- Description: The Rattler strikes, and strikes, and strikes again.

The Rattler provides unmatched reaction at the performance price point. Don't be caught without one in your bag.
Technology
Activator® Coverstock: The Rattler is the first ball with Activator coverstock available at the performance price point. The original Activator coverstock used on the Rattler is a proven formula that provides strong downlane recovery, longevity of ball reaction, and undprecendented durability with superior resisitance to cracking.
Low RG Rocket Core: The Rattler uses Brunswick’s Multi-Sided Rocket Core System, providing a low RG core that when combined with the original Activator produces a ball reaction that is unmatched at the performance price point. Clean through the front with an aggressive move at the breakpoint, the Rattler gives amazing bang for the buck. There isn't another ball in this class that's even close.
High Gloss Finish: The Rattler is finished with Brunswick's Factory Finish High Gloss Polish to maximize the skid-snap reation out of the box. This surface preparation will allow most bowlers to match-up to both freshly oiled and moderately broken down house conditions.

This Ball Is Simply sweet By Jay Bizzy from Richmond Va.
Reviewed on: 11/19/2009 Unverified Pros:Comfortable Grip, Killer Back End Reaction, Attractive Design Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments, Shorter PBA Patterns Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend When I first got the ball with its factory finish it worked for about 30 games then it started giving me an over under reaction. So I dulled it to 1000 and the ball has such a killer backend reaction.From the track area to about the 25th board the ball works very well. the only downfall is ocassionally leaving solid eights and crush nines.

it belongs on the medium/dry lanes By cgb from Hartford, Wi
Reviewed on: 2/11/2011 Verified Reviewer Pros:Attractive Design, Comfortable Grip, Flawless Surface Best Uses:Local Bowling Alley, Tournaments Describe Yourself:League Bowler Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend 2nd shift leagues or synthetics this ball rocks. With minimal lift and a straight follow through I can go long down 9-11 and put a wallup on the rack with a hard left on the end. Great carry even if you run a tight line due to carry down. This ball is NOT an all purpose ball though because in heavy oil this ball will skid all day long which is why I call this ball "Snot on the rocks". Great ball and exactly what I wanted from it.
