Roto Grip Hustle M+M Bowling Ball

The all new Hustle M-M features the VTC Pearl Reactive coverstock with the Reacta Gloss finish wrapped around the Hustle Core. This ball will be extremely close to the all new Hustle RIP, the M-M is a little cleaner and a little quicker off the spot compared to the RIP. In my opinion, I would not have both the M-M and the RIP in the same bag, they both fit a similar spot and there would be too much overlap. This ball will be great for people of all abilities and skill levels. Be sure to go out and get yours today!

One of the latest additions to the HP1 line at Roto Grip is the Hustle Magenta & Midnight. The Hustle line has been producing stellar performance for several years now and the Hustle M&M is no different. From the initial look of it, the Hustle is designed for medium-light oil conditions, but I’ve seen it been used on all types of surfaces as well as different forms of patterns. It’s been extremely successful for the players who have a lower rev-rate as well as the guys who like to claw all over the ball and hook a majority of the lane. I’ve drilled one M&M so far and really like it. Whenever I drill balls with medium-to-lower differentials, I make sure to drill them a little stronger to make sure they flare enough. Otherwise, if you drill them too weak, the ball won’t flare enough and likely won’t change direction very much. The layout I used was 4 x 4 x 2. This puts the pin above my middle finger with a stacked CG. I’ve never had a lot of success with shine, so I decided to scratch the coverstock with a 3000 pad by hand to smooth off the shine and create a more predictable motion. Under most circumstances, I use the Hustle on an old lane surface when the front of the lane is toast as well as conditions where the big-cored balls are simply bogging down too much. The M&M is a perfect ball to go to after my Magic Gem, DNA, and Eternity run out of gas. This ball is clean through the front, digs in the mid-lane, and stores plenty of pack to go through the pins properly. If you’re missing a cleaner ball that packs a punch, go drill a Hustle M&M!

Great

PAP 3 11/16 Over 1 up Rev Rate 400 Speed at release 17.5 Review: The Roto Grip Hustle M+M is one of the new Hustle’s for this league season. With the same core and cover as the Hustle wine the biggest difference is in the color. This ball picks up a couple of feet sooner and has a slightly stronger motion compared to the Hustle Wine of last year. This will be a ball that you would want to pull out when the lanes are completely burnt. This ball will be a great step down from the Hyped Pearl creating a similar but weaker motion. This will be good out of box with higher rev bowlers and even the first-time league bowler. Get yours today at your local Storm VIP pro shop.

The Hustle M & M, while still being most at home on medium to medium-dry oil conditions, is the strongest pearl Hustle that Roto Grip has released. This thing has an impressive amount of backend hook for the price point. I have found a good bit of use over the years using the other pearl Hustles (3T.P., P.O.W., R.I.G., R.A.P., S.A.Y., Wine), and they have all been fantastic for house shots when the pattern has broken down. The M & M follows in that tradition, while having a bit more midlane traction. When the DUO starts to be too much, the M & M fits in perfectly. I have found that the M & M is closer to the Hyped Pearl than you might initially suspect, which just shows how good of a deal the M & M is.

I drilled up my HUSTLE RIP 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.5. This is my usual layout for lower diff balls. I hit the surface with a light 2000 to crack the shine and smooth the reaction out. I put the HUSTLE RIP up against the RUBY RED IQ and HUSTLE M & M. The RIP was right in the middle of these two balls. The M & M was later than the RIP but not as sharp as the RUBY IQ was off the spot. The HUSTLE RIP was at home for me on a med to med dry to pattern when my stronger RUBY was locking up. It also was a good compliment to the M & M as they played off one another pretty well. I feel that the HUSTLE RIP will get play as a 2nd ball out of the bag at places with some early friction burn in the fronts and also when the big pearls are starting to lock up and lay flat down lane but the low powered gear is not enough yet.

And each of these new releases brings its own unique qualities to Roto Grip’s HP1 line. So, in this review, we will discuss the Hustle M-M as this Pearl Hustle beauty delivered excellent results. So, let’s take a closer look. The Hustle Core has become a successful industry standard. Since its Introduction in 2017, inside the Hustle INK, the Hustle Core has proven to be a smooth, consistent workhorse. And I found those same results with the M-M. The Hustle Core revs briskly yet maintains a smooth and stable motion as it makes its way to the pocket. And for a medium RG and differential, the Hustle Core has plenty of destructive power through the pin deck. So, don’t let HP1 push you away; the Hustle Core will deliver results for any style or level of bowler. The new VTC (Vertical Traction Control) Pearl coverstock is not only stylish and attractive; it provides a great look for the Hustle M-M. I found the VTC Pearl to roll later than expected, making this Hustle M-M an excellent late-night ball or on dry lane conditions. And being a straighter player, I like to stay in my comfort zone, especially when the lanes break down. So, knowing my higher speed and low rev rate, I sanded my Hustle M-M with 3000-grit Abralon. And the VTC Pearl Coverstock delivered the comfort and stability I depend on. And further, I could count on the VTC to blend the worn conditions while keeping me in my A game. So, for a down-and-in player like me, that kind of stability - speaks volumes. So, in conclusion, whether you are looking for your first full fingertip ball or a seasoned bowler looking to fill that late-night and dry-condition ball to add to your arsenal. I would highly suggest the Hustle M-M for your game. So, stop into your local Storm VIP Pro Shop today and have your Hustle M-M ready for league play tonight, as the M-M will deliver.

The new Hustle M&M (Magenta and Midnight) features the tried-and-true Hustle core wrapped in the VTC Reactive Pearl coverstock. At 15 pounds the RG is 2.53 and the differential is .030. Drilled at 5x4x2 (pin above bridge) this ball is excellent on drier conditions. The pearl cover and low differential make this an easy ball to use when the lanes start to get burned up. I am still able to play further right in the drier part of the lane and the M&M does not overreact. It provides great length with a medium-quick response on the backend. The M&M creates a good entry angle into the pocket providing outstanding pin action. This ball has a similar motion to the Hustle Wine. If you are looking for a great performance ball at a low price, the Hustle line will not disappoint.

The Roto Grip Hustle M&M has a Medium RG value of 2.53 a low differential of 0.030. With the second coming of the Hustle Ink, Roto Grip came out with the Hustle RIP. As the RIP is a solid, the Hustle M&M is the pearl version. As a consumer you may say why a pearl version, well the main reason is so you can go down to something in your bag that has a similar shape just goes a tad bit longer and sharper off the spot on those medium to dry lane conditions. The Hustle M&M features the original Hustle Core with the Versatile Traction Control (VTC) Pearl Reactive Cover. 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. The Hustle INK put the bowling world on notice when it delivered the 34th sanctioned 900 Series in bowling history. From that point on, the Hustle Series has become better known for providing the most "bang for your buck." In comparison to the Roto Grip Hyped Pearl in which has the same coverstock, the Hustle M&M will be a pinch smoother and later off the spot basically due to the core differences. The M&M will offer you a very versatile ball in which you can drill the ball either pin up or pin down to favor the driest of conditions. In the bag, will be the Summit, Xponent, Zen Gold Label and Roto Grip Hustle RIP, Roto Grip Hustle M&M.
