That Purple Stuff Review (PART 1) by Lane Side Reviews

[bowl1820]

He compares it against alcohol, Storm extra clean All purpose cleaner (which he doesn't use himself to begin with)

He brings the Perception vs reality video into it.

The tidbit about balls having something on them from the factory was interesting.

The purple stuff is Expensive! $15 (on sale for $12.99)for a 4oz. bottle and they want you to use it after every shot (In other words use it up FAST & Buy more)

I'd love to try some, But not at that price. They need to give out some free samples.

I thought you weren't allowed to use cleaners while you're bowling?

I thought you weren't allowed to use cleaners while you're bowling?

You can use a cleaner during competition if it's USBC approved for use anytime, Unless there's a league or tournament rule against it.

See list here:

Approved Cleaners and Polishes

As it looks like an effective cleaner. Between shots seems to be a bit overkill.
I don't wash my hands after each fry I eat, so this just seems to be a bit much for my liking.

If it were a bit cheaper I would try it as a cleaner after each series but just seems to be a bit much.

After looking at their website I laugh to see that they are basically telling you by using this stuff you will stop leaving flat 10's. Someone needs to be schooled in ball motion and what the ball looks like going through the pins. This stuff may help clean your ball but that alone doesn't cause you to be able to kick out the 10.
