Hustle SOS
SKU: BBMRSJ
The Hustle™ Series was born with one goal: to provide more "overall performance" than any other ball in its class. A decade later, it's a global phenomenon used by first timers and Major Champions alike.
While the core remains the same reliable workhorse that made history, the diversity of the VTC™ (Versatile Traction Control) coverstock line means there is a Hustle for every style of play. It's not about how much you spend; it's about how you Hustle.
For the First-Time Reactive Buyers: Forgiving, predictable, and easy to control.
For the Advanced Players: The ultimate weapon for navigating light-to-medium oil and broken-down patterns.
For Everyone: Outstanding performance that punches WAY above its weight class.

Hustle SOS
Roto Grip Hustle SOS Coverstock: VTC Finish: 4000 Grit Abralon Core: Hustle Core (14pd) RG: 2.55 Diff: 0.030 Layout: 5 ¼ x 4 x 4 - 2LS Layout Extras: 2 1/8 Finger Depth, "X" - 4 1/2 D and 1 Inch Left Tester: PAP 6 1/2 R, 1 1/4 D Review: The hustle series continues on with the Hustle SOS. If you enjoyed previous versions of the hustle(s) or new to the hustle line the Hustle SOS is a great choice for any arsenal. The Hustle SOS will work best on medium to drier THS patterns. Also, this ball can be used at the out-of-box finish and can also do well with surface modifications as needed. The Hustle line of bowling balls are well established and continue to perform well. The solid finish is perfectly fine on the SOS. For me, I generally scuff my equipment with a fresh 4k or 3K by hand just to knock the peaks off the ball from the factory. I always suggest to roll the OOB finish first to see what the lanes are telling you to do. Unfortunately, I did not own the OG of the hustle line, which was the original Ink. However, for my comparison I used the Hustle Wine as a baseline. In doing so, the Hustle SOS hooks slightly sooner and is more controlled than my Hustle Wine. In other words, the SOS will be very forgiving on a wide variety of conditions. From my viewpoint the Hustle SOS will definitely make the starter bag due to the fact this ball has a lot of range for many conditions. Also, for shorter sport patters the SOS will possibly give you a good look where you want control after the lanes break down a bit. One of the hardest transitions in bowling is that move from “thane” to other types of balls. The SOS can be used as a good transition out of thane. The Hustle SOS is a nice addition for any arsenal and you'll likely find a spot in the bag for most medium to dry THS patterns. I truly recommend this one for your THS conditions where you desire to move easy with the transition. It's quickly becoming a nice ball to have in the bag.
