This ball would look GREAT with a set of Centennials!

I have all three. Black Measles Duramith, Black Arcos II Triangles and Centennial (among others) I know all the talk about the difference between Arcos II and Duramith but in real world play I can not tell ANY difference in burn marks (Both leave none really) or contact marks. I know that is...

If you are worried about burn marks on your home table from breaking, use the joker from a deck of cards under the cue ball when you break. (Or any other card of course) I have the Arcos II and the Tournament Black. I really like both and can not tell a difference. Neither leaves a break...

I'm very glad I got mine when I did! I suppose high end cleaners are a very small, almost microscopic market. No one seems to manufacture, stock, or maintain consistent distribution of ANY of them! Perhaps all of the CG units sold out because they were all that were readily available. I hope...

Personally I was blown away a few threads ago when I first saw your bucket polisher idea. Best EVER! Of that type. Your model had inspired me to build my own but finally I just decided I wanted a nicer professional machine I could leave out in my office / pool room. We are all anxiously...

This makes perfect sense to me. ESPECIALLY if you have a 16 ball machine. If I played mostly 9 ball, it's no trouble at all to just toss all 16 into the CG and turn the knob. My reason for the post you reference is really intended to be less about cleaning 1/2 rack but rather I would like...

The cue ball is the best part. On an off day from work, I can go through 2 or 3 cue balls over a few hours in terms of them being covered with marks. I usually change out the ball every couple of hours of play. My normal routine before now was to clean the entire set by hand once a week. Now...

I would really like to be able to test this out. Given the hardness of Phenolic and the softness of the carpet, as you mentioned, it would likely take many years to make much difference, but none of us can speak to this with any authority as it has never been tested as far as I know. At 5...

Yes, and this one, at least for me, is the result of the others not maintaining supply. If all of the ones I looked at had been available, I would have bought the Diamond based on the cleaning method, but it was going to be 3 to 4 months. I am very pleased with the Clean Gleem and hope they do...

I Recently Bought a 16 Ball Clean Gleem polisher. Thank you to 2 members here, and another fellow I met on another forum, who were CG owners, that I searched out to get information from before making such and expensive decision. Without their personal recommendations, I would have waited for a...

I see some here advocate for using a spray mixture of 1 TBSP of Aramith Ball Polish in 1 cup of 91% Isopropyl alcohol. One of the automatic ball polisher manufacturers also recommends this while cleaning in their machine. I watched the video of Dr. Dave showing the effect of various cleaners...

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! :-)
