Roto pushes it a bit.  Storm makes really safe stuff, stuff that's going to be good for a lot of people on a lot of conditions.  Roto goes for a bit more specific reactions.  The Trick isn't something that's going to be great for the average league bowler on the average house shot, but it's the best tournament ball on the market right now.  Both No Rules don't do anything exciting, they're just really solid.  HP2 line is ALL OVER THE PLACE.  Until they discontinued the Hectic and Wrecker, you could literally make a pretty solid "arsenal" just out of that line.  If it was food, Roto would be big flavors, and Storm would be bar food.

A urethane Hustle would be cool. Schlem did say it's a cover nobody has seen... But yeah I wouldn't bet on it.

I don't know what it is but Roto Grip's lineup is consistently one of the most interesting to me.

Well i have always thought that the storm and roto lines fit in between each other myself. 

The brands are not as simple as they used to be though....they're getting quite expanded now lol.

Like the hp2 would fit "typically" in-between storms hot line and thunder line. Then hp3 then master...

Tropical
Hp1
Hot
Hp2
Thunder
Hp3
Master
Hp4
Premier



Not every ball fits this like the wrecker being much stronger than an hp2 ball or thunder even.

I like my Hustle POW (shot 729 out of the box at a tournament), but it is much stronger than advertised. It isn't much of a step down from my Code Black, NRP, Daredevil and Trick. Certainly not a ball down during my summer league. Mine isn't even drilled strong. I still need a true light oil ball or two.

Stop yourself. This is where the line gets blurred on house vs something that shows the true difference between bowling balls. To say there isn't much of a step down from a NRP or a DDT to a Hustle is false and I'd argue reckless to even suggest such a claim.

The Hustle Ink looks like an !Q Tour Solid.

If the Hot Cell is a urethane... whoa. That would be a bold move.

Stronger No Rules isn't a big surprise considering what they did internationally.

Show Off has the No Rules cover? On a HP2 core? Hmm... they were missing a solid in that line, but to go that strong is surprising. But the Hustle Ink should cover the medium-low solid reaction so it fits.

The showoff is the same relationship that the hyper cell and haywire had. HOW is that suprising...they even wrote it on the wall for us...by discontinuing the haywire.

Makes sense now
