Control-It vs. Delayed Reaction
« on: September 04, 2003, 08:14:32 AM »
Both of these products advertise pretty much the same results.  I've used Control-It and have found it to work as advertised.  Track's Delayed Reaction is new and I haven't used it yet.

Has anyone used both of these products?  Any comments on the difference?

Haven't used either, but have a question. If you wanted to polish up a urethane ball (black hammer), would control it be the one to use? Doesn't make much sense to use a 'reactive' polish on a urethane ball. Or I guess there's always the Lustre King!

If the 'control-it' type of stuff is putting silicon into the pores, then I might as well save money and just use my can of "Rain Dance". It sure puts the 'long skid' on my White Dot.

Actually I don't believe that Control-It puts silicone into the pores of the ball.    Rather, it has an agent that creates a molecular bond with the coverstock of the ball that promotes skid.  The Control-It has to be sanded or scuffed to be removed.  And, if you bowl on a very aggressive lane surface, the Control-It in the track area can be eroded away in several games.  I think that Neo Tac recommends a recoating every 9 games or so, or more often if the effects seem to wear off quicker.
