    "Gold Crown" Ball Polisher...FINISHED!

    This is an amazing story we have followed,and fun to watch. I hope you get a lot of years of enjoyment out of your new "Bruswick" ball cleaner! Just a side note, if you are happy with your formula, don't change a thing of course, but I would love to hear how the 1Tbsp Aramith cleaner in 1cup...

    Diamond Ball Polisher vs Bludworth Ball Polisher

    I have a CleanGleem polisher. They recommend a solution of 1 Tablespoon of Aramith Cleaner to 1 cup of 91% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle, applied while the machine is running. This MINIMAL wax in the alcohol dries quickly, and polishes really well. All of my sets look brand new with a...

    Mental Game - (long) The role of aiming systems in peak performance.

    These are nice steps to performance improvement over time. As I look back, this was pretty much my history, albeit unconsciously. Now days, whenever my game begins to wain, I have a quick fundamentals checklist in my head. I can pretty quickly figure out what I am missing. For me, the most...

    Cyclop shutting down?

    Thank you for that color chart Fatboy! Very useful information. Based on this, all of the sets we see coming from Dynaspheres with the grey and light blue may be based on the 1920's? Clearly and interestingly, the "Traditional Color Sets" seem to be based on the swatch from the 1910's which...

    Cyclop shutting down?

    You are the MOST consistent, reliable, traditionalist on AZB by a WIDE margin! :-) While I generally agree with you that traditional is best, and I personally really like the maroon color and, of course, the orange 5 ball, the other sets are fun to switch out. I guess this is why ford no...

    Cyclop shutting down?

    Interesting that you described these as "Easter Egg" colors. If I am thinking of the same set, we have a Dynaspheres Tungsten set and my daughter, upon seeing them for the first time, said, "Oh wow, those look very "Art Deco" or mid 1920's." Since she is my daughter, she is right and you are...

    Anyone else ever pull out an old cue, play great with it, and suddenly doubt which is your favorite?

    I own 2 players. One 13mm maple and 1 12.2mm graphite. I swap them out every once in a while and find I play about the same. The 13mm is more forgiving but the 12.2 seems to do much better with ball control IMHO.

    Pool fads?

    B But depending on the style you choose, Dynaspheres run from $100 for their classic Bronze set to nearly $400 for their high style sets with extra cue ball etc. Cyclop Hyperion with 3 extra money balls and extra cue ball was certainly high end like that and thus the premium price. What...

    Pool fads?

    Agreed, but I can't help but wonder if that is why the brand no longer exists and the name was changed to Dynaspheres (which are absolutely great by the way)

    Pool fads?

    Cyclop balls had some really significant quality problems early on. Balls literally cracked in half.

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    This was also my experience using it in my polisher. The home made mixture I described above leaves absolutely nothing ON the ball. They just come out polished and clean. In Dr. Dave's videos, the plain alcohol seems to be a little "grabby" or has a little more throw but it is very minimal...

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    Especially if you already have a bottle of aramith cleaner around. I started with a $1.00 spray bottle from walmart, but it clogged and leaked. I found this one on Amazon at the recommendation of a friend here on the boards It is REALLY top quality and never leaks or clogs...

    Which one for Diamond ball polisher?

    I have found the mixture of 1 to 1.5 tbsp Aramith cleaner mixed with 1 cup of 91% isopropyl alcohol sprayed in while my cleaner is running produces consistent, high polish results. I had never heard of this but it was included in the instructions for my machine. Truly an amazing product...
