I drilled up my Hustle USA 4.5 x 4 x 3. I have thrown it both at box finish and with 2000 on it. What I notice with the HUSTLE USA is a round shape that is surprisingly strong for what is considered the starting line for Roto Grip. I was able to use this on some medium and short patterns with good recovery when it was time to give the pocket away. Compared to my HUSTLE CAMO, it is a little more down lane motion and really gets thru the front when the CAMO is starting to flatten out. This is another of those low end sleeper balls from Roto Grip that will give performance without breaking your wallet.

Roto Grip Hustle USA: Hustle Core with VTC Hybrid cover stock –
Factory finish is 3000ab, but I changed the surface to match my 2nd Hustle CAMO that is 4k fast. The layout is 50 x 4 x 50.
Currently using it in my scratch doubles league on a 46ft THS that has a BIG cliff on the back of the pattern and not really blended well front to back and side to side. super dry outside of 12 and super heavy conditioner between 16 to 16 across the boards with older HPL lane panels.
I love this Hustle USA, because it outperforms all other Hustles that have been released since the Hustle INK was discontinued on this THS, the CAMO is smoother and not as strong in the backend as the USA, the USA will roll through the heavier part of the pattern without giving up as much energy as the CAMO. The USA still turns the corner from the hook to roll phase of the ball motion. The coloring allows me to read the direction changes on the ball more clearly than the Hustle CAMO and Wine. Even as the carry down starts and we get into later games, the ball does not give up and lose any power and carry. The Hustle USA outperforms balls on the market that are $30 to $80 higher in price.
The team in Utah has won a GOLD medal on this Hustle USA.

Review:
The Hustle Line of balls has a lot of performance at a budget price. The Hustle USA hooks more than I expected and reads the lane pretty early. The Hustle USA creates a very nice controlled arch shape on the lane. Even though the USA rolls early it continues to drive through the pins very well. I put this ball a bit under my Camo (at the same box finish) but above my Hustle Pearl in total hook. The Hustle Line hits as hard as balls that cost much more. This ball would be a great choice for a newer bowler who wants a performance ball at a great price. The colors of the USA look great at box finish but it really looks good polished up. I polished mine and got a better amount of length with more backend motion while still being very controllable. This ball has been selling well at our shop due to the performance, price and color of the ball. The Hustle USA also has excellent hit and carry.

Summary:
The Hustle USA rolls like a higher priced ball.
The motion and hit of this ball is very good.
The Surface of the USA is adjusted easily.
This ball should work well for all styles of bowlers.
