    Forgot to let everyone know how it went over the weekend but it went GREAT!

    So I cleaned my ball then took to a place to be polished. It was Hooking nice for me. Everyone around me was complaining that the lanes were to oily that night but my ball was coming in harder then it has in a while. Bowled my second best series of the year (682).

    So how should I clean my ball and can it be cleaned to much?

    Wipe your ball after every shot. Clean your ball with a good quality cleaner (Storm Reacta Foam, Powerhouse, and Valentinos Remedy RX are my favorites) after each use.

    Does the reacta foam work on any ball finish? Pearl or solid?

    Reacta Foam does not alter surface so yes it will work on anything. Reacta shine is only for polished surfaces and reacta scuff for duller surfaces.

    From actual league experience, I can tell you that the Purple Stuff facilitates the oil breaking down even faster! There are a whole lot of inward groans when we get to a pair where someone is using it.

    so what you are saying is the "flat 10" you are supposed to fix with using the purple stuff is just breaking the lane down and creating an adjustment for you?
