The Blue Ringer is a very nice ball!  On medium heavy oil for me it creates a beautiful midlane and a smooth continuous backend, that is rounded.

I have a purple/Pin Karma which is longer and sharper.

I know this, both of the Brunswick balls above have flare potential diffs of near .040.

A HyRoad has a diff right near .047 or .048.  I have also thrown a HyRoad Solid.
To my mind it is a lot like a Blue Ringer in push but stronger in carrydown and backend than the Blue Ringer.

If Stronger was really your goal (ie your wife is pushing the ball too far down the lane without enough backend I would not go down in flare potential to the Ringer.

Great ball the Blue Ringer,  when it is right(ie strong enough in the back I almost don't leave 7 pins as it is so rounded and flush).  When it is wrong, forced too deep inside,  and then squishy soft backends all I do is leave 7 pins!) Lefty!

do you mean more backend or more hook covering more boards? Being a solid compared to a shiny hyroad, the ringer gives you a nice little hook above hyroads (assuming shiny vs dull surface and layouts and all that good stuff).

It says the hyroad is at 4000. Assuming that I believe that the hyroad would still get further down lane than the ringer with more backend pop. The ringer would give you more midlane traction and smoother arc motion on the back. I think they would be pretty close to one another overall so I would look at a stronger overall piece than the ringer.

Yes I in was thinking surface difference and it being a solid would make difference.   It's sometimes difficult to compare different brands so was looking for a potential answer

Not even on its best day !
