Additional product information:
Since their conception back in 2016, the Hustle Series of bowling balls has provided outstanding performance above and beyond the retail price. From the 34th sanctioned 900 Series by the Hustle™ INK, to countless TV appearances over the years on both the PBA & PWBA Tours. The various versions Hustle's have provided consistent reactions time and time again.
And while the inner Hustle Core has remained the same since day one, it's the different variations of the VTC™ (Versatile Traction Control) Coverstock - Solid, Pearl & Hybrid, that have kept this line viable on those Light to Medium Oil conditions for every level of bowler from the first timers, all the way up to the pros.

Roto Grip Hustle Earth
It's June so it Hustle Release time. The new one is the Hustle Earth. What a cool looking ball with a great shelf appeal. Looks like the planet Earth! I drilled mine 4.5 x 4 x 1.75 and added Storm Power Edge polish. Since they discontinued the Hustle Rip which was a solid, the Earth is the replacement. The Earth has a little slower response time that the Rip off the friction. As the Earth has a more rounded shape overall. I was able to use the Hustle Earth on the 3rd game in league and on the shorter to medium sport patterns. Another great addition to the ever successful Hustle line.

Hustle Earth
Review by Nicholas Hogan on the Hustle Earth One of the dullest Hustles I have ever seen…and I LOVE it! I can throw this ball on the fresh of anything because of the unparalleled performance of the Hustles core. Long Patterns, Short Patterns, House Shot patterns, this ball is just more versatile that I can say enough about it. Not really a late block ball for tournaments, but if you’ve got a little lane shine on this from heavy use, this ball would be able to get you through all three games of league no problem. I definitely thought it was going to be a little lazier down lane because of the dull cover, but on the house shot we tried it on, it had plenty of backend.

Roto Grip Hustle Earth
Drilling pattern: 3 1/2 x 2 5/8 x 3 3/8 Pin position: Below ring finger PAP: 4.5 over x 1 up Due to my little bit slower ball speed and higher rev rate, I've always been a HUGE fan of the HUSTLE series. This is my 4th or 5th iteration of the HUSTLE that I've drilled and I've loved every single one of them. However, my favorite of them all has been the HUSTLE CAMO. I drilled the HUSTLE EARTH with a copy of the drilling from my HUSTLE CAMO but looking for just a little earlier roll and little rounder shape and that is essentially what I got. The HUSTLE EARTH comes with a duller cover stock which grabs the late earlier and is tamer down lane. I tested this ball on the 37' PBA Bat pattern and was able to play significantly further right than some of my other equipment. The ball gave me a nice read of the mid lane and a very tame and round shape off the end of the pattern. I can see this ball, along with most in the HUSTLE series, as a fantastic option for drier house patterns, shorter sport shots, or really anyone looking for fantastic performance at a lower price point.

Review
Hustle Earth (Solid)/Glow (Pearl): For the lower performance/weaker bowling ball options, the Hustles are a great tandem to go to. The Earth, which is the solid version, will provide a smoother earlier reaction whereas the Glow (pearl) will provide more angle down lane. I drilled the Earth pin down to amplify the controllable nature of the ball and play more up the lane and closer to the track area. As the lanes develop, I would be able to transition to the Glow and open my angles up. I typically do not go this weak in league or tournaments, as I usually stop along the HP2 line of performance, as I still need more performance given my lower rev rate. If I know I will be bowling on very early beat up lane surfaces I would bring one of these balls. If your someone who prefers a lot of control and keeping angles closer to the track this ball would be good for you.

Hustle Earth
Hustle Earth - Ball Specs Cover Stock: VTC Solid Reactive Finish: 2000 Grit Abralon Color: Sea/Greenery/Dirt Core: Hustle Core RG: 2.53 Differential: 0.030 Review The Roto Grip has added two more Hustles to this iconic ball line, the Hustle Earth and Glow. The Hustle Earth is the stronger of the new Hustles, which features the iconic Hustle Core wrapped in the VTC solid reactive cover. As a medium to low rev player, this ball is great on medium to light oil patterns. There will be no issues playing in the track area and up the five board. The Hustle Earth reads the lanes a little earlier than the Hustle Glow. The Hustle Earth is a must have for league and tournament bowlers. Now available for preorder at your local pro shop!

