balls cleaner

Yeah, I thought about being thrifty and building a bucket polisher but I really didnt want my $400 sets of pool balls grinding against each other in a plastic bucket. Since I have 5 sets of balls I broke down and bought a nice Diamond for less than $500 bucks. Now all of my sets are nice and shiny, friends that have pool tables bring theirs over too when coming to shoot on my table.
 
if you are worried about your expensive balls bouncing into each other you had better not play with them. ;) . my polisher works as well as as your $500 job. if you watch the balls from the edge of the bucket, they are just moving slowly in a circle, no "grinding" at all.

The bouncing together doesnt bother me in the slightest, its the spinning against each other that bothers me. It can and will F**K up a ball, I have seen it happen. To me its worth spending the extra money to have the right tool for the job to not to have something dumb happen to a set of balls. That way when I want to buy a new set my old set is worth much more on the secondhand market. In my field I am used to spending copious amounts of money on tools and equipment, my polisher is just another tool.

The bouncing together actually causes white spots on the balls (not permanent) which is one of the reasons I made the divider.

how? in fact, the balls on my bucket polisher are all touching. not much bouncing at all. watch the video again and notice the balls slowly turning in a circle. i think that you are overthinking this. the balls take much more abuse from normal use than polishing. when i get mine out of the bucket, they are nice and shiny. no "white spots" et....
