Perfect breakdown ball
Ethos is incredibly angular and a perfect ball down for breakdown on any pattern. The symmetrical core with the combination of HK22 pearl gives the ethos the absolute cleanest and most angular ball motion I’ve ever seen in a Brunswick ball. In addition to being very clean downlane I was very surprised at how well the Ethos took to surface changes. The Ethos was able to take more surface while maintaining downlane motion and control. It’s the perfect ball down from my Envy Tour Pearl and gives me a similar reaction with a cleaner reaction through the fronts.

Brunswick Ethos
Here is my take on the Brunswick Ethos that recently released several weeks ago. The Ethos features a lower RG/higher diff. symmetrical core wrapped by a pearl purple/sky/carbon pearl reactive cover with the widely used HK-22 base. Box finish is 1500 Siaair with factory compound. I drilled one with a 60 x 4 3/4 x 70 layout with box finish. I have tried the Ethos on fresh THS.
The manufacturer's intent was to create a ball that has an angular motion on medium to heavier volumes of oil. Notwithstanding the pin down layout, the Ethos is quick off the spot. My thinking is that I would probably add a touch of surface just to slow the reaction down a bit and get the ball started a little earlier on fresh. At box surface, I could see this ball in play on medium to lighter volumes of oil or perhaps even on broken down patterns where the bowler is looking to move back to the right with a cleaner ball. I, again, will be very interested to see what the Ethos looks like with a touch more surface on medium to a little higher volume of oil.
The Brunswick Ethos is readily available...please see your pro shop for more information.

Clean and smooth
This ball reminds me of the Melee line because of the coverstock. SH4.0 Pearl (Savvy Hook 4.0) with the HK22 additive, this ball is clean and smooth through the fronted and mids, and has a pop at the back end. Really really smooth ball in my opinion

The Ethos
The Ethos is the ball you want in your bag if you are a fan of the Jab line. With the Ethos you don’t get that early hook that carbon would give you. The Ethos gets thought the front of the lane and with the HK-22 pearl you get that strong motion to the pocket with enough energy to carry the corner pins.

Brunswick Ethos
Brunswick Ethos is the latest Symmetrical Pearl from Brunswick. First is the color, it is a beautiful bowling ball. Performance is fantastic as well. It is very quick and angular in shape. If you need to slow it down and smooth out the transition, it does react well to surface changes.
By Lane Side Reviews from Ontario
Pros:
Great for late hook, getting down lane through friction.
Cons:
not for heavy oil
Best Uses:
oil, tournaments
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Spiritual successor to the jab
This is an incredible replacement for the Jab line. HK22 makes everything better, and this is no exception. That flip block gives it better recovery and more continuation when the lanes get tough.
Would definitely recommend.
