Roto Grip Hustle XRAY

Roto Grip Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY
Layout: 4.0 x 4.0 x 2 Storm Pin Buffer Layout
Rev Rate: 325 rpm, 7 degree of axis tilt, 40 degree of axis rotation
Testing information: 41 foot THS (medium to light volume)
Bowling Center: Fulton Bowling Center
Kegel Machine – Brunswick Anvilane

Roto Grip’s Hustle BRY utilizes the VTC Hybrid coverstock and the Hustle core, while the Hustle XRAY uses the VTC Solid coverstock and Hustle core.

Can you say Value?  Value is when the performance beats the expectations.  This is what you get with the Hustle line.  The Hustle BRY and Hustle XRAY, the newest entries into the HP1 line, are the definition of value.  Both have their place.  The Hustle XRAY is earlier and smoother down lane where the Hustle BRY is cleaner in the fronts and more boom down lane.  Pick the one that fits the gap in your bag or buy both. Lol.  If you bowl in a high friction bowling center, the BRY is probably the best answer.  The XRAY will be the better choice for bowlers wanting to keep their target in front of them and play straighter.

The Hustle X-Ray features the same Hustle core, but this model comes wrapped in the VTC solid reactive coverstock finished at 4000 grit abralon.  At 15 pounds the RG is medium at 2.53 and the differential is .030.  The Hustle line continues to provide bowlers with excellent performance at the entry level price point.  Don’t let the price tag fool you…this ball delivers a lot of bang for your buck!  The X-Ray with it’s solid coverstock and finish, provides good length but the response time is on the slow side and the backend motion is an arc.  All of this allows me to keep my angles closed while playing close to the friction.  When compared to the Hustle BRY, the X-Ray is about 2 -3 boards right with my feet.  This ball will be one of my go to balls on the lighter and shorter oil patterns.

Review:
I really like the Hustle series and my customers are always happy with this line of balls. I recommend and use the Hustles myself with confidence. The Hustle line rolls and hits like a much more expensive ball. I use the Hustles in two of the dryer houses I sometimes bowl at and have shot very well with them. I am subbing tonight on a lower volume house shot and the X-Ray will be definitely in the bag. The Hustle line was designed to be predictable with great performance and they do not disappoint. The New Hustle X-Ray is a cool looking ball and I have seen the colors vary quite a bit in the pours. My X-Ray is almost completely dark grey but I have seen some with a lot of light grey. They all look great and standout on the shelf. The X-Ray rolls smoother than my B-R-Y with the B-R-Y being a bit longer and more angular. I do like the 4000 finish on the X-Ray because it gets it to a predicable almost polished feel. I drilled the B-R-Y and X-Ray at the same time with the same layout and threw them at a few centers together.  The total boards are close but the shapes are different. I would put this ball above my Surge and below my Tour Dynamix in total hook. This X-Ray has an eye catching new look and is a great choice for newer bowlers or the rev dominate bowler.

Summary:
The Hustle X-Ray has a cool new eye catching color.
This ball provides control on lower volumes.
This will be a great ball for new or rev dominate bowlers.
