Layout 50x4x25 rev rate 275 ball speed 14 mph PAP 4 ½ right and 1 up
My intention when drilling the BPR was to replace my older Hy-Road Solid I've had for a while, it was basically my benchmark piece for the burn. I keep my BPR at 5k no polish and it is a friction lover! Anytime I am bowling a tournament more than 3 games this ball is lurking in my bag ready to step up. I usually step down from my IQ Tour Solid or my Idol Pro when they are to much through the heads. The solid VTC cove rstock is meant for more control and that is exactly what we get just like the IQ Tour and Idol Pro but less overall hook.

Review:
The Hustle Line of balls has a lot of controlled power at a budget price. The Hustle PBR will not be a hook monster like a UFO or Rubicon but it is about the same as my Wild Streak in total boards. The Hustle PRB creates a very nice controlled shape on the lane when the new MVP Attitude may be giving you a bit more on the back end than you need. This ball will fit between my MVP Attitude and Pitch Purple in my line up. The core and cover create a very predictable motion which is nice on lanes that are wet dry or have stripped back ends. I really like this PBR much more than the Ink.  The Hustle PBR hits as hard as balls that cost much more. The color blend of the ball has very nice shelf appeal also. The Hustle line is a great option for bowlers who want more punch than an entry level reactive ball or tournament bowlers building a complete arsenal. I have already seen the PBR being used on some PBA telecasts. This tells me the folks that bowl for a paycheck trust this ball to do the job. The PBR should be very versatile for all styles of bowers.

Summary:
The Hustle PBR rolls like a higher priced ball.
The control and hit of this ball are very good..
The PRB can be a nice addition to round out an arsenal.
This ball should work well for all styles of bowlers.

I drilled my HUSTLE PBR with my normal go to layout of 55 x 4.5 x 35. I left it box surface of 3000 abr.

The HUSTLE PBR is the typical Roto Grip "Big bang for less bucks" type release. The Hustle line is typically marketed as a low end piece for the slow ball speed or newer bowler. But there is a lot of value to an experienced player looking for something that still has some teeth to it but is a nice step down from the high and medium end balls.

I put my HUSTLE PBR up against my IQ TOUR PEARL and IQ TOUR SOLID. The IQ's both revved up much earlier with the PEARL being very early and a whole zone or two left of the PBR, but the SOLID was not too much more down lane than the PBR. In fact with a little more surface on the IQ TOUR SOLID to separate it from the PBR, having both is a good idea for arsenal building.

Put this one if your bag if you have some surface or pattern friction and your big guns are too much bowling ball for the house or lane pattern.

The Hustle PBR is a ball that compliments the other Hustles and gives you the control and smooth shape like the Hustle line has.  This ball has a very strong movement to the pocket with this VTC-S20 Coverstock.  I drilled mine 45 x 5 x 65 and this is my weaker smoother layout.  This ball definitely gives me the control that I am looking for when I am playing up the outside.  With this layout the ball doesn’t flare a lot, and this ball doesn’t flare a lot in general, which gives it the control you are looking for.  As for all the Hustles consistency and control play a huge factor.  I find this ball is more effective on light to medium oil patterns.  If you have a rev rate over 400 you will like this ball to blend out the pattern and give you that smooth controlled look.  Pretty much any layout will work in this ball and give you what you are looking for. You wont be disappointed.

Factory Finish: 3000 grit

2 new Hustle's and this review will cover them....along with where they fit in with my other Hustle's.

The Hustle PBR is the strongest Hustle to date and once again has packed a lot of performance in a low price point ball.

If you couldn't see the Hustle logo on the ball, you would probably assume this is, at least, an HP2 line ball. So much ball for the price!!!!!!

The PBR is a light oil and/or house shot killer. Great combo of strength and control. I can attack our house shot from a few different angles, which is impressive for a ball that you can order for under $100 (Drilled in my shop for $125).

I drilled mine 65x4x35, my go to layout.

My current Hustle-only arsenal looks like this:

PRB--midlane/strongest of the bunch/smooth

HSB---early/smooth

RAP---longest/most angle of the group

Building on its success and amazing value, the Hustle line has another winner with the PBR! The PBR has a new solid cover but the same great core which makes this the slowest response Hustle to date. As someone who likes to use slow response solid balls on house shots this is my house shot killer! I drilled mine 2” from my PAP with a 1” pin buffer. It’s nice and smooth but the solid cover still picks up early to read the pattern correctly.
If you are looking for a slightly weaker benchmark solid ball, you will not find a better value than the Hustle PBR!

The Hustle PBR has the new VTC-S20 coverstock wrapped around the popular Hustle Core. The new sanded coverstock gives a new look in the Hustle line. This ball has the versatility to be great on house shots where you have lighter oil volumes or a lot of backend. This ball is also great on medium to short oil sport patterns. The same great Hustle look and price with another option.
