The Roto Grip hyped UP! takes everything bowlers loved about the original Hyped series and gives it more muscle where it matters. While the familiar core shape remains, Roto Grip completely re-engineered its density to create a lower RG and higher differential, producing an earlier, stronger, and more reliable overall motion. The result is a ball that bridges the gap between the HP1 Hustle series and the stronger HP3 lineup, delivering pro-level performance at an exceptional value.

Wrapped around the redesigned core is the new V-R1 Hybrid Reactive coverstock, a blend of two of Roto Grip's most successful cover formulations. Combining the traction of the legendary Transformer Solid with the backend motion of the Gremlin Pearl creates a reaction that clears the front of the lane with ease before producing a smooth, continuous move through the pins. This balanced reaction makes the hyped UP! an excellent choice for bowlers who want versatility without sacrificing predictability.

Whether you're looking for a reliable benchmark ball on medium oil or a step up from the Hustle series as lane conditions become more demanding, the hyped UP! delivers the ideal balance of control, continuation, and versatility. It creates earlier motion than the Hustle line without the aggressive early read typically found in HP3 equipment, making it one of the most versatile pieces in the HP2 category.

Core

hyped UP! Core - While maintaining the familiar shape of the original Hyped core, Roto Grip refined its density to lower the RG and increase the differential.
