Roto Grip hyped Up! Bowling Ball

Hyped Up! is a great addition to the HP2 line! With a medium diff and medium RG, this ball brings back the classic Hyped shape in a stronger A.I. version with the same cover as the Gremlin Tour X. The result is a clean, smooth, predictable shape in a medium package that fits right in the middle of the bag. This ball has been great as a step down from bigger symmetricals like the Bionic, when I need something cleaner and weaker but not dead clean and sharp. Hyped Up! is great ball for medium league conditions and a great mid-strength anchor for anyone's bag. You won't want to miss this one!

Orientation: Right Handed Rev Rate: 400 RPM Speed: 16-17 MPH PAP: 4 1/8 over and 1 up Location: Enterprise Park Lanes, Springfield MO Pattern: High Volume THS VLS Layout: Layout 1: 4 3/8 x 4 x 2 1/8 (Pin above bridge) Layout 2: 4 x 4 x 3 7/8 (pin below bridge) Strength Rating (out of 10) : 5 Shape: Medium Sharp Best Use: Transition/Light Oil The Hyped Up is a reboot of the Hyped series. The core has been modified with a lower RG and high differential to get the ball more useable on more conditions! The Hyped Up feels more like a baby IQ Tour type ball with more tip downlane. The Hyped Up has the VTC hybrid cover which is plenty clean but responds quite a bit downlane. I always have to be careful throwing Hustles or Surges on too much oil because they have a tendency to overshoot the breakpoint, but with the Hyped Up I can be confident I can go to it a little bit earlier because the core is stronger and flares more. The Hyped Up bridges the low end balls and the high end balls. It’s a piece we’ve been missing for a long time!

I got to throw the Roto Grip Hyped Up 4x4 1/2x2 on a burnt up house shot. This is a symmetrical hybrid and I was actually surprised how clean it gets through the fronts and how responsive it is to the friction but still blendy enough. This is definitely a ball I think I will be able to throw on house shots or on patterns with less volume or just later in blocks when the lanes get toasty. This ball definitely has its place in everyone's bag as we all need something for the burn. Get yours today at your local Storm VIP Pro Shop #squadrg #stormnation

The Hyped Up from Roto Grip is one of the newest additions to the HP2 line and it packs a punch! If you drilled any of the Hyped balls previously, you may remember a shape that was cleaner than the High Performance balls, but still stronger than the higher RG balls (like a Hustle for example). The wizards in Utah fine-tuned the core by lowering the RG and increasing the differential (that means the ball should see the lane a little sooner than before as well as flare a bit more). I’ve drilled one so far and really like it. I’ve drilled it with the pin above my bridge and a small shift of the CG. This provides the following numbers (5 x 4.5 x 3). Our house shot tends to hook a good amount, so I’ve had a lot of success on lanes that provide a bit of friction and is a perfect ball to use after my Equniox Solid and Alpha Crux have done their jobs. Also, I’ve left the surface alone out of the box (4000). If you need a mid-priced ball that can compliment the high performance balls extremely well and provide a perfect ball to use when there’s friction to use, I’d be drilling the Hyped Up!

Roto Grip Hyped UP! Coverstock: VR-1™ Hybrid Reactive 4000 Grit Abralon Weight Block: Hyped UP™ Core (Symmetrical) Color: Black/Black Pearl Review: We were sad to see the Hyped line fade away but are so glad that they have revamped it to make it even better while still maintaining an affordable price. This bowling ball features a boosted up and more dense core than the past Hyped series bowling balls and is wrapped with the VR-1 Hybrid cover. This cover is going to read a little earlier while still maintaining the continuous down lane motion we all love. We drilled this ball with our normal layout: tweener, 350-375 revs, 16.5mph, layout of choice is 5x4x2 (pin is above bridge). 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 or hybrid balls today have. The continuation is also amazing for a mid level piece. One thing to note that this cover is very user friendly when changing surfaces which makes it a great piece to have in your sport shot arsenal.

The layout on this is 4 1/2 x 4 7/8 x 2 1/4. All I can say is that this is a ball that fits my game; it’s picks up in the midlane with great continuation through the pins. This is a great ball for bowlers that want a step up from the Hustles. This ball is absolutely amazing when it comes ball motion; such predictability in a ball that I can take and bowl with on everything! The Hyped Up! will be great to use in league or on medium oil patterns, and you can’t beat the price for it. If you were a fan of the Hyped series, you will enjoy this Hyped Up!

