomplished this goal. The carry has been impressive. The Hyped Pearl is going to be most effective on medium and medium light conditions. I am looking forward to using the Hyped Pearl in tournaments after the breakdown in lane conditions happens.

Hp2 price point with a Hp4 reaction. Super easy through the front part of the lane with all the angle anyone would ever need in the back. Fantastic looking on the shelf and going down the lane will make this piece a winner for all styles.

The Hyped Pearl is my favorite of the four new Storm releases. My first thought was that it is similar to a Burner Pearl, but it goes through the pins better for me. The little bit more angle down lane helps me get the corners out.
This ball has an RG of 2.52 and a differential of 0.36. It is in Roto Grip's HP2 line, so you can expect it to be a little stronger than both new Hustles. I will throw the Hyped Pearl right before the Hustle Camo, then go into the Hustle Wine. Those three are a great combination of balls for when the lanes are hooking. It is comparable to the Electrify Solid as well. Both of these balls are great options for house shots.

Absolutely love the Hyped Pearl. It's clean, angular and on the weaker side of the spectrum. When the lanes are deep into transition and you need a ball that will clear the fronts and reserve energy down lane the Hyped Pearl is a great option. Also, the Hyped line will work well on those higher friction surfaces. The hybrid version is smoother and more forward compared agains the pearl.

The Hyped Pearl. This ball deserves all the Hype. Wow ... Do not sleep on this ball this ball features the new hyped core covered with the VTC coverstock . This might be the cleanest ball i have ever thrown. Reaction smooth and predictable which you don't find in a pearl. Pearls tend to jump off the spot down lane where the Hyped pearl is slow and smooth. This a great ball for drier lane conditions where you play the dry controlled

60 x 4 1/2 x 45 on the layout
Axis point is 4 7/16 over and 3/8 up. Revrate in the upper 300s, ball speed between 15 and 16 mph. I typically like to start at 15 on a typical house shot and migrate in from there.
Initial reaction...Roto has been doing a great job with color combos. The color of this ball pops off the shelf and looks very nice going down the lane!
On to the review:
I drilled this with the intention of being able to throw it on higher friction surfaces or to be able to play some straighter angles but this ball definitely has a lot more bang for the buck than anticipated. First couple of shots after getting warmed up, I threw in the same spot as my normal starting point, not expecting it to make it back and adjusting accordingly. The ball floated through the fronts with ease and to my surprise, made it back to the pocket and struck with a thunderous messenger! This ball gave me a reaction shape that I've seen previously with the Hustle RAP but more pop down lane! I would say that it covered 3-4 more total boards with similar length to my RAP. I tried some different hand positions and I think this ball performs at it's best (for me) with an up-the-back hand position to gain a more consistent read of the breakpoint. It is naturally very clean through the front, so I did not need to help it be more snappy.
I would say that my intended use for this ball was right on the money and will find a spot in the tournament bag for those higher friction centers!
If you are looking for something to get you a little extra added length and not sacrifice too much in the hook department, this ball will certainly do the trick. Go out and drill one today!

Review:
Of the two Hypes the Hype Pearl was my favorite of the two. Again, another affordable ball that is making a big motion for its price point. With its backend motion it reminds me a lot of my Hyroad Pearl. This is a ball that I like to pull out when the lanes are fried, and I need something that is going to get down the lane but provide plenty of pop on the backend. Just like the Hyped Hybrid I can see this ball being great for beginners or tournament bowlers.

The Hyped Pearl is one of two in a new line for the HP2 category, and features the VTC Pearl cover also found on the Hustle Wine, and the new Hyped core coming in at a 2.52 RG and .036 differential. The core numbers are a very unique combination, differentials are very seldom seen in the upper .030s, and the overall reaction is strong, but not quite heavy rolling. It’s also not very quick revving, which gives it a very methodical continuous reaction that’s virtually on top of the IQ Emerald. It has a firm but not sharp move on the backend and plays well from multiple angles. The Hyped Pearl should be a perfect choice either to start a league set out with or as a step down later in the set or block at a tournament, and is a little longer and sharper than the Hybrid.

The Hyped Hybrid and Pearl are new pieces in the HP2 line. Both are clean but the Hybrid picks up MUCH earlier and is much slower on the back. But it’s good slower. I’m glad they didn’t do a solid because a lot if times a solid HP2 ball gets into a roll too quick but is too weak to hook. The Hyped Hybrid has the perfect blend of strength and backend.
The Hyped Pearl is the perfect compliment. It’s got the same core but it feels like a much different ball. I have it 4-5 feet clean and much more on the back which is to be expected from a pearl.
You can honestly drill both and use the Hybrid on the fresh and the Pearl to finish off the night.

