Radical The Hitter Pearl
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.

The Hitter Pearl: Length, backend, perfection!
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!

Hitter Pearl
The hitter Pearl is a great compliment to the original Hitter. This ball is much smoother through the midlane but provides a much sharper backend motion. I'm finding when I need to move deeper on the lane when the lanes start to break down that I can switch from the hitter and go to the Hitter pearl and maintain the carry! This pearl is a must have in your bag.

The Hitter Pearl
The Hitter Pearl is an excellent compliment to the The Hitter Solid. I have the Hitter Pearl much cleaner through the heads and a little quicker downlane as long as there is friction. I see the Hitter the perfect compliment to The Hitter Solid and very useful later in the set/block as the lanes breakdown and more length is needed. Clean and quick who doesn’t like that!!!
