Welcome to the board and good luck. I won a Haywire 3 weeks ago and so far I'm loving the ball.
Hi everyone! My husband &I started bowling together. We are looking to join a league soon. I have been reading reviews on balls, the haywire has really good reviews, I would love to win one!! 🎳🎳🎳🎳🎁🎅💃
Welcome to the board and good luck. I won a Haywire 3 weeks ago and so far I'm loving the ball.
I just looked up the Haywire and it seems to be a very good replacement for the Mastermind Genius.

I left it OOB finish and just moved about 2 boards from my normal target and it's been working well for me. Been striking even with light hits. I bowled a 191 and 212 with the haywire last night in my league.
I've seen a few people use them in league. It really needs oil to be most effective
I threw my 300 with it last week. I have no problems using it in all 3 games.

I can think of Zero ways a Rotogrip, sanded solid cover, symmetric core, HP3, low RG ball would be a good replacement for a high RG, Brunswick, assymetric, polished hybrid cover, Pro-level Mastermind Genius.
Unless by good replacement...you mean someone that can't control a Mastermind Genius and wants something much weaker that is going to hook sooner. Or maybe a mid-rev, mid-speed player that can't maximize the potential of the Genius. Or someone that wants to save money...although the Genius is a bit older now...I'm sure depending on the seller...might be a wash. So..????
But...I'm also biased that I've been very unimpressed by Rotogrips mid-level products, the color of this ball looks like blueberry vomit, and everyone I've seen throw it...miserable results. In contrast, the Mastermind Genius was probably one of the balls I've seen most back when I tried my luck at tournaments...and most of those folks did quite well using it.

I look at it like Bowhunting.
Just because its pretty and costs alot doesnt mean its for you.
With bows you gotta shoot as many bows as you can to see what fits you. many bows feel far better than others and have the cheapest rice tag while some people the most expensive bow with all the bells and whistles works est for them. its a try before you buy kind of thing.
Perhaps the Haywire works better for him than the Genius does...
not trying to ruffle feathers or catch attitude.. not my intention at all. I just look at things differently
The RG on the genius and the haywire are similar and the mastermind line is only slightly asymmetric. If you polished the haywire they probably are somewhat close.
Just because you had the driller gut your Asylum trying to make it 3rd in your line up doesn't make toto grip balls weak.
