Spot on!  The soul is very predictable and just because it is an entry level ball does not mean this thing won't hook. This is the ball that many people will not, but has a need to get simply because they are afraid of the lower tier options. Impressed by this ball.

It replaces the Ringer line which is a step above entry and a lot of bang for your dollar.

Is the soul mate essentially stronger than the ringer platinum or are they pretty equal?

For me, the Soul Mate is close to the Platinum Ringer, but seems to respond slightly more once it finds adequate friction.  Just feed it to the dry and let it turn.

Also looking at the Soul as a replacement for a very old Copperhead which has been a great ball.  I keep the Copperhead at 1000 Abralon (no polish) and bowling on a usually fresh 41 ft. house shot for league.  Preference is a predicatable smooth arc -- no skid/flip thank you. Am I headed in the right direction?

The Soul drilled pin down and the shine knocked off should be good for what you're wanting.  My Soul is actually more forgiving than the Soul Mate on the fresh conditions that I usually see.  After the lanes start to transition then the Soul Mate becomes the logical choice for me.  Hope this helps.

Here is a video of me throwing the soul and soul mate on a house shot.  The soul is a great addition to the Affordable Line, and is good for medium oil conditions. And, the Soul Mate is a good compliment to give you more skid when the fronts start to hook too much.

These look like a great 1-2 punch for your THS bowler. If I wasn't so intent on buying the Jab and Cross I'd be buying these.

the Soul is ALOT of ball for its buck.  You'll love the soul it is truly something special.  I was pleasantly surprised at how much that ball hooks.  The Soul Mate is a great compliment to it.  When the fronts begin to go, I always know I can go the my Soul Mate and get the ball through the fronts.

Anyone compare a Soul to a Blue Ringer Solid?  I note the Coverstock is called CPTV2 and the coverstock on my Solid Ringer is CPT?

Noted after looking at it for a bit that the core came from a previous Brunswick ball!

The not so popular Swarm.....circa 2008 or so?  Back then it was the Honeycomb core!

I note this Video from Bowlersmart....2 inch pin to PAP?  Intriguing!

I really liked the Swarm I guess it matched up well in the houses I bowled in.

No insult to the Storm.  Just saw very few of them!  I liked the way it rolled also with the previously named "Honeycomb" core Now named Soul Medium RG core!

I am interested from our Brunswick Gurus as to how much more push they are seeing with the CPTv2 coverstock versus the Blue Ringer CPT(original).

Particularly intriguing to me is this video.  Yes I note the 2 inch pin to Pap drilling...
