Title: Vise Slip Agent Polish
Post by: BowlingforSoup on March 26, 2017, 10:26:08 PM
Does this polish close the pores up or does it need to be reapplied after so many games.Can't really find much info on it.

I haven't tried it yet, but that is the usual definition of a "slip agent". Sometimes it's silicone (Delayed Reaction & Control-it); sometimes it's an organic agent (Valentino's UFO). In this case, you'd have to ask Vise what the slip agent is.

Maybe you can be the first?

No need for a slip agent polish.
Secret Sauce is the best polish for true, old style urethanes.

Best thing, Bean's Secret Sauce is approved for anytime use. People don't like it though when the lanes are fried and they can't get their ball down the lane and then you throw on some secret sauce and watch your ball skate down the lane and get to the pocket.

It is a great product and works the best out of many polishes that I have tried.  Secret sauce gets the ball down the lane but still allows the ball to hook on the backend.

If you want to kill the reaction Delayed Reaction and Control It are pretty good but not approved for anytime use.  I prefer control it for killing the reaction.

Given the extreme abrasive in it, that decision by the USBC is beyond belief. But that's what their webs site does say.

If you need an intense, no-holds-barred, instant mirror polish, then Secret Sauce is your answer. If you need some range between dull and mirror, then some other brand of polish is needed.

Both, as well as UFO, will add  length, reduce backend and reduce overall hook. Not sure "kill" is the appropriate description. :)

I agree, but they make the rules.  I even talked to them about this, telling them that the product definitely changes the surface.  I guess they don't look at reducing the grit on the bowling ball as "changing the surface".

Ok now we know straight from Vise.The Slip Agent does not clog the pores up and will need to be reapplied after a few hrs to keep the coverstock consistent motions.

Slip Agent, which I have been using since Delayed reaction is no longer readily available does not quite do what delayed reaction did...still kills the backend more than regular polish but not as much as the track product did.

That's interesting, to say the least.
Has to be reapplied every few hours??? That is ... inconvenient.

Try Neo-Tac's Control-It then. I found it similar in functioning to Delayed Reaction. Both contain silicone, as far as I know. They last until you sand it away with fairly rough grit levels.
