Polish
« on: May 27, 2004, 08:49:54 PM »
I just got a new V2 Clean. It came polished out of the box. The ball revs up great, but it is a little strong for my needs. I'd like more length and less backend. I know many polishes will give you more backend. What polish is best to tame down ball reaction?

Neotac Control-It gives length and a tamer backend.  Unfortunately, it also bonds to the surface of the ball.  Once you have it on there, you have to sand the ball to get it off.  That's not really a problem, it's just a lot of time on the spinner if you put Control-It on the ball and then decide you don't like it.  You'd have to sand the ball to get the Control-It off, then polish it back up to where you want it with a regular ball polish.

What Control-It has in it that produces it's effect is something called a "slipping agent."  I think Track makes a similar product, but I don't remember what it's called, if they do.

I just remembered that Track's product is called Track Magic Delayed Reaction.  I don't have any experience with that one, so maybe someone will chime in with some info on it.
