....Deep Purple...
« on: September 19, 2012, 01:12:00 AM »
So how does everyone like the new Deep Purple? I got one as a gift and I'll be picking it up tomorrow (Wednesday)

Just for the fun of it I had it drilled aggressive as the 1st Taboo went very straiiiiiiiiight for me and I don't want that happening again to me  :o
Now throwing pretty much all flavors...

Super early, very strong....picked one up today and not sure if I like it. PI took it to 4000 and it helped but it needs lots and lots of oil. I will get a better look friday night on fresh

Hey Hammerheads, Ok, I picked mine up Wednesday and threw it on my Wednesday nite league.

I had it drilled with a 4" to PAP and I had it that way so I can open up the lanes with it...BINGO!!!

Whoa Baby!!! what a ball...goes very nice and mellow in the oil and then when it hits the dry it goes "See Ya"

I didnt get to throw it all night as the oil goes pretty fast where I bowl so game 1 was a 265 with everyone coming over and drooling at how it turns the corner, that was fun.

Game 2 was a massive transition and I should have put it away but I forced myself to STILL use it =-)

So I only shot a baby deuce so in game 3 I brought out my highly polished SWAGGA and shot a respectable 220ish

But the ball looks so nice with that solid purple color and the way it turned for home that a lot of people were coming over saying they were getting one ASAP...a pretty fun nite.

If you live within driving distance of Stockton, California, the West Lane Bowl proshop has the Hammer Deep Purple for $169.99 and that includes drilling. If you want grips and slug add $10.00

I don't throw Hammer, but I have to say that price tempts me to get one. LOL

Im looking forward to throwing mine tonight on fresh. I practiced and there was oil but broken down and it just burned up very early...I have mine 4.5 to PAP, Pin over ring and MB about an inch and a half right of my thumb

Ok, Threw mine last night at 4000....I was worried after my practice session but I guess it was drier than I thought. Ball was great on the fresh......261,257,186, as you can see I stayed with it too long, I should have put it away. Its smooth but continuous for me, carried great!! Needs oil but if you put it away when you should it will be a great ball......way way smoother than the Jet Black at 4000. Id say 4-5 feet earlier and 3-4 boards stronger on the fresh than the Jet Black at 4000. Really nice controllable arc! 705 first night out not so bad!!  518 in the first two......
