Tell you what, if diamond is selling the single platter for $450 shipped, that's a HUGE problem for Ballstar. At that price point the only thing in favor of the Ballstar is if floor space is an issue and you have to have a counter top machine.
What do "all-ya-all " think of those 4 ball and use your drill type polishers?
:thumbup:
Just got mine. Eleven years later the price is higher but this still holds true. It's one of the very rare things you can buy that does what it's supposed to so well that you don't have to think about it any more.
Glad you like it
When I tried to sell the design of my ball polisher, the first company that came to mind was Olhausen. Back in 1997 I offered the design to Donny Olhausen, he turned me down, not believing they'd sell very many of the units. I then offered the Design to Diamond in 2000, but they turned me down too.
Mark Griffith, with the BCA leagues is the one that actually was the first person impressed enough with the designe of it, to want Diamond to manufacture it. The rest as they say, is history
You’re ahead of your time. You’re innovative…. Come up with some new stuff.When I tried to sell the design of my ball polisher, the first company that came to mind was Olhausen.

Oh I have something new I'm coming up with alright
I love my Diamond polisher and don't regret the $500 I spent on it for 1 second. I have 3 sets of balls that were all not more than 6 months old when I got my Diamond polisher. With almost $1,000 of pool balls I really didn't want to throw them in a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a car buffer mounted to the bottom and watch them spin against each other. I also didn't want to polish all of those by hand either, I would like some time to actually use them on the table. While 1 set spends 30 minutes in the polisher I can use a different set on the table. When the set on the table are due for polishing I grab a shiny set from under my cabinet. For some reason there are not many polishers to choose from on the market. Thanks RKC!!
Nest $ ever spent. I wish everything I have bought work as well as the Diamond Polisher.
I can vouch for auto wax gunking up the paddles & pad of a ball polisher. A well-intentioned but uninformed pool room employee did that with a new full-rack Diamond machine. I don't use anything in my personal machine.

Novus 1 is a plastic cleaner. The balls aren't plastic.
Heath Manning, the distributor I bought mine from, says to use two drops of Aramith Billiard Ball Cleaner, one each on the balls at 6 and 12 o'clock. Why use anything else?
