The Roto Grip Hustle P/R/O is one of two new HP1 line balls this summer, along with the Hustle S/A/Y. It uses the Stoked coverstock with the Hustle symmetrical core design. The Stoked cover is two parts solid, one part pearl, which is the opposite of the two parts pearl, one part solid Psyched cover that is used on the S/A/Y and Wreck-It. This cover is not quite as clean through the oil as the S/A/Y, as it picks up harder in the midlane and provides more overall hook.
We had just a little better reaction on our medium pattern than we had on our dry. The Stoked cover is strongest in the middle part of the lane, allowing our three testers to attack this pattern from multiple angles.

Strengths: The P/R/O is best on light to medium lengths and volumes. This ball is different enough from the S/A/Y to justify having both in the bag.
Weaknesses: Like the S/A/Y, the P/R/O will struggle on heavy volumes of oil. Its polished cover and weaker core design will also make it difficult to control on fresh medium sport patterns like the one we test on.
Overall Summary: The Hustles replace the Locos in the HP1 line. Roto Grip never released a hybrid-covered Loco, but now we have two different types of hybrid covers with the two Hustles. The P/R/O is a little smoother and offers more total hook than the S/A/Y.
