what balls in the storm umbrella does the hustle ink compare too.

I had a storm heat? I don't remember the name, low end ball. it was a great ball for me on THS first and second shift. I had to polish the solid cover and it was a ball I used for 2 seasons. My low tilt, average AR made medium ball for THS read early.

At this new house/location, I'm seeing a similar pattern and surface as the old house I've bowled in, just longer. And since the HI comes in "solid polish" oob, lower entry, big core compared to the breezes.... I thought this could be the ball I'm looking for after all. I bowl fist and second shift at this house and needing a versatile ball.

But I'm not familiar with balls in the roto grip line. In fact, I haven't been following ball companies and new releases at all. My bag is mix and over lapping, but owning a spinner is helpful - but I'm lazy.

IQ Tour, and in a weaker way, the Hyroad.

In my opinion, the ink rolls like I expected my hyroad too. My hyroad is too jumpy off the dry. Iit turned into an over/under machine unless I keep it dull, which in turn made it useless for the purpose I was hoping it would serve.

The INK is strong on the back without being unpredictable, even recovering if I tug it into the oil some (which is usually an issue for me when mixing my ball speed with low end balls). I can leave polish on it and use it on fresh house shots and broken down house shots, though I like it more on the break down.

I had a Hustle PRO and hated it, but my Hustle INK with the same layout has been money. I've thrown it in 6 games of league (out of 9) so far this year, and I've had 2 300s already with the INK. I really really like it.

This ball is really good. I think it's a bit cleaner than the Huste PRO, but continues downlane better while still having predictability.

OP, I think it would fit what you're looking for very well.

I got an INK and had to knock off the polish with 4000 abralon. Reads better without the polish for me, but I haven't had time to practice at all the last couple of weeks. It's definitely above my Storm Ride, which is my go-to ball at the moment.

the only way to find out is to buy the HI and see out it rolls...... thanks for the info fellas

Tropical Heat came in hybrid and pearl versions. The black and purple looked more solid. The Hot line from Storm would be similar to the Hustle line from Roto Grip.

Hustle Ink is one of the best balls of the decade. I drilled another one with a 4" pin and took it to 2000 for a tournament this past weekend and it rolled even better than the first one that I drilled that I was in love with. This is in that very small list of balls I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone, ESPECIALLY for the price. There are a lot of balls I could live without if they got discontinued, this one isn't one of them. If and when it happens, I'm buying 2 cases.

And you were hesitant... Look at you now!

Because the 4 Hustles they made before it were garbage lol. Hey, I take the honesty thing as seriously as possible. I was honestly wrong as hell on this one and am really enjoying being wrong, really good ball I'm glad everyone didn't let me miss.

Not even interested in the Hustle POW? I've seen a lot of people score with that one.

How would this ball compare to a Lights Out, which is one of my favorites.....

I don't see how someone can love the INK and hate the other Hustles. My POW and INK are more similar than different. They just differ slightly in shape. At box finish, the INK actually went longer than the POW. I now have the INK at 4000 dull and took my POW to 4000 with polish. The INK is now earlier, but still far snappier than advertised. The POW is now longer, but even quicker off the spot.

Bottom line, the Hustle line is not for light oil. Certainly not for burn. Good balls, but Roto Grip needs to come out with some weaker balls still.

That's what we all have been saying; Please cut back on ' Stronger than advertised'
