Only 3 games in league so far, but very impressed with this piece.  This ball has easy length, you can tell it want’s to push down the lane.  At this price point, that’s fairly common.  However, the break point is controllable, but very defined and angular.  That’s something you don’t typically see at this price point.  Usually balls in this category will push down the lane for you, but really labor at the break point.  This cover/core combo really, really works.  I can’t wait to put some more games on this on some other conditions. 

I have not seen anything indicating that the Ringer is a dry lanes ball. BTM's and BJI's review indicated a medium-light to medium oil ball. Medium-light for those with faster ball speeds or less revs, medium oil for those with matched speeds/revs or lower ball speeds.

It is just plain inexpensive and bargain at its price range, like  the Freeze and the Cyclone, neither of which are dry lanes balls. The Slingshot is Brunswick's dry lanes, rather light oil ball. As near as I can tell, the Ringer is in the class with the Meanstreak, handling ever so slightly less oil. at a much lower price.

Lower price rarely means a cheap ball or a dry lanes ball.
