COMMENTS:
DV8's Hitman Enforcer is their latest skid/flip ball in the lineup. I laid this one out 55 x 5 1/4 x 25, I chose to keep my angle sums low to try to keep it from being way too long, as I have upwards of 20* of tilt. Even with the low angle sums, this ball gets effortless length, and as of now for me is the quickest response ball I have in my bag.
For me I didnt match up to the oob surface, I hit it with a 3000 abralon pad and thats where it has been since. The center where my shop is typically puts out plenty of oil, so I needed more surface to be able to use it. Where there is friction, whether its dry boards near the gutter, or downlane this ball will allow you to open up your angles and get left.
Overall I see rev dominate bowlers loving this piece with the effortless length built in. For most everyday ths league bowlers, you will quickly fall in love with this ball as it gives you all the classic long and strong look most like. Tournament bowlers will especially love this ball as the lanes breakdown and you need a ball to get left and pitch it to the burn.
For those of you who have some DV8 pieces, this ball will fall under the Pitbulls strength wise, and just above the Turmoil Solid. It's also one of the longest balls in the current lineup at oob surface.
Overall I love when im able to throw the Hitman Enforcer, the angles I can generate downlane are pretty crazy at times. Its definitely one of my favorite balls in the bag right now. I would definitely point bowlers towards this ball if they are looking for the classic "long and strong" look.
