I was browsing the Storm website and noticed that Storm manufactures a line of "Reacta" ball care products. One claims to "clean, shine and maintain tacky feel." There are separarte products just to add tackiness to the cover stock too.
I thought all I needed was a general product to clean the ball and a standard ball polish for pearlized finished balls. Am I missing something here with the tacky finish agents? are they just for the serious crankers and pros? are they hype?
Should this change my concept of ball care at all? I roll a Storm Lucid, and Raw Hammer Jacked ( both balls with reactive coverstock-no polish or tacky agent required.), But I also roll a Brunswick Zone C-System Ultimax with pearl finish as well as a vintaged Columbia 300 TI Messenger Pearl. I clean all balls with denatured alcohol and apply a ball polish that was purchased from the LPS (Local Pro shop). I don't own a ball spinner. Just rub it on pretty evenly, let it dry and buff to a shine.
Is there an advantage to using these Reacta products over my current routine? Do I need a ball spinner, or is standard manual application sufficient. I bowl local lane league one night a week and practice about twice a week on my own.
