I love bowlers mart!! So the 3 stars if for the ball not the company!!!! I just don’t like this ball. Lol it’s literally a artic vibe wrapped in a rainbow cover stock. Feels too plastic’y for me. But to each their own.

When I need a ball that can create shape without overreacting on drier lane conditions, the Roto Grip Hustle Glow has quickly earned its spot in my bag. Featuring the proven Hustle™ Core with an RG of 2.53 and a differential of 0.030, this ball delivers a smooth, controlled motion that excels on light to medium oil conditions. The VTC™ Pearl Reactive coverstock, finished with Reacta Gloss™, allows the Hustle Glow to glide effortlessly through the fronts with a cleaner, more angular move off the friction compared to other Hustles. When stacked against the Hustle X-Ray, M-M, and Hustle Earth, the Glow is clearly the cleanest through the front part of the lane and the most responsive off the dry. It's the perfect complement to the Earth, which reads earlier with its solid cover and 2000 grit finish, making the Glow a great go-to when you need added length and downlane pop as the lanes open up. Whether you're a league bowler or tournament player, the Hustle Glow adds versatility and eye-catching flare to your bag. Go to your local VIP proshop today and get yours!

The Roto Grip has added two more Hustles to this iconic ball line, the Hustle Earth and Glow. The Hustle Glow is a cleaner version of the new Hustles, which features the iconic Hustle Core wrapped in the VTC pearl reactive cover. As a medium to low rev player, this ball is great on light and dry oil patterns. I was able to play right of the track area and the track area in game three of league. The Hustle Glow is more aggressive on the backend of the lane than the Earth, because of the VTC hybrid reactive cover with Power Edge. The Hustle Glow is a must have for league and tournament bowlers. Now available for preorder at your local pro shop! My ball reviews are posted on YouTube channel Stanley Waite.

The Hustle Pearl is brought back again with colors of Mint, Fuchsia and Teal. The VTC Pearl 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 Glow was designed to give an angular motion for light oil conditions.
On the 44ft house pattern I test on, I saw a much cleaner look and much more length compared to the rest of the Roto Grip lineup. On the fresh, it gave me a lot of length and angle which did not make it that ideal for the conditions I saw. This ball would be better as game 3 ball or a step down from the Hustle Earth or Tropical Surge Solid. Compared to the Ultimate wrecker, I saw much more length but with similar angular motion. I would recommend this ball for those bowling on low volumes of oil who need angle, a step down from the Hustle Earth or for low volume tournament conditions. For the price point, you still get a lot of performance out this one. I can see myself using this for tournaments at the end of blocks where I need angle on higher friction lane surfaces or burnt up lane conditions. Due to my ball speed, I will tend to not use this low end of a ball but is an option if I encounter low volume conditions.

The Hustle Glow uses the original hustle core wrapped with the VTC Pearl Coverstock.The Hustle Glow will create good length on mediem to light oil lane conditions.I feel like the Glow will be a great step down from the Ultimate Wrecker and the sanded Hustles.The Hustle Glow will create more length than the Hustle Earth with more backend.I found the Glow to be stronger than the Storm Tropical Surge series balls.

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.

Review:
The Hustle line has always been a favorite of mine. I don’t think I ever had a Hustle I didn’t like. The Hustle balls are a great deal and perform and hit like a much higher priced ball. To me this is a performance line of balls. I am seeing a bit earlier lane read and hook than I got from my Hustle M-M. I think the increase in hook is a combination of fresh cover and a bit of a cover stock upgrade. This ball does not have the A.I. core but still hits very hard. The way the Hustle Glow comes of the pattern with controlled angle and hit are excellent. One of the nice things about the Hustle ball line is they are designed to be forgiving, and you can get away with some less than great releases. The Hustle Glow hooks more than I expected and reads the lane perfectly for me. I would put this ball above my Surge but under my Ultimate Wrecker in total hook. This ball is a very good pick for a new bowler or someone rounding out an arsenal on a budget. The colors are growing on me, but most folks love them. The Hustle Glow colors do attract attention and do look good going down the lane.
Summary:
The Hustle Glow preforms like a much higher priced ball.
The forgiving nature of this ball is a plus.
The Glow color is unique and the comments have been very positive.