Roto Grip Hyped Pearl Ball Review by PJ Haggerty
The latest addition to the Roto Grip HP2 line is the Hyped Pearl. With an RG of 2.53 and differential of .032, the Hyped Pearl is a perfect addition to the line, especially for medium oil conditions. The masterminds in Utah decided to beef up the HP2 line with the lowest RG core ever made to give the bowler a great compliment to the HP3 line. I’m truly impressed with the Hyped Pearl and it has earned a spot in my bag for league and tournaments.
I’ve drilled one Hyped Pearl so far and think it rolls great. I drilled it as 4.5 x 4 x 60. I wanted this to be a ball to go to after my Idol Helios starts to get tired but before I need to use a Hustle. The Hyped Pearl fills that gap perfectly. With that said, I think this ball is best used on those medium-lighter volume patterns. I also scratched the surface with a 3000 pad just to smooth off the response time some and make it a touch smoother.
Be on the look out for a great performing ball at an attractive price point that you can use on multiple patterns! Go drill one!

The all-new Hyped Series from Roto Grip has hit a new mark of success in their HP2 lineup. With the all-new Hyped Core wrapped with the proven VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Pearl Coverstock, this fresh SP2 Pearl delivered excellent results at a moderate price. First, let’s take a closer look at how the Hyped Pearl handled a THS.
Roto Grip did an outstanding job with its development of the all-new Hyped Core. Being a higher-speed and lower-rev player, I like how this core provided a predictable, well-rounded motion. Whether this ball was wrapped with the Pearl or the Hybrid coverstock, I could depend on it. Further, I liked how the Hyped Core, being a low RG or “centered heavy†ball, delivered a robust rolling motion without losing its striking power through the pins. This combination makes the Hyped Core the perfect THS companion for any straighter bowler like me. In my opinion, the Hyped Core is what Roto-Grip wanted to achieve - a medium flare or moderate hooking ball with the ideal ball motion! For a THS, the Hyped Core is fantastic, and I hope this core will stick around for a long time!
Being a high-speed/low-rev player, Pearl covers usually tend to fit my game best late at night or in broken-down conditions. The Hyped Pearl is no exception! This VTC Pearl Cover performed nicely as the first shift transitioned and excelled during the second shift of league night bowling. I liked how this cover read the wet/dry conditions. Further, I liked how it allowed me the opportunity to play deep inside without worrying if my rev rate would get me to the headpin. For once, I could actually relax late-night. I could trust this ball to maintain a sweeping and arching motion and strike, even when I was out of my comfort zone on those late-night conditions.
In conclusion, the Hyped Pearl is an excellent choice for low-rev/high-speed players on a late-night THS. The Hyped Pearl brings a welcoming look and motion to your game at a low to moderate price. Further, it has a warming Blue/Charcoal Cover that gives you a smooth, professional look going down the lane. Finally, it will be the perfect companion to the Hyped Hybrid or when your SP3 performance balls like Rubicon UC2 are simply too much to handle. So, talk to your local pro shop operator today and see how the Hyped Pearl will fit into your arsenal!

I drilled my HYPED PEARL at 4 x 30. I have a HYPED HYBRID at 4.5 x 30 so I wanted something to see if I could use this as a step down that still had a good shape to it. The HYPED PEARL is a great addition to the Roto Grip HP 2 line. Good push and really nice shape down lane. Compared to the HYPED HYBRID, the HYPED PEARL was a 4/2 move back to the right. It was a great compliment as it got thru the early burn the HYBRID started seeing. I balled up to a RST-X2 to see how where this one compared to both balls. They both played off the RST-X2 pretty well and both were good ball down choices. The HYPED HYBRID shape was continuous with length and the HYPED PEARL was more push and a later move down lane.

Review:
We were sad to see the MVP line fade away but are so glad that they have replaced it with such an amazing line in the Hyped. No matter your talent level you should have a mid level ball in your bag and this piece fits anyone with its versatility. If you are bowling late in block then this shape will benefit you greatly. We feel this ball has the perfect amount of length down lane without that overpowering snap effect some pearl balls today have. The continuation is also amazing for a mid level piece.

2 new releases from Roto Grip on the lower end side have me really excited. Introducing the all new Hyped Hybrid and Hyped Pearl. Both Hypes have the same Hyped Core inside but one has the VTC Pearl reactive coverstock and one has the VTC Hybrid reactive coverstock. These 2 new pieces are a step up from the Hustle line. The Hyped Hybrid and Hyped Pearl are a real bang for your buck when it comes to performance. These bowling balls defiantly don’t lack performance!
The Hyped Pearl is very clean through the front part of the lane, retains a lot of energy, and has a sharp but smoother reaction on the back end. The Hyped Hybrid likes to see the lane a lot more throughout all parts of the lane over the Pearl. The Hyped Hybrid is earlier and a lot smoother on the back end compared to the pearl. They Hyped Pearl is better for second transition when you need something clean but controllable and the Hyped Hybrid would be the ball before the pearl if a player needs a weaker option but also something that’ll still see the mid lane and give the player ultimate control.
Stop by your local Storm VIP Pro Shop and see what the HYPE is about!

