- Ringer Burgundy Pearl

First Impressions
With the Ringer Burgundy Pearl, Brunswick brings a fascinating new development to market that stands out above all for its exceptional length and late reaction. Inside works the dynamic Ringer Medium RG core, which with a 2.534 RG and a 0.038 differential ensures very clean motion through the front part of the lane. The CPT Flip Pearl Reactive cover is specifically tuned to store the ball's energy extremely efficiently. The surface texture with its 500 Siaair / High Gloss finish supports this trait massively by letting the ball glide effortlessly through the heads without building friction early. Visually the ball is a real eye-catcher and immediately conveys that this model was designed primarily for later and sharper direction changes. The technical match between core and cover is extremely harmonious and purposeful here.
Comparison
Comparing the Ringer Burgundy Pearl to the Brunswick Rhino, the striking differences in backend reaction stand out immediately. The Brunswick Rhino tends to read a bit earlier, while the Ringer Burgundy Pearl holds its energy a decisive fraction longer and then reacts noticeably more aggressively to the dry area. That trait makes it the perfect complement in the arsenal when the Rhino starts losing energy in the pocket or entering too flat. Although both balls are aimed at lighter oil patterns, the Ringer Burgundy Pearl offers a noticeably more dynamic angle. It's the ideal solution for situations where the Rhino no longer develops enough drive, since it generates the necessary entry angle.
On the Lanes
This ball shows its greatest strength once the lane has been played on a bit and the transition has clearly set in. It needs a certain amount of friction in the backend to develop its characteristic hook, which produces maximum, explosive carry. When the boards in the front part of the lane dry up, the ball lets you move systematically further inside and attack the pocket from a much deeper angle. It's very well suited to medium to dry conditions and an excellent choice if you're looking for a clean, responsive surface. Thanks to its forgiving nature on shots missed out, it should keep scores stable at a very high level even in the late stages of a tournament.