Roto Grip Hyped Up Review Layout - 4 1/4 x 3 3/4 x 1 1/2 VLS SPI SAYS: The **Roto Grip Hyped Up** continues to prove why the HP2 line has been one of the most versatile benchmark options in the Roto Grip lineup. Featuring the VTC™ Hybrid coverstock wrapped around the Hyped core, this ball creates an outstanding blend of length through the front of the lane while maintaining a strong, continuous motion off the breakpoint. With my game—**300 RPM, 16 mph ball speed, 16° axis tilt, 73.5° axis rotation, and a 5¼" × 7/8" up PAP**—the Hyped Up is exactly what I want on a fresh **41-foot house shot**. My higher axis rotation naturally creates plenty of angle, and the Hyped Up gives me the confidence to open the lane without worrying about the ball overreacting to the friction. On the transition I was able to start around 22–24 at the arrows sending the ball to **8–10 at the breakpoint**. The VTC Hybrid cover cleared the heads effortlessly while providing a smooth, readable transition through the midlane. Rather than making a violent move when it encountered friction, the Hyped Up produced a strong but controlled change of direction that continued through the pins. As the lane transitioned and the fronts began to hook, this ball really came into its own. I simply migrated a few boards left with my feet and target, and the Hyped Up continued to create excellent entry angle without sacrificing continuation. The core stores enough energy to keep the pins low, while the cover blends wet/dry conditions better than many cleaner pearlized options. For my release, the Hyped Up fits perfectly between a true benchmark solid and a skid-flip pearl. It offers more down-lane motion than stronger benchmark solids while remaining significantly more predictable than angular pearls that can become inconsistent on typical house conditions. That combination makes it one of the easiest balls in the bag to match up with league conditions. **Who should consider the Hyped Up?** * Medium-speed players looking for an easy-to-read benchmark reaction. * Rev-dominant bowlers needing a cleaner option after stronger asymmetrics. * Speed-dominant players wanting more midlane than most pearl bowling balls. * League bowlers searching for one ball that performs from game one through transition. For my style, the Roto Grip Hyped Up is one of those pieces that never feels out of place. On a typical 41-foot house shot, it provides effortless length, a smooth and predictable midlane, and a continuous backend motion that keeps striking as the lanes evolve. It excels when stronger equipment starts reading too early but still offers enough traction to be trusted on the transition. **Final Verdict:** The Hyped Up is the definition of a dependable league ball. For my specifications on a 41-foot house shot, it's a piece I can start with, stay with through transition, and rely on when I need predictable motion and excellent carry. Every arsenal needs a ball that simply matches up, and the Hyped Up fills that role exceptionally well. #SquadRG #stormnation #stikingworldwide

The Hyped Up is Roto Grips newest HP2 release. The Hyped Up had a tweak in core density to allow for a boost in differential and a decrease in RG. The Hyped Up is also wrapped in V-R1 Hybrid. The Hyped Up is the perfect step down for when your Gremlin Tour-X starts to straighten out too quickly but balls in the Hustle line would be too quick. The Hyped Up is now available from any Storm VIP Pro Shop! Review Video: https://youtu.be/oZL7WXa5-_k?si=gJNYCOGRj0dEqsf6

Roto Grip Hyped Up! Core and cover combo: Hyped Up! Core with V-R1 hybrid coverstock Factory finish is 4000 grit. Layout: 3 x 5 ½ x 1 ½. My Specs: Rev rate 420’s, ball speed 15.3 to 15.8 mph off the hand, axis tilt of 16 degrees and axis rotation of 70 degrees, PAP is 3 13/16th up 1/8th. Tested on Pro-lane and HPL lane surfaces on a 43ft medium volume house pattern and 44ft heavier volume house pattern. Let’s get HYPED UP! Bowlers!!! The Roto Grip HP2 line has been updated with the Hyped UP! Based on the popular Hyped core from a few years ago, side note: The Hyped Hybrid is second all-time favorite ball, the core density has been enhanced but the shape of the core has stayed the same, giving the ball shape a little bit earlier than in the past, but stronger than the Hustle core, but less aggressive than the cores in the HP3 line from Roto Grip. Starting off with the layout I picked, the 3 x 5 ½ x 1 ½, longer in length and a smidge stronger than my RockStar and Viking Conquest layouts, the 2 x 6 x 1. Fitting right between those 2 balls is what I was looking for to be added into my fall league bags, since I will be bowling in at least 3 different centers with 3 different lane panels and lane machine, I need to cover all my bases with 6 balls. Recently when the Rockstars were not quite strong enough, I either went to the Storm Monsoon or Rocket A.I. sanded to 3000 grit to give me that little extra kick I needed in the back ends. I would have to watch my speed more so with the Rocket A.I. because a little too much speed would cause it not react quick enough down lane and the Monsoon would be a little less angle leaving more flat corner pins. The Hyped Up! is giving the perfect look between those 2 balls. It's steady and reliable, and has been used on 3 different lane surfaces and a variety of house patterns and it has worked extremely well for me, and that is why I am HYPED UP! for this new HP2 ball. My current travel bags will consist of: Rockstar, Hyped Up!, Viking Conquest, Gremlin Tour-X, Wicked Gremlin, and either the Platinum Mix or the new Cosmos spare ball - depending on my mood. Stop by your local pro shop to see what the all new Hyped UP! is about along with the other new and upcoming releases from 900 Global, Roto Grip, and Storm Bowling. #SquadRG #3GShoes #ViseInserts #Coolwick #BowlersSupply #ABCNorthLanesAndLounge

The new Roto Grip Hyped Up features a new Hyped Up! core with the V-R1 hybrid reactive coverstock finished at 4000 grit abralon. At 15 pounds this ball has an RG of 2.50 and a differential of .042. I drilled the Hyped UP! at 5x5x2 putting the pin above my bridge. When compared to my Hyped solid, the Hyped UP! is about 2 boards stronger with a more continuous backend motion. For me the Hyped Up! is good for those wet/dry conditions when I want to keep my angles closed and play just inside of the high friction area. The Hyped Up! doesn’t handle heavier volumes of oil well, but that’s not surprising and not what this ball is designed for. It does provide plenty of traction on medium conditions and very good predictability. The Hyped Up! is a step up from the Hustle line so if you want a ball that won’t break the bank but still gives you a lot of play and bang for your buck, this ball is for you.