Roto Grip Hyped Pearl - 65 x 5 x 50 - 1500 grit polished
Ball test conditions: Practiced on 44ft THS on SPL and 46ft THS on older HPL
The HP2 line just got HYPED UP!!!
After drilling the Hyped Hybrid with a shorter pin, and wanted to see how the PEARL version would be with a longer P2P with similar angles of what I had on the HP2 balls I had in the past.
The first thing I noticed was the direction change from skid to hook was a little shorter then I thought it would be, the movement in the mid part of the pattern / lane panels were a lot like my Hustle Wine with a 5 inch P2P. Moved in to the roll stage later then the Hustle Wine with a stronger angle into the pins. The SPL panels and 44ft THS caused the ball to labor a little more on the back end of the shots, and did not quite "get there" without getting outside of the track area or going deep into 4th arrow with closing down the angles in getting straighter. That was the BEST read I had with the Hyped Pearl. Still could miss a little in or out and the ball still roll great, held it own even through the breakdown. On HPL with 46ft THS, the ball was money anywhere I played on fresh and first part of the transition. The Hyped Pearl will be in that league bag for that center. Going with the Hyped Pearl, 5 inch P2P RST X*1, the RST*2, and Zen Master for that league.

For those of us you that remember the Nomad line and wished it would be reintroduced, well, this is pretty close to that! Welcome the Roto Grip Hyped line! I've been looking forward to this one and believe me it didn't disappoint! In comparison to the Hyped Hybrid, the pearl is a step down with more push in the front and good recovery in the back. I wouldn't say that it is hockey stick motion off the back, but just below strong-motion off the back for more controlled motion when the Hyped Hybrid runs out of room on the left side forcing your angle to be too deep. I always hit my surface with a light 3000 so my pearls can read the midlane a bit sooner and did the same. I can see this in play on medium-light to dry lanes, again not skid-flippy which can be hard to control, but an option to open up the lanes without sacrificing control with quality aggression thru the pins. There will be lots of Hype over the Hyped line, so go pre-order one or hit up a Matchmaker and test one out if possible. For an HP2, you're gonna get tremendous value and a pin destroyer!

The all new Hyped Pearl features the Hypedâ„¢ Core which was created to provide us more overall ball motion than the Hustleâ„¢ Core found in the HP1 Line, while also creating a viable step down option (less performance) than the motions found from our HP3 Line of balls. Roto Grip accomplished this goal. The Hyped Core provides a strong overall ball motion from front to back while allowing the ball to hook a large amount down lane. The Pearl is a little cleaner than the Hybrid which allows you to open up your angles a bit more, however, each ball is only 1-2 boards different from one another with the Hybrid hooking more than the pearl. This ball is extremely versatile and is very receptive to surface changes. This ball is an absolute monster for the price point, you will not be disappointed with either the Hybrid or Pearl, go out and get yours today!

Likes: Uproar vibes!
Dislikes: can be too clean and too angular...
The Hyped Pearl is an amazing late block or low volume, angular option. I usually like to use balls like pin down hyroad pearls, iq emeralds, or hustle camo’s. All of those are fairly slow down lane. The Hyped pearl is the perfect angular option when these are in play! I kind of get Uproar vibes from the Hyped Pearl!
The Hyped Hybrid for me is basically the same reaction but a little sooner and a little less angular. I would recommend the Hybrid version for lower ball speed players or for the higher rev players.
I have not yet changed surfaces on the balls, so the reactions are right out of the box.
Layouts for both: 50x5x30 or 4x5x2

UFO Alert-4.5x5x3.75

This new hyped pearl is one of the best Hp2 balls to date. This line reminds me of the nomads from back in the day. If you're looking for a ball close to that nomad pearl this is the ball for you. If this ball goes a little too long for you, just hit it with an abralon pad. This is a perfect go to ball when the lane is breaking down and those bigger core and surface balls are too early. Don't sleep on this hyped pearl, get to your local pro shop and get this new piece, and you wont be disappointed.

Roto Grip Hyped Pearl
Layout: 50 x 4 3/4†x 40
The Hyped Pearl is your prototypical light-to-medium oil shiny ball...and I love it! Our house has been on the drier side recently, and this ball is perfect for it. It skids through the fronts easy and has a hard-arc backend reaction (not quite a flip) and is at home when the lanes dry out. It has just enough mid lane traction to make it predictable, but not too much to make it too strong for drier lanes. The Hyped Pearl has two easy comparisons – the Hyped Hybrid and the Storm Phaze 4. It is a similar shape overall to the Phaze 4, but is about 3 to 4 boards weaker. The Hyped Hybrid hooks 1 to 2 boards more overall than the Hyped Pearl, and is a good bit smoother overall as well.

