Delayed Reaction
« on: October 19, 2004, 10:39:56 PM »
What is this stuff? How is it different from the Clean N' Polish? I know the Clean N' Polish is suppose to polish a ball to 5000, which helps a ball get good length and I figure a strong backend reaction. But what does the Delayed Reaction do... kill a ball's backend???

If you were to take the same ball and put the Delayed Reaction on it, would it make the backend be less than if you had have put the Clean N' Polish on it?

They say that the Clean N' Polsih is great for drier lanes, but it seems that the Delayed Reaction would be better for drier lanes if it kills the backend a little... correct???

I'm wondering if you could take a stronger ball with a more powerful weightblock and put the Delayed Reaction on it and be able to use it on Lighter oil as opposed to just using a weaker ball which would have a "weaker" weightblock in it... because you'd get more hitting power out of the stronger type ball on that Lighter oil shot.


Is it like a polish... how far does it polish up do you think???

Hey Ric,

Yes I have used both but I never stood them side by side on the same ball to give you a fair response.  If it worked fine one way, I never stripped it and put on the other polish and throw it immediately on the same shot, know what I mean?  If you look at Track's website on Clean and Polish, it also shows the image of it mellowing out the backend, even more than Delayed Reaction.  Sorry I can't be of more help to you....

You will see more length and a more controlled backend from the DR than the CNP.

bbridges,

I have had several bottles of delayed reaction and it looks like a white polish. The bottle you have may have settled out. Shake it up really well and see if that helps.

The Delayed Reaction has a slip agent in it, which will cause the ball to react less when it encounters friction.  Because of this, it is a great choice when the fronts and mids fry.

Don't worry, if you decide you don't like the reaction and want to go back to box finish, you can remove it by sanding the surface, then repolishing with Magic Shine.

Mr. Pursel,

It's great to see you have returned. Glad you could find a job in the bowling industry. ( Huge sarcasm, for one of the most knowledgable people.)
I am sure we all hope to read a lot more of your advice!!!
Thank you.

Delayed Reaction does not kill the backend reaction, it tames it down a bit. With most polishes when the ball encounters the dry boards usually they jump really hard right there. Delayed Reaction gets an extra couple of feet into the dry before the balls makes its move.

Hmmm... So basically, where I've been using the Clean N' Polish (which goes to 5000+ grit) for when I'm on drier lanes and need great clearence through drier heads... my best bet would be to use the Delayed Reaction to get through the heads better?

Also, you do put it on like you would a regular polish right? Like with a towel and spinner? And does it actually highly gloss a ball up at all, or just add length to it's already existing cover prep?

You can apply it with a towel, but a spinner always does a better job.  Apply DR on top of the current polish.  It does result in more length, but also a slightly muted backend reaction.  A slip agent is like a coating.  It will retard oil absorption, but not eliminate it.  The Magic Shine is for length with strong backend reation.  They are an excellent pair of tools to use for retaining energy.

Track products....?

DR Great then for overreactive synthetics for playing the dirt?
outside.  Out house is so backend oriented if outside that 4 pins for righties and 6 pins for lefties are the norm.

Long thin oil and overreactive backends.

I'm wondering the same thing, Lucky!

Can a ball with the Delayed Reaction be used to play in the dry on the outside which is usually to dry, or over-reactive, for a ball with just normal polish???

Ric,

In comparison to clean n polish, delayed reaction gets identical length with less backend.

Keep in mind with polish most of the time it makes a ball get more length but at the same time it also makes the ball hook incredibly hard off of the dry. Delayed reaction does not hook very hard off of dry. Even with polish a reactive or particle ball being played in dry area is still going to move. Delayed reaction just moves much less than any other polish I have seen or used.


I hope this helps.

One more thing:

If you put say 5000 polish on a ball and then put the Delayed on top of that, does it leave it with that high polished 5000 shine at tha same time... or does it change that type of surface in order to do "it's thing" so to speak???
