I bought the diamond one and am a happy customer.
I'm sure. I wasn't trying to imply that commercial ball cleaners didn't do a great job. However, the point was they are expensive and a lot of people can't afford them, or justify the expense considering all the other expenses of every day life. Myself included. Those machines can cost 400 to 600 dollars. My offering is 10 to 20 times less expensive.
There are many of us still cleaning balls one by one with an old cloth, not because its fun, but perhaps because they hadn't considered this easy alternative. .
The recent post on polish inspired me to recall this inexpensive and easier than manual way to polish balls.
So while a 500+ dollar machine would be nice, for home use that cuts the time and effort in more than half for 35 bucks or so, my alternative ain't a bad way to go.
As far as worry that the ball collide while cleaning them, they are gently and randomly rolling around on carpet. Far less shock than playing pool with them.
Anyway, if you can't or won't allow yourself to spend hundreds on a ball cleaner, and you're to damned lazy yo make one out of a bucket like me, this works fine.
