The Fast Pitch features the Controll XL solid urethane coverstock and the Tour Block core.  The coverstock comes in right between the Pitch Black and Pitch Purple, with a look that’s very reminiscent of old school 80s urethane.  It’s not as early and slow as the Black, but not as long and quick as the Purple, giving you a look that fits that gap.  The Tour Block was used in the Fever Pitch and is basically the Hyroad core with the internal ball removed, this gives the ball an even higher RG at 2.61, but a differential on the low side of medium at .030 in 15 pounds, and the result is a ball that controls the lane and acts like balls like the Blue Hammer of yesteryear.  Urethane balls are hard to rate because they do hook quite a bit, but are so early and smooth that they don’t visually read like resin balls.  With 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I give the Fast Pitch a 5 on hook, a 2 on length, and a 2 on backend strength.
