A quick take on the new Columbia Ricochet Return. The Ricochet Return features the same low RG/high diff symmetrical core that was used in the original Ricochet. The Ricochet Return has a ice/sky colored HK-22 Micro Flex Hybrid coverstock finished at Factory Polish over Factory Compound. I've tried this ball on fresh THS at box surface. The layout I used is my favorite pin down layout, 60 x 5 x 70.
In a nutshell, this is a quick response piece of equipment. I've been working lately to expand the "end over end" range of my release. Notwithstanding working with more forward roll, the Ricochet Return shows a quicker transition of the ball. This ball will definitely be in play on lighter volumes of oil and on burn where a quicker response bowling ball is required. This, to my eye, is definitely one of the quicker response balls in the Brands of Brunswick current line up. Plus, this ball looks really sweet going down the lane.
The Columbia Ricochet Return is readily available, see your local pro shop for more information.
