This is going to be amazing!

This is a sideways comment I am sure, but I am hopeful for the Brunswick revival. That said, I don't have great faith. It's extremely challenging to take an "Old" name back into main stream popularity. Sears couldn't make a comeback. Macy's is floundering. In the midst of their old school...

This has become a MARVELOUS example of ThreadJacking! LOL :-)

I'm so sorry. I misread your post and gave you the instructions for a Ballstar machine. Not a Diamond. On the diamond there is nothing to do but replace the side carpet, the platter pad underneath and the sprocket. All three are about $70 at Manning or PoolDawg or Seyberts. I apologize for...

Just grabbed these off of the big auction site! I have played the game, but it's nice to have a dedicated set! I looked for a dedicated set and CanadaBilliard.co has an Aramith set but it's $150 and just colored balls. I like that these look like real Bocce balls! Also seemed like a very...

I haven't lost a game this entire year! :-)

Regarding ALL ball cleaners including the much touted Diamond... EVERY time you use it, you leave dirt and residue from cleaning behind. These machines must be maintained and the cleaning surfaces either cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. If you do that, they should all do a very good job.

This is really nice! Great work on the custom built in cleaner for sure. I am impressed with your skills! If you made pictures of how you built the cleaner and the process I am sure I speak for many here that we would really appreciate seeing the process.

And you can not put a value on the "Cool Factor" of telling everyone who comes to play pool at your house that you made it yourself! :-)

If there are 20 hours of skilled labor required at the bargain price of $20.00/hr. then just the labor would be $400. Of course, Diamond makes many at a time and has the parts templated and ready to assemble. Probably only an hour to 2 hours per unit in labor, but to build one yourself like...

Thank you for posting your progress and the complexity of the work! This clarifies for anyone who has a question that there is real value in the "high price" of the Diamond machines! I am amazed that they can sell them as reasonably as they do!

I agree. This website seems poorly made and low quality for an international business. Especially this part: "and we have developed a new ball machine of high-technical by ourselves based on long experience in this field, and the dirty ball will be on the birth of a new cleaned ball by the...

Isn't Ballstar actually made in S.Korea where it was originally designed? Here is their website: https://ballstar.en.ec21.com/company_info.html S.Korea is a free republic while China is a dictatorship if that matters in the purchase, and to many, it does.

Wow! Thank you for the link! I am now following that site. This is really like watching a great instructor for free!

So would you recommend the Ballstar liquid cleaner sprayed on? Or the 1Tbsp to 1 cup Aramith to Alcohol mixture as a spray? What do you recommend as a cleaning agent to maximize the life of the platter, side wall and sprocket carpet?

What led you to get the Bludworth and get rid of the diamond? You are the first I have ever heard with a Diamond who left the cult! :-)

The Bludworth website is very poor. There is very little information. Also, in the group I am looking at, it is the most expensive when shipping is added. I have never seen one in person but here and elsewhere it is described as a plastic bucket cleaner with a better design. Here, in the...

Actually yes... really. Go to youtube and watch how it works. It does one cycle applying cleaner during the entire cycle, then it reverses. At that point, the applicator for the cleaning solution closes and the balls are dried and polished. It's really a smart idea. What I would REALLY like...

Please help bring this thread up to date! I have decided to buy a ball cleaner for home use. I am NOT interested in building a bucket cleaner that clacks the balls together and speeds the wear on the finish over time. I am willing to pay what is required for one of the better products...

I ran across this and was super excited to see what they are doing to offer a great place to play for families, younger players and anyone interested in learning the game and being in a league as recreation. Wow how I wish someone around me had the expertise to open such a room. I would join...
