Would having your balls cleaned by a machine be better than just using some Aramith ball polish/cleaner and scrubbing them by hand?

I would NEVER put my balls in a machine.
Just sayin'

then you need to do a googil search for that!Might change your mind!:grin:
cleaning balls by hand cannot achieve the same result as machine.
You can only rub, by hand...while a machine actually polishes.
Think about a linoleum floor and the difference one gets using a buffer vs. a mop.
i'm pretty sure this was in jest.
Ever see the video of Corey running a couple hundred balls and cleaning roughly half of them after each rack?

I've never seen anyone so afraid of skidding. But never the less, anyone would have a hard time keeping balls that clean while doing it by hand.
I hadn't seen that one. Definitely skid is a concern when you shoot so straight that almost nothing except a dry break or a miss can stop you.
I've heard it suggested that cleaning balls too regularly (like every rack) shouldn't be allowed... because the cleaning residue actually helps balls slide down rails and makes some shots (like rail cuts) get accepted that were otherwise misses. It effectively enlarges the pockets a fraction. Not sure if I buy that.
I'd just like to see the equipment have a bare minimum of cleaning, and way too many pool halls fall below that minimum. They buy the tables and balls and then never spend another dime on them. Like buying a car and never ever changing the oil, washing it, or checking the fluids.
