Reactive Resin: A polymer that is a cousin to traditional urethane; used as the coverstock on most modern balls; it is generally a surface that grabs the lane sooner, resulting in more and earlier hook than other coverstock surfaces. They can feel tacky/sticky when warm. They tend to react much more to differing lane surfaces, hooking more on drier lanes and skidding more in oil.
