The Hitter By Radical Review❗ | SPECTO Data | BrunsNick
Ойын-сауық
The Hitter features a brand new asymmetrical core design and Utility Solid coverstock created for a strong, sweeping ball motion.
With the help of SPECTO data, it'll help tell the story about reaction shape, overall hook and continuation through the pins. Here are the SPECTO data points used and definition of each term:
Launch Speed - Speed measured off the hand.
Entry Speed - Speed measured at the pins. (What you'd see on your home center MPH screens)
Rev Rate - Revolutions Per Minute (RPM)
Launch Angle - The angle the ball traveled the first 10 feet.
Break Point Position - Board at which the ball was at its outermost position.
Total Hook - Total number of boards the ball crosses on the way to the pins.
Hook Power - Number of boards the ball hooked based on the True Breakpoint.
Entry Angle - The angle of the ball between 51 and 55 feet.
Impact Angle - The angle of the ball between 57 and 59.5 feet.
Pin Deck Exit - Ball position at the end of the pin deck.

I appreciate that!
Love that 3/4 camera angle. Really shows your full apporace/release.
Appreciate the vids Nick 👍
I purchased The Hitter and went out and practiced with it. I like it, It's controllable hits hard.
Man... That ball looks so cool... I'm afraid it will sit right on top of my Outer Limits but I'm starting to care less and less, lol. Love seeing you excited about this ball... I can't wait to see what tournament balls you pick for your arsenal. Too many great balls to pick from. Make sure to send one to Packy!!!
I am a fan of the outer limits so i can see myself getting this ball. Hard to tell which balls i ahould stay away from. You have a way making all these balls look good.
I think this ball compared to the outer limits would be a good video🤔
Solid ball. Happy to see all the hand apparatus videos didn't ruin your release.

That ball looks SWEET. You sold a few I do believe.
Now that’s a good motion 😮
Nick’ I’ve been a fan of Rad Balls since 2021 also others in Brunswick brella . I was thinking of 45x5x20 but now since I’ve seen this ball hook on your numbers I have to reel back and come up with a different no. Oh btw nice camera angle. Another sweet video. I just got a XX still have my purple.✌🏼

This ball also looked very good pin down on throbot.
The Innovator Solid has been my go to ball. Can you do a comparison of the two? Oh...706 and 653 last two nights with the Outer Limits...
Just got it and I love it. Makes me feel like I’m two handed with how much of the lane I can play with the ball 😂
Ah oh! Does my BW 2.0 solid have to start worrying? I do love me a black bowling ball. Cha Ching! Good stuff Nick.

Should have named it the Freddie, because that thing just hits!
Ball hits like my Defender. It doesn’t loose its speed and power down lane. You know when it strikes and so does everyone else
Can you do a video with 3.0 vs the hitter. Thanks great video's like always
Looked real good for you Nick. With my puny 13.5mph speed I’ll have to wait for the pearl version 😬

@@brunsnick so the one SPECTO set of numbers had Launch Speed 18.5 and Entry Speed 13.8, the Entry Speed is what would show on the screen. Wow, I had no idea. Thanks Nick! BTW, the Paragon Pearl looked so good for you I bought one to start league with. It’s a good game 1 ball for me. I think I’ll try the Envy Tour Pearl to go below it.

@@John-sd4ll good thinking! And yes that Paragon Pearl was great and went thru the pins very consistently for me from all angles. Crazy how much speed is lost from friction huh! But yeah, the pin setter cameras calculate the speed and that’s what you see on the screen.
after you do each new ball review you should do all the new balls together not a comparison but to see the shapes each ball has.
Seems like that computer motion design program is killing it.
Sweet... Wondering if you put a shine on it if it would give you a little length?
@brunsnick

Sure would. Don’t know what it would do with overall hook though.
I think the Hitter is a little lacking in the shelf appeal department, but I really like the motion it makes. I might have to get one and put my favorite pin down layout on it.

Cool video talk to you tech bowling bowling ball
I'm converting from 15 to 14 lb and my main benchmark is currently the 15 lb Innovator, which I love. My local shop has an old 14 lb Incognito at a reduced price on the shelf. Do you have an opinion of going with the 14 lb Hitter or the 14 lb Incognito? Thanks.

Both will serve the purpose of strong and controllable asym.
Hello again Nick, how would you compare The Hitter to the DV8 Hellcat XLR8? The Diff and Intermediate's are almost identical. RG on the Hitter is 2.488 and the XLR8 is 2.537. How about a comparison video, Utility coverstock vs Maximum Havoc? Also a great topic for the Radical podcast would be, How to train your Eye to read ball reaction/motion front to back and side to side? Thanks for all you and Phil do for us average league bowlers. Quick note: I was struggling one night with over/under so I pulled out my Brunswick Smash Zone and it helped our team and my series, smooth and controllable. What would compare to the Smash Zone now?
@brunsnick
7 ай бұрын
Something like a Stealth Pearl would be most like Smash Zone I think. As for the comparison, XLR was a bit sharper off the spot for me. Taking a break from actually doing comp videos though. 👍🏻
Brunsnick can you move the Rattler review up please?

would the Hitter be a good compliment to the Crypto Solid? Or a replacement for it?

It would be a little more angular option, both balls are pretty aggressive, the Crypto is Just smoother rolling symmetrical.

I ordered it, will drill it pin-down (200rpm, 15.5-16mph pins). The Crypto Solid is a strike machine for me when the lane conditions match up. But on those days when the lane is stepping on the Crypto's toes a bit (lots of 8s and 9s), I'm interested if the Hitter will give me a similarly controlled but slightly diff angle into the pocket. Bigfoot Hybrid and Crypto Boom are usually too clean for me, resulting in a too-short hook window and lots of over\under splits and 10pins.
@LarrySealeArcheryCoach

Got the Hitter Two days ago. It is a strike machine for me so far. Just as I had hoped - gives me the same 'trying to help you, bro' forgiveness as the Crypto, but a slightly different entry angle to the pocket. I'm very happy with this ball.
Excellent excellent but if u throw it right they usually go down…
At 2:05, what ball are you referring to?
