WOW they are the triple nuts, I saw one today in use. I put my set of balls that have been used only on Simonis and used by players so they are good balls but they were a bit dull even after wiping them down best as possible by hand with Maguiers-Glen told me which compound to use so it dosent build up on the balls and everywhere else. Anyways he took my balls, very little juice and put them in the ball cleaner and fired it up. It didnt make noise and rattle like the other ones I have seen with the rotating disc below the balls and the dome top. The Diamond Ball Cleaner was quiet, looked cool and made my balls look almost new-without wearing them down-you could just tell by looking at how the machine works its not wearing out the balls. Its gental on the balls, dosent make noise and my balls were damn near near new. We played with them afterwards for an hour or two and they played like new balls not waxed up old balls.

That machine is awesome, WOW. Sorry my explination isnt to clear i'm tired and full of meds, but that machine is great, anyone with a pool room should have one, period. The balls played so much better, my friends were here too-they play strong and agreeed too.
 
How did you do against Glen? I played a couple of games against him the other day and he's got game. I even took a handicap(he played with out his glasses) and it was close.:eek:

Yah...but people don't even WANT to pay the prices that get charged for Ballstars, let alone the price of a Diamond ball cleaner.

Someone really needs to come up with a way to manufacture a reliable ball cleaner for home users in the $350.00 range. $700.00 for a ball polisher is an insane price to expect a home user to pay. Not to mention that the price goes up to about $800 when you include shipping.

Those prices are okay for a pool hall, but I can't see them selling that many to home users at $700 a pop. I may be wrong. Maybe there are a lot of wealthy people with home rooms that can afford to get a matching ball polisher to go with their Diamond table.

I bought a new Ballstar ball cleaner a month or so and haven't even used it yet!!

Soon though, one can't play with dirty balls!!

I got a killer deal on it, I think around $350.00

Eric, I'd ask you for a pic, but I know better!! :D

Russ....
 
thanks fats, glen told me as follows:

hi fats,

glen told me about your new ball cleaner. and i want to thank you for the "offer" glen said you made for all las vegas azb'ers, & me too!!

he told me you would send a few of your body guards to my trailer to pick up my dirty balls, clean/polish them and return them looking brand spanking new.

what a great gesture on your part!!

i found it backbreaking work, as i have tried to clean/polish them many times without success. but glen said it was "good for your back!!"

thanks,
smokey

(j/k - pls, don't be upset!!)
 
I bought a Ball Star a few months ago and it works great. Much better than the elbow grease I was using.

Can I borrow it? :)
 
Diamond should put a demo video on their site. I want to see that sucker in action and the before and after pics. :D

I was thinking about making a home made balls cleaner by following one of those threads. Cleaning balls by hand is a pain in the ass.

I saw one of the homemade ones in action a couple months ago. Not bad for less than $40 investment. He is probably going to upgrade his model and figure out a way to have individual holes for the balls.

No matter what EVERY ball cleaner needs to be gental. While the exterior may appear rough most balls are really quite delicate.

we didnt play today, well yesterday now, last time we played he was 4 games up after 2 hours, the time before he was 6 games up after 5 hours, I didnt play very good either time, I havent played good since december(except once or twice) my back is just too much to deal with. The time we played for 5 hours I was 12 days post op, which was a bad idea I couldnt walk more than 25 feet for a week the day after. I can hang in there with him playing 8ball and think I have the best of it like 50.5% to 49.5% at best. All other games I cant win.

That's pretty cool. A homemade one with individual holes would be nice. I hope he posts it on AZ. :D

You should make one Cuebacca very easy to make follow the direction on the thread. Me and my buddy made two and they both work great. They will hold all 15 balls. I already had the buffer so my cost was almost nill. His was less than 100.00. to make. If interested i can post pics but they look just like the one the thread was about.

I don't believe any of it. Buy me one of those Diamond Ball Cleaners and I'll try it for myself.

Thanks! :) Do you remember who started the thread you're talking about? I checked under threads you started but didn't see one. I'll do a search and compare the different types if you're not sure.

I'd like to make one with individual slots if I can find instructions for one like that. My table's out of commission right now because I just moved, so maybe that's something to work on during the down time.

Eric, sorry for hijacking your thread. The Diamond one is the ultimate ball cleaner, no doubt! :)
 
here is how i look at things, sure I have $$$, but honest to God even when I didnt when I saw something that was going to do what I wanted it to do and IT WOULDNT GO DOWN IN PRICE I would buy it. Russ your price is a bit higher than players can get them for, I cant stand buying $700 cloths because the $$$ is gone, a Diamond BP is awalys gonna be worth atleast 70% of what it cost me, I play alot of pool, playing with new balls or like new balls is worth a couple hundred to me, so even on short $$$ thats the kind of thing I would save my $$$ and buy. What I cant stand is electronics that $$ is gone,


I have seen other polishers and they are loud, or hard on the balls, if the balls are warm comming out of a polisher then there is alot of friction which makes me wonder how much wear there is on the balls, I dont want egg shaped balls. and I believe (dont know for sure) that the polishers with a big disc rotating above a board with 16 holes in it are wearing the hell out of the balls, they come out warm, the way the balls look when spinning in them is cicular, only cleaning one side of the balls on on axis. with the diamond cleaner you can see the the balls are being cleaned 360 degrees, its cool to watch.
 
Yes, buying one of these for home use is prohibitively expensive. I'd love one but can't justify the cost when I can get a decent

I think what Diamond or Ballstar could do if they wanted to increase sales is provide a simple marketing kit for cue mechanics, home billiards supply stores and possibly Pool halls. They would buy a machine and use the marketing kit to promote it to their customers to bring their balls in for a clean for a resonable fee.
