Just out of curiosity, I perused the USBC's approved ball list site. It noted Brunswick had two pieces approved on 10.3.2017 -- Kingpin and Magnitude 055.
Do any of you suspect Kingpin might be a successor to the Ringer series? Magnitude 055 kind of speaks for itself.

Kingpin will be their big hooking ball! They also have a new urethane ball and all three will feature their new core technology! The Magnitude will be stronger than the first one with a high rg core.
-
A new urethane ball -- hopefully a true urethane ball -- will be most welcomed. I'm not sure if I'm willing to plunk out $129, $139, or whatever the price will be for one. I have a Faball Hammer arsenal -- blue, burgundy, and the original black -- that's still functional.

I was told that Tom Smallwood was given the new urethane to try/review for Brunswick last month. His proshop mgr. said there was no name @ the time but it was really a true urethane reaction as opposed to the original BTU.
I guess they finally came up w/ a name & release date.

That's the urethane.

Yeah, read that. BUT there were NO Rhinos released in 88. The powder blue was an Oct 87 and the next Rhino was Cobalt in Mar 89. a month later the Black Pearl and finally Red in Oct 90. So which is it? Those balls were different 4 sure?????