The Hustle Glow not only catches the eye of whoever walks by it with its radiant color combination but it also caught my eye with its motion on the lanes. My initial thought this ball would have a little more length and a little more off the backend while still be somewhat smooth. I was right it was smooth downlane but when the ball got to the end it went full hockey stick motion and my eyes almost popped out of my head. The best part was I had a good friend who is a 2 finger no thumb bowler throw my ball and using his thumb in it. He proceeded to go from 20 at the arrows to about 5 and ripped the rack to leave a 9 pin. My eyes almost popped out a second time and all we could do is laugh.

Roto Grip’s new Hustle Glow is a Pearl 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 was clean through the fronts with a sharp backend reaction. I compared this to the Hustle RIP. Hustle RIP was 3-3 more than the Hustle Glow. Hustle RIP was not as clean through the fronts but a more controllable backend reaction than the Hustle Glow. This piece will be good for all types of styles.

Review by Nicholas Hogan on the Hustle GLOW
Great colors, Love the way it rolls, Owns the lanes with style, Watch the pins fly (G.L.O.W) haha
Seriously though, this Hustle is just like all the other great Hustles that Roto Grip has made, gets me out a jam when I need a ball late and you just can’t beat the price for the performance.
For Tournament bowlers this ball is going to be at the end of your bag, and for a bowler in league, this ball will probably be one of the first ones that come out of your bag. Easy to control ball.

The Hustle Glow and Hustle Earth both feature the same reliable Hustle™ core (RG 2.53, Diff 0.030), but their different colors and coverstocks give each ball a distinct reaction on the lanes. The Hustle Earth, with its solid cover and early traction, closely resembles the Hustle Camo in how it reads the lane earlier and offers a smoother, more controlled motion. On the other hand, the Hustle Glow, with its pearl cover, behaves more like the Hustle M&M, providing more length and a sharper backend reaction, ideal for lighter oil conditions.

The Roto Grip Hustle Glow is a bright and versatile ball that works well for bowlers of all skill levels. Beyond its glowing appeal and bright, luminous colors, the Hustle Glow will keep the beginner bowler wanting to come back again week after week. For the seasoned bowler, the Hustle Glow will provide a great alternative to your game when all your strong cover and core combinations are too much to get the job done. The Hustle Glow has a place in virtually any arsenal, so I suggest talking to your local Storm VIP pro shop operator today to see where the Hustle Glow fits into yours. Because the Hustle Glow is an excellent and fun choice!

The new Hustle Glow features the tried-and-true Hustle core wrapped in the VTC Reactive Pearl coverstock finished with Power Edge. 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 Glow does not overreact. It provides great length with a medium-quick response on the backend. The Gow creates a good entry angle into the pocket providing outstanding pin action. If you are looking for a great performance ball at a low price, the Hustle line will not disappoint.
For one the colors on this ball under cosmic lights is AWESOME. 300 out of box with this ball, house shot killer. best pearl on the market for the price.
The Hustle Glow is this year’s Pearl entry into the Hustle line. Every spring, we can count on some refreshes and shuffling in the Hustle line. There’s no need to make any changes, the Hustles have proven themselves to be great on medium to low volume shots. We get updated colors - and WOW what colors these are… Love them or hate them, they’re attention getting!
In the past, I’ve had problems controlling the shinier Hustles, but so far from what I’ve seen with the Glow, it hasn’t been a problem. I’ve primarily thrown it practicing after the leagues are done, so the shot gets pretty beat up. I’m amazed at how controllable the Glow is when it sees friction - it’s a pearl, so it’s going to have back end motion, but somehow they’ve made it controllable - a much smoother motion than I was expecting out of a pearl Hustle.