Roto Grip Hyped Pearl Ball Review
When I saw this ball go down the lane I was shocked how much it hooked down the lane for a mid-price pearl. After watching my pro shop guy throw his, the overall shape the ball made I knew I didn't have that type of ball in my bag. Some of the house shots in our area are lower volume and the lane surfaces are higher friction so I knew I could use a ball that is weaker than a Wolverine but stronger than my Hustle Wine which is too weak for me to use on the under/over conditions of the house shots.
I drilled mine with a dual angle layout of 50 X 41/2 X 30 to compliment my 900 Global Wolverine. When the Wolverine starts to hook early and becomes too forward through the pins I can just ball down to the Hyped Pearl and stay in the same zone on the house shot. This ball may also give me the ball motion I need later in tournament play on longer patterns in houses that have higher friction surfaces. I have drilled a Hyroad along with the Hustle Wine this ball would fit the gap.

The new low end ball in the RG HP2 line is the Hyped Pearl. I drilled mine 5 x 4 x 2.5 pin up. I was pleasantly surprised on the strength. With the pearl cover is was clean, but read midlane and was way stronger off the friction that I was expecting. The Hyped I figured it would be used for later blocks or 3rd game of league, but its just a little too much ball. I can actually use the the Hyped Pearl for more medium lane conditions. I have the Hyped Pearl above the 900 Global Burners and the RG Hustles. But below the IQ's or Idol Helios.
I have heard from a lot of staffers they are putting some surface on the Hyped Pearl to help blend out the overall reaction. Great Addition to the RG Line!

The Hyped Pearl features a new Hyped Core and the VTC pearl reactive coverstock. This ball is the strongest ball I can remember in the HP2 line. This ball was designed to be a step up from the Hustle line and Roto Grip succeeded. This ball is an absolute steal at its price point when it comes to performance. The Hyped Pearl comes finished at 1500 grit factory polish and at 15 pounds it has a RG of 2.52 and a differential of .036. This ball is certainly a great option for drier house shots and later in the block at tournaments. This ball is a little sensitive to oil for me as I left me at box finish but when it sees the dry, this ball shows its strength. It has a very strong move at the breakpoint, not a skid/flip motion but not an arc either. Whatever you want to call the motion, the ball just keeps going through the pins. Just as it is a step up from the Hustle line, it is a good 5 to 7 boards weaker than a similarly drilled Rubicon UC2. But again, this ball is all performance at a very affordable price point.

Roto Grip Hyped Pearl
Coverstock: 1500 grit Polished VTCâ„¢ Pearl Reactive
Weight Block: Hypedâ„¢ Core (Symmetrical)
This review will be a comparison/review for both the Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid and Roto Grip Hyped Pearl.
First off, like I have said over and over again, it is hard to beat Roto Grip when it comes to this price point and value.
The overall performance at the $119.99 price is hard to beat.
Roto Grip Hyped Pearl
This one landed in my bag instantly. A pearl stronger than my Hustles, less than my 900 Global Zen. Gets down lane easy enough but still gives me a controllable reaction. I still love my Hustles but this ball has taken a lot of the lane time that use to go to my RAP.
If you like your Zen, this is a great step down. If you like your Hyroad Pearl (or similar) but need something a little smoother on the backend, check out the Hyped Pearl!
Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid
Step up from from my old Roto Grip Hustle HSB, one of my favorite light oil Hybrids ever. Strong enough to use on a medium oil house shot but easily adjusted to be useful on lighter patterns.
I took the polish off mine and put it at 2000 grit to get a bigger gap between it and the Hyped Pearl. Even with the polish, the Hybrid was controllable and smooth.

After a long wait, Roto Grip finally added balls to their HP2 line. As usual they definitely exceed expectations in terms of hook in their price point. Just as the MVP line gave great value the Hyped continues that trend with a unique shape.
The Hyped Pearl was a ball I hoped to drill a bit weaker and throw closer to the friction. I opted for a bigger pin buffer and weaker pin placement. The cover however still seemed to be a bit too dynamic off the friction. I felt like because of this i definitely had to play the hold rather than the hook as getting the ball right too soon caused it to really jump in spite of the layout I used.
The Hyped Pearl is an excellent ball for bowlers who are looking for their first reactive ball and is very good on broken down house patterns where you need a ball to not be too aggressive overall but still give you some shape down-lane when you're fight a lot of carry-down.