Hustle EARTH Review by Kyle, Joel, & Dean Johnson
Ball Specs: Roto Grip Hustle EARTH Cover: 2000 Grit VTC™ Solid Reactive Core: Hustle™ (Symmetrical) Color: Sea/Greenery/Dirt 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. Our style: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 5x4x2 (pin is above bridge). For the seasoned veterans you can expect an extremely versatile lower end solid, 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. This ball has major shelf appeal and will look great in your bag!

Hustle Earth Review
Layout: 4 1/2 x 3 x 2 Surface: 2000 Abralon Rev Rate: 470 RPM Tilt: 13* The Hustle Solid is brought back again with colors of the Earth. The VTC Solid coverstock is used again on top of the Hustle Core. The core has a 2.53 RG and 0.030 differential in 15 pounds. The Hustle Earth was designed to give a traction ball reaction for medium to light oil at the lowest price point. This ball would be great for a beginner looking to get their first reactive ball to a professional bowler looking for a different look on higher friction oil patterns. On the 44ft house pattern I test on, I saw a relatively clean look compared to the rest of the Roto Grip lineup but with decent traction in the midlane. On the fresh, it actually read the lane overall well which would give it an option for me for early in my league setting. Compared to the Ultimate wrecker, I saw similar length but much slower reaction speed and smoother overall motion. Compared to the Hustle Glow, I saw earlier ball motion and smoother ball reaction down the lane. I can recommend this ball for a lot of different styles due to its versatility on low volumes of oil. For the price point, you get a lot of performance out this one. I can see myself using this for tournaments at the end of blocks where I need length and smooth midlane roll or on the fresh of house patterns as well as some lower volume sport patterns.

Hustle Earth Review
The Hustle Earth is the newest addition to the Roto Grip Hustle Line that has been a major success on the lanes over the years. This ball is designed as a solid version, along with the Hustle Core and VTC (Versatile Traction Control) cover stock found in every solid, pearl, hybrid Hustles. It has given bowlers consistent ball reactions over and over on those light/medium lane conditions. The new Earth colors are also refreshing as they combine with sea, grass greenage, and dirt. Ball layout: 60 x 4 ½ x 30, same as my Hustle X-Ray for comparison. Tested at my home center of Hudson Lanes and Games in Cortlandt Manor, NY, on their 42ft low mL volume league pattern, I decided to open up the transition first, so I can receive more room for error. While both balls have a smooth finish, the Hustle Earth tends to read the lanes a pinch earlier than the X-Ray. Versatility and smoothness once again show its consistency with this ball. Not so much of a differential but it provides great performance results, especially contesting on higher friction lane surfaces/older panels. I’ve been a huge fan of the Hustle Line and it’s a great addition to your bag, along with a low-end price you can refuse! Be sure to stop by your local pro shop today and drill up a Hustle Earth!

Cover: VTC Solid Reactive Core: Hustle RG: 2.53 RG. Diff.: 0.030 Finish: 2000-Grit Abralon Roto Grip’s new Hustle Earth is a Solid Symmetrical piece that is good for Medium-Light Volume patterns. PAP is 5 5/16 R 1 3/16 Up. Rev Rate: 400. Speed: 16.5. Drilled this piece with the Pin up between the fingers and CG kicked out 1” from the palm. I threw this piece on a Fresh 43’ House pattern. Out of Box ball motion started in the mids with a Smooth to forward motion on the backend. Similar Shape to the Hustle X-Ray. I compared this piece to the Hustle RIP. Hustle RIP is 3-4 more all around with a more continuous backend. This piece fits between the Hustle RIP and the Hustle Glow. This piece will be good for all types of styles.
