Building on the success of The Hitter line, The Radical The Hitter Pearl elevates performance with the innovative HK-22 Utility Pearl cover. While the original The Hitter featured the HK-22 Solid derivative, the new pearl version offers a cleaner motion and a more pronounced backend reaction. This cover and core combination provides enhanced sharpness down the lane, in contrast to the mid-lane motion of the original Hitter, making The Hitter Pearl a perfect complement to its predecessor.

I drilled The Hitter Pearl 50 x 4.5" x 70 to be a benchmark asymmetric pearl, complimenting The Hitter solid perfectly in my arsenal. The Hitter Pearl features an HK22 base called HK22 Utility Pearl. This cover and core combination yields a cleaner motion and a significant increase in backend reaction. Where the original Hitter had more mid-lane motion, The Hitter Pearl is cleaner and sharper down-lane, making it a perfect complement to the original Hitter. I have used this on a 41 ft. house shot, Autobahn, Viper, and Harry Smith oil patterns, and have been very impressed by the cleaner length and sharp angles to the pocket that I can create with this ball. I have this one about 2-3 feet longer than the original The Hitter, with similar overall hook. The best asymmetric 1-2 punch out there! If you are looking for the best bang for your buck, look no further than The Hitter Pearl! Order your The Hitter Pearl now from Bowler Builders Pro Shop and join the Radical Revolution today!

The Hitter Pearl - House Patterns

Went with the Radical Maximum Flip Layout for The Hitter Pearl, I like what I am seeing out of The Hitter, true to shape.  I don’t see a drastic seven looking motion like other pearl pieces have shown.  The Hitter Pearl has a continuous roll to it, also rolls a bit heavy which I like as well.  I didn’t touch the surface bowled about nine games with the true surface only wiping oil off now and then.  The Hitter Pearl is what I call “true to form” meaning it likes to roll in it’s natural state The Hitter Pearl came polish so it shows itself best polish from what I can see.  I played around with the surface for a couple weeks 2000 then 3000 The Hitter will stand up quickly when surface is added almost sooner then The Hitter Solid.  I was not ready for the ball to be that strong with a minor surface change.  The Hitter Pearl is predictable with change of direction and loves to finish through the pins.  I was also getting light mixers to go a good amount.  Almost like it touched the pocket enough and pins were afraid to stand I CAN GET USE TO THAT!!!!  If you are looking for a bowling ball that will give you instant reaction and you don’t have to make surface adjustments. I think The Hitter Pearl is that piece you have been looking for.
