That Purple Stuff Review (PART 2) by Lane Side Reviews

[bowl1820]

I need to clarify that I started using That Purple Stuff part way through the league because a friend of mine came up to me with a bottle and said, "Merry Christmas," so I tried it.

That's a friend! free product.

Today I practiced four games and used it after every shot. I was amazed and apalled at how much grime came off of my ball.

Besides the grime removed, what affect did the clean ball have on bowling? was your shot consistent? did you leave a 10 pin? by the end of the 4th game did you have to move so far left you were lofting over the entire left lane because the ball hooked so much?

I now believe, more than ever, that it shouldn't be allowed during competition.

Don't allow that particular cleaner? or all cleaners?

If it's don't allow all cleaners, that's okay.

But if it's only that one (Purple Stuff) to not be allowed, because it cleans too good. That's not right and would open a big can of worms.

Like who and how do they define whats too clean?

That being said, I do think that it is the best cleaner that I have ever seen for use after every session.

looking forward to giving it a try.

One thing learned was just how filthy the lanes are!!

1. I can't really say what effect the cleaner had as I shot 147-177 with reactive balls, followed by 231-203 with my plastic spare ball. I will say that I also used it on the plastic ball and it was carrying the corners with no problem. The sad thing is that this was on fresh oil (short pattern). The idea that anything, ball or product, will eliminate corner pins is ludicrous when bowlers insist on playing the wrong part of the lane!

2. All cleaners.

2. I'm looking forward to using it to clean balls after each session.

I tried some Tuesday night, part way through league. In anticipation, on the first shot with the ball "cleaned," I moved five boards left... and struck. Personally, I don't think it should be allowed for use during competition, but that's just me.

That was just the easy house shot, not the cleaner.

Like the response.

I will demo this product soon. Maybe on Monday.

Sounds like rob and mwhite could go back to the early 1980s. I say this with respect, I bowled at that time too. Path forward is more my style, I like new challenges. Nothing ever stays the same.

Did anyone see the stage one rocket land at Cocoa Beach Florida?

I would love to go back to the early 1980's... the time before my back got so bad when I could actually throw the ball over 12 mph! LOL

I ended up buying this cleaner on eBay and it came today. I just cleaned two balls, one that I clean after every session and one that I haven't used in a while and can't recall when I cleaned it last. But wow, the grim came off! And ohhh that smell! It says to clean in a well ventilated area and make sure you do so. Will be interesting to test it out tonight. I sent a message to to the creator, Ronald and he said to only add a small amount to microfiber towel or pad and I did so and it was plenty. I also asked what he meant by cleaning it after every shot and he said to wipe the ball down fm lane oils. He sells a microfiber pad and other side is other is a sued material. He said inside the pad is a another pad,which absorbs the cleaner. So after your initial application, continue to use the pad and the absorbed cleaner will keep the ball fresh for the series.
