Looking to delay my reaction without losing the backend reation.

Would Tracks magic shine or delayed reaction do as advertised? or is there a better 1 ?

I suggest the Powerhouse™ Extender Polish . The only thing with this [olish is

it is
Length - Increasing / Backend - Decreasing / and Overall Hook - Decreasing

Then go with Powerhouse factory finish polish or Powerhouse Magic Shine (which I use the same purpose your looking for)

Whats the ball your having issue with and what type of surface does it have on it currently? But for us to give you our best guess we need to know more information.

PH Particle Polish is actually longer then PH Factory Finish. Particle Polish will probably not kill the backends like say Extender would, based on what I've heard.

While I have not tried Extender Polish, don't think that would be my first choice/option.

Keep in mind Jeff Ussery use to run the Power House (PH) Brand, so he is a great resource.

You could ask Kevin at Valentino's Bowling, about UFO. It's their longer polish... maybe he has compared them to what your using or know.

its for (i know i know this is a hammer site) a VE.

Dont have a prob with my hammer it the goto (should start with it) ball most nights... Toxic

I read somewhere that using the dots makes the ball hook (roll whatever) earlier but i do the same with the toxic and it is not affected by this. For some reason i had to move my targeting to the dots & the arrows but when tring to use the arrows alone i need a 3-4 board margin with the dots its like a 1/2 to 1 1/2 margin for misses. using the dots the VE starts to hook about midlane, now i can get it down lane with using the arrows but not as repeatable. It could be also that i'm teaching myself to play more inside with the last 2 balls i bought (vg , ve), but the vg i have an understanding with... it don't like the lanes unless it close to a swamp or my armcan trow it at 20 mph (pin deck speed).

my pap is over 4" and up 7/8 as far as pin distance ????? its under ring finger (forgive me im at work) the key is below and right of the thumb (close to the ths drilling on storm drill sheet).

Think maybe Magic Shine or maybe Extender Polish I'd apply it with light coats, until you find what you like.

I'd be tempted to try a Valentino's UFO. Don't be afriad to put some surface under the polish.

Here is the link to there Snake Oil Polish. My wife likes this on her Sauce. It did not like it on my Psycho much.

try powerhouse factory finish, it will give you more lenght without sacrificing backend snap, if that doesn't do the trick go with the extender polish.

I prefer Valentino's Snake Oil the Valentino's UFO has a slip agent in it to provide a little extra skid. Buy them both they aren't really that expensive try the Snake Oil and if it isn't enough use the UFO.

The VE is quite a bit stronger than the Toxic, especially in the midlane.

Virtual Energy is 1500 polished. You could take it to 4000 polished or even 2000 polished.

if you want to keep the backend but get the ball to go longer then change the surface. If you are reluctant to do that you can use Delayed Reaction (works really well in my experience).

Problem is if you polish over polish, you are going to lose a lot of the backend, crack the surface with an abralon pad then polish it again.
