Brunswick’s latest low mid-price addition is the new Ringer. This ball features a new medium RG core combined with the Chemical Projection Technology coverstock used on the C(System) balls The solid version of this cover has been used on the Versa and Maxxed out, while the last time we saw a pearl version was on the Ulti-Max.

This combination of cover and core matched up best with our medium test pattern. While all three testers liked their reaction on this pattern, Cranker liked it best. He had easy length through the front and a smooth, strong...

The breakpoint is one you have to experience first hand to give it justice. While it is smooth and predictable, it has plenty of continuation.

The High Gloss Polish box finish provides good length to the Ringer. Despite the shiny finish, it was hard to throw this one through the breakpoint.
Back End
(1-20)

The back end motion is strong and predictable. The Ringer does not turn on a dime. Instead, it provides a controlled arc to the pocket.

The Ringer is being introduced into the price point with the Karmas. We have this one just under the Solid Karma with a different motion than the Purple/Pink.

Strengths: Cranker really liked the shape this ball provided. Even with polish, he was able to cover a lot of boards.

Weaknesses: There is little this ball cannot handle. With the proper adjustments and lane play, most players will be able to throw this ball on nearly any condition.

Overall Summary: The Ringer uses a new core shape and surrounds it with a cover Brunswick has used before. The motion is different than any current Brunswick ball.
