Roto Grip wants to get you hyped up with this mid-performance bowling ball! The Roto Grip Hyped Hybrid introduces the Hyped core which features a low RG. This core allows the ball to offer more overall motion than Roto Grip's entry-level balls but a little less than their upper-mid performance bowling balls. The coverstock on the Hyped Hybrid is the VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Hybrid Coverstock which provides durability and consistency on medium oil conditions.

Holy cow this ball is good!  Over the past couple of years this is a performance category we have been missing.  For me the Hyped balls are replacing the HyRoad balls in my bag.  Those balls are a little round off of the friction for my ball speed/rev rate/ ball roll combo.  These match up much better when I need to shape it!  For most people this will be stronger than Electrify and Burner but not quite as strong as Trend 2 or UC2.  This ball is the perfect league ball!  Pre-order yours today!

Comments
The Hyped Hybrid has an earlier roll than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. This will allow you to throw it in multiple parts of the lane, as I showed in my YouTube ball review. You can play to the right with it because of this balls controllable motion, but I struck more with it as I moved left into the oil. I compared the Hyped Hybrid with the Trend 2, and the Trend 2 was cleaner and a bit more angular. The Hyped Hybrid has the same numbers as the Hyped Pearl, just wrapped in a stronger cover. If you are using it for heavier oil conditions, a slight surface adjustment might help you. Once you move too far left with this ball and need better angle, the Hyped Pearl will be the perfect step down.

Absolutely love the Hyped Pearl. It's clean, angular and on the weaker side of the spectrum. When the lanes are deep into transition and you need a ball that will clear the fronts and reserve energy down lane the Hyped Pearl is a great option. Also, the Hyped line will work well on those higher friction surfaces. The hybrid version is smoother and more forward compared agains the pearl.

The Hyped Hybrid is the newest addition to Roto Grips HP2 line. The Hyped Core combined with the Versatile Traction Control (VTC) coverstock, is a great combination. This ball impressed me right out of the box with its reaction. This ball was much more than I expected, as it got through the heads easily, picked up sooner in the mid-lane, much sooner than I expected, and still had a huge backend reaction. For me this is just a slight step down from my Dark Code, when the dark code wants to pick up a little soon, I go to the Hyped Hybrid and can stay in the same part of the lane. This is by far one of the best bangs for your buck out there. 

The Hyped Hybrid is one of two in a new line for the HP2 category, and features the VTC Hybrid cover, and the new Hyped core coming in at a 2.52 RG and .036 differential.  The core numbers are a very unique combination, differentials are very seldom seen in the upper .030s, and the overall reaction is somewhat heavy rolling but not quite chuggy.  It’s also not very quick revving, which gives it a very methodical continuous reaction, it reminds me a lot of the MVP Pearl and Wrecker going back a bit further.  It has a firm climbing motion on the backend and plays well from multiple angles.  The Hyped Hybrid should be a perfect choice either to start a league set out with or as a step down later in the set or block at a tournament, and is a little earlier and smoother than the Pearl

I feel people are underestimating the real HYPE of this ball. I know a lot of new equipment has been coming out lately and the Hyped Hybrid is getting pushed to the back. Let me tell you what I been having trouble lately, the fact I am always moving left. Like every game or even two times in one game. This ball keeps me playing in the area or line that I am comfortable with. Keeps me in play longer than any other ball I have in my bag. This means a lot less adjustments which leads to competing better or more consistent than others.

The all-new Hyped Series from Roto Grip has hit a new mark of success in their HP2 lineup. With the all-new Hyped Core wrapped with the proven VTC (Versatile Traction Control) Hybrid or Pearl Coverstocks, this new SP2 line delivers fantastic results at a moderate price. I was genuinely impressed with the Hyped line, so let’s take a closer look at how the Hyped Hybrid handled a THS.

Roto Grip has done an outstanding job with its development of the all-new Hyped Core. From the start of a typical league night of bowling, the Hyped Core was smooth and consistent. Being a higher-speed and low-rev player, I liked how this core provided a more predictable, well-rounded motion I could depend on for the entire evening! Further, I liked how the Hyped Core, being a low RG or “centered heavy” ball, delivered a strong rolling motion but retained its energy for an explosive impact at the pins. Even when you miss right and pray it gets to the pocket, the Hyped Core delivered results like that of a high-performance ball. So, it’s safe to say the Hyped Core produced what Roto-Grip wanted to achieve - a medium flare or moderate hooking ball with the ideal ball motion!

Hybrid coverstocks are a great option on a THS for straighter players, and The VTC Hybrid cover is an excellent choice! Starting on fresh oil, looking straight up the second arrow, I like how this Hybrid cover read early and maintained solid traction in the mid-lane. As the night progressed, the VTC Hybrid continued with a clean and well-blended motion as I started to play inside. And as I moved my eyes to look at 16 - 17, the 1500-grit polished surface handled my high-speed/low-rev hand quite easily. I also enjoyed the confidence I got from the well-defined motion of the VTC Hybrid cover, even as the conditions started to break down. So, for a straighter player, this cover is well suited for your game on a THS.

In conclusion, the Hyped Hybrid is an excellent choice for low-rev/high-speed players on a THS. With its brilliant purple/pink combination, the Hyped Hybrid brings a welcoming look and motion to your game at a low to moderate price. It is an excellent all-around choice for league bowlers! It also fits perfectly between the HP3 line, like the Rubicon, and the HP1 line, like the Hustle Wine. So, talk to your local pro shop operator today about the Hyped Hybrid. You will be glad you did!
