Roto Grip Bowling Balls New Releases for 2022 will be similar to my previous lists. I will add all the newest balls Roto Grip produces for 2022 as soon as they are announced. I like to give a brief description and some details of what the latest reviews have to say about each bowling ball.
Hopefully, you will be able to get an idea of how the ball is going to perform. I will include a video whenever possible. I know I like to see what kind of shape the ball has and how hard it hooks.
Roto Grip has delivered some of my favorite balls over the years and I expect them to deliver the same great results in 2022.

Roto Grip Hyped Solid – Released 8/19/22 – FREE SHIPPING
Meet the newest addition to Roto Grip’s HP2 performance range. The “Hyped” symmetric core of the Hyped offers slightly more motion than the Hustles but not nearly as much motion as the HP3 line. The ideal “in-between” situation.
This ball, which is finished at 3000-Grit and is wrapped in the VTC solid reactive coverstock, will offer a clear, reliable read in a variety of medium-conditions.
Here is what Roto Grip has to say about Hyped Solid:
Following the footsteps of the versions before it, the HYPED SOLID is here to compliment the HP2 Line of balls. Its VTC™ (Versatile Traction Control) Solid coverstock will provide earlier traction on the lane than previous versions making it ideal for just a little more oil, or, making it the perfect ball when the friction down lane seems unmanageable and you need more overall control. This ball definitely takes VERSATILITY to the MAX! So if you weren’t already excited, now is the time you should get HYPED!

Here is what Roto Grip has to say about Idol Cosmos:
Due to the overwhelming success and popularity of the IDOL™ Helios, we felt that creating a pearlized version using the same coverstock chemistry was an absolute must that bowlers around the globe needed. So, the Research & Development Team went to work adjusting formulas and testing the different variations of the XtremeTrax™ coverstock material in a pearlized form. All we can say is WOW, we impressed ourselves which means you will be impressed as well. Our sole focus was to create an option that compliments the IDOL Helios, meaning just a bit cleaner through the front of the lane while providing more motion and reaction down lane.

Thanks for your support!
Im liking the gem for heavy to medium oil as my primary but i was wondering what would be a good dry lane ball and mid range. I like to have 3 balls to cover a range. I love atorm balls and loved my crux so im hoping 2022 will have great balls. Im also thinking of going with roto grip type but need asemetricial too. Can you give me any advice? Thanks.
Hi Shane,
It really is up to you. On dry lanes, the symmetrical balls perform well for me. I don’t really have a dry lane ball. Currently, I bowl on medium-dry lanes, so I just move left, throw right on the dry stuff, with my asymmetrical balls. I currently use the Global Altered Reality, Storm Parallax Effect, and the Roto Grip RST-X2. Both the Reality and Parallax effect are too much for the dry conditions.
The X2 was really a wicked hockey stick motion out of the box, I hit it with 2000 Abralon, and polished it. That tamed it down to where I can use it on drier conditions. But, you don’t need a high end ball for dry lanes.
I have the older Retired Hustle Ink, that works great on dry lanes. It’s a symmetrical, and I line up my feet with the center dot, and throw 14 board. works great. It is a solid, but after throwing the pearl reactive balls, I think they would be good also.
Maybe something like the Hustle Wine would be good for dry lanes. It is similar to the Ink, but is a Pearl Reactive. My X2 is pearl reactive too, but a little surface tamed it right down!
You could try that out of the box, It should be a lot less hokey stick motion, more like a controlled arc with good backend, similar to the Hustle ink. If you need to, hit it with 2000 and polish it. It is 1500 grit polished out of the box. I would try that first, get about 20 games on it. If it is still to much, go to 2000 with polish.
At $89 bucks, it a lot of bang for the buck! The Hustle is a good ball. That’s my best idea for you!
Good Luck and good bowling!
