Does he need a batting average similar to hank arron?  
Does he need to have an 8inch dick and look like smurf?  
Does he need to be a gambler, a lover, or a Nats fan?  
Does he need to be from NY and have a handle that sounds like iPhone?  
Is it the number of reviews?  
P411 okays?  
Board presence?  
Whitelists?  
Number of years mongering?  
Or does he need to be able to knock a heavy bag off the chains at the gym and be able to lift 400lbs of women off the floor? lo

Someone with deep pockets who can see providers at will for multiple hours yet is a gentleman to them without being a mangina who rates well, but fairly and infrequently.  A guy who has a decent bod and self confidence enough to know that mongering is a choice not an obsession nor a way out of "real life".  A guy with a bunch of OK's and white lists who has enough of a board presence to be known, but not necessarily be involved in every controversy.  A humorist who can joke around, yet comment seriously on serious topics.  Experienced but not jaded.  Who doesn't know any 400 lb women but if he did, he wouldn't want to lift them, never mind fuck them.  Someone with a decent dick who isn't a dick, either in the boards or in person.  Someone with good hygiene and manners who knows the ropes and doesn't bug anybody.

Is how the individual sees himself in relation to a hooker. A sense of superiority and power. To me, it has nothing to do with board posts or the number of reviews. The guy who thinks he is a heavy hitter is really a jerk who uses his self important influence to bully hookers and threaten them into doing things they would not do for fear of a bad review.

Not an actual one.

It's like what we tried to convince the turdster oh so long ago. You can't demand respect, and  you can't "claim" to be a heavy hitter. It's something that others have to call you, IMO the very act of calling yourself a heavy hitter in itself disqualifies you from actually being one.

That's an unfortunate way to look at it that you just might be correct about.  I try not to think about the jerks because to me that's foreign to the way I operate.

is the sign of someone with a massive inferiority complex,  a good bit of resentment built up,  or marginal intelligence -

The provider I'm seeing soon,  she usually drinks with me OTC after.  
Last time I saw her she literally blew chunks and I had to help clean up. As hot as she is, I'm scared of drinking with her.  Lol

I'd say AsianManNova is a heavy hitter in Nova area. So is Tomcatt, Stphomer also. Neither of them get involved in any board drama.  Us grant even though he hasn't been around as long as we have,  I trust his reviews. GtotheD sees similar women as I do, in fact almost exact similar so from the stand point of following each others opinions he's a hitter to me even if others might not follow his opinions lol. However, he tends to give the same women we see about a point or two lower in score than I would had I written reviews. if I add a point we seem to have to same preferences lol   Jrod from LA has trustworthy reviews and very similar tastes too.  

1 - someone who produces reviews that are reliable and informative - someone whose reviews are not all about themselves but about the provider, and who are not too easy on the grading.  Sometimes this may be someone with few reviews, sometimes many - the number of reviews is irrelevant

I know that look.

...should read what they say about me on the K-board.  One unimaginative K-boy can't think of anything to call me so he keeps posting a link to one of GaG's posts calling me a "pissy little bitch."  The same guy threatened to have his "chauffeur/minder" beat me to death.

Or just ask Panthera - here's what he says about me:

Panthera should know; he's a genuine bona fide K-boy or "sycophant" as NeedleDick calls them (Needle is also a K-hobbyist but apparently doesn't consider himself a K-suck up like Panthera and the others).

A monger who can nut in less than 15min. with a BBW provider of at least 300lbs. without being asphyxiated.

No reviews

...big spender for whom providers roll out the red carpet and get a headache all of a sudden and have to cancel their other appts. when he wants to see them.

Heavy hitters probably don't write reviews or have whitelists and have very little board presence.  They are known by word of mouth like UTR providers.

Or else they just have big dicks, but that's the subject for yet another dick size thread.

I just do what I do.  Others have a different way that works for them.  It's all good.  Well, mostly.

Regardless of his or her reviews,  board presence,  or back channel.  
However,  in order to be able to impact she or he'd probably need to be well known by many

When nobody knows him?  Where would his credibility be earned from?

What I wrote is self-explanatory. References are all that would be needed, a heavy hitter does not need credibility.

With someone different. And to be in public, there is no way in hell I would be out in public with a john that made it so obvious that he has hired me. I keep that shit indoors.

Was always coming back to me, but seeing other ladies at the same time. I was $250 at the time, and he saw me, but also $1,200 porn stars. He did what he wanted, saw who he wanted, and also was a big tipper, frequent flyer, and was an SD type to me and a few girls too. (I found out later lol.) When people say big money client - that is always one of the guys who cone to mind.

Slap a fat girl.