Roto Grip Hustle Glow
The Hustle Glow – besides being possibly the coolest looking Hustle ever – has that classic skid-flip reaction that SPI products has been known for for years. This ball does not even consider starting to hook before the back part of the midlane, and then it is a strong, angular reaction. I find the reaction shape to be somewhat reminiscent of the IQ Tour AI, with less overall hook. The Hustle Glow is amazing on medium/light lane conditions, though it is definitely too clean in the fronts for any heavier volumes. I find the Glow to be a great step down from either the aforementioned IQ Tour AI, the Road Warrior, or even a ball like the Ultimate Wrecker.
Hustle GLOW - 60 x 4.75 x 20
The Hustle GLOW is a great compliment to the EARTH with its pearl coverstock. Once the EARTH hooks a little too early, and you need something to go a little bit longer and respond later down lane, the GLOW is the ball to go to. It’s simple, and to the point, plus it gets the job done. I’m able to stay in the same zone as I would for the EARTH, and gives a nice clean, yet predictable backend motion. It’s not super quick off the spot, which I like. If you are looking for a ball that will compliment the EARTH, get you the GLOW!

Roto Grip Hustle GLOW
Layout: 3 x 5 x 2 - finished with Power Edge from factory
Hustle core with VTC Pearl coverstock
My updated 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 15/16th up 3/16th. Tested on Pro-lane surface on a 44 ft house pattern with lower volume used for the junior and senior leagues, a 44 ft house pattern with larger volume, and patterns that ranged from 33 ft to 39 ft sport patterns.
Hustle GLOW has a POP of color, the Hustle GLOW a long and very nice strong arc reaction down lane on HPL and Pro-Lane. The roll and reaction is very similar if not identical to the Hustle SAY from a few years ago, the GLOW has a softer angle entering the pocket than the prior Hustle AU, R/P/G, and RAP. but stronger than the HSB, M&M,and Wine versions. The intense colors will be a BIG
seller to the younger bowling peeps and the “young at heart”. The bowlers that like to see the ball change directions with the color changes, will also LOVE this GLOW. No other entry level reactive ball line gives you
the ball motion and hitting power like the Roto Grip Hustle line. Now adding the GLOW and EARTH to the line will give the Hustle line 4 unique looks on the lane and 4 color
choices for those looking for color and performance all wrapped up in one ball. I havenow added both new Hustles
to my league bags, and have removed the XRAY and my
oldie by goodie 900 Global Xponent Pearl. I now have in order in my league bags for the 2 centers I bowl in are: Hustle EARTH, Hustle GLOW, Rock Star w/2 in PAP, Rock Star w/ 5 in PAP, Hyper Drive RST, and 900 Global OriginEX.

Love my R G Hustle Glow. This is my first Roto Grip product and I am pleasantly surprised. As a new bowler, I am still learning the specifics of the game. I don’t find this ball difficult to control down the lane. Prior to purchasing the Hustle my pinfall was not the greatest with last weeks average of 77(yikes).
Thursday night, I stepped my game up in summer league and I averaged 108 for the evening. My first 2 games I used the GB5 and the Hustle for my final game. That may not seem like a lot for the seasoned bowler but for me, it is life changing. I now feel like a bowler. Will continue to improve as a bowler and utilize BowlersMart for all of my bowling needs.

The bowling ball is great , the delivery was prompt. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star experience is after paying $35 dollar international shipping fee . I received a phone call and was told I then needed to pay a $35 dollar duty fee . Which to me $70 dollars to deliver an $109 item is excessive. The disappointment is in not knowing until the day the ball was delivered.

Good ball for beginners. Pretty weak and doesn’t have much hook (might be due to bad drilling). I find myself over adjusting to pretty much a straight bowl by the end of a few games. Fun first ball but lacks a lot of power.
