Hey, thanks for this video. I had the materials on hand and made one. It works GREAT!! Also cleaned an old set of balls I'd stored years ago and they look new! I used some Turtle wax which worked just fine. After about 10 minutes, the results were remarkable. Thanks again..

Doesn’t Turtle Wax reduce throw? If it does it will be a disadvantage when you play outside.

I had everything I needed at home. I used some of the wifes stash of Flees for the sides of the bucket, just clipped it on with large binder clips. I did not need to cut a hole in the bucket, just left the cable out the top and held it in place while the cleaning was in progress. Balls turned out very clean. Thanks for the info

Outstanding video! I just found this as I just got a used table and the balls are 22 years old and never cleaned. I had a 5 gallon HD bucket and went and got the cordless Ryobi 10inch buffer and a cheap welcome carpet mat, thin pile. I spray glued the carpet to the sides of the inside of the bucket and placed the buffer inside it after cutting a hole in the side of the bucket to get to the power button. Everything worked like a charm. The only thing I would do different if get a buffer with a variable speed. This goes too fast and I had to put a heavy weight on top of it so it would be stable.

On the subject of the buffer, all I can find are random orbitals. I tried closely checking out the video and it seems to me the balls are being jostled some, but I seem to think the orbital motion was supposed to be more radical than that. It's been a long time since I've been buff. (ing). Is this a random orbital buffer or are there fixed axis buffers on the market. If so, where are they? Thanks for the video and the good idea!

Hello sir, i ve watced your video i liked it, i did a washer polisher too but there is a problem, all the balls shines very good but i watched carefully and realise that there were mini marks on the balls, the balls contact each other when the polisher rotates so i guess these marks are from the contact, i also use aramith ball polisher. After the cleaning i use a micr fiber towel. Any tips will help. Thank you in advance

I was thinking this as I saw your comment, has it affected the balls over time it’s been 3 years now. I just a set of aramith pro tournament and had the concern of the scratches cause mine don’t have any right now
@DLoonie2 жыл бұрын
@@j_cruz_56deuce26 to be honest when you play you create marks longterm, balls with contact create friction thats why in longterm use loose weight, so the best solution is to spent extra time and seperate the balls in the basket with a material where the edges of this material will be soft. hope this helps

The Harry Channel , thank you so much for the great comment I'm very happy to have you as a subscriber. My first question is what size table are you looking for?
@TheHarryChanne16 жыл бұрын
Learn Billiards at least 8 foot. I'd prefer 9. I almost bought an AMF competition table circa 1970s, but I moved too slowly. Now I have time to do it right. What I'm really wondering is the process of buying, moving, setting up, getting someone qualified to service it, etc. Tips on what to look for, what to avoid, etc...
@LearnBilliards6 жыл бұрын
The Harry Channel an 8-foot table is a great choice it's good for all around play make sure you find the company obviously that is reputable you want to make sure that the installer is going to use a machinist level not just a standard Carpenter level I've seen that in the past and make sure the installer is going to use beeswax on the 3-piece slate and not Bondo. You definitely want a heavy 3-piece slate preferably one inch slate. Three quarter would be fine as well.
@LearnBilliards6 жыл бұрын
The Harry Channel make sure the table is built from solid wood and not any type of pressed board. If you were in the Orlando area I could recommend an excellent installer. And make sure the company you deal with is going to give you a warranty there's a lot of installers out there that will just do the install and if you have any issues then they become very hard to deal with. Make sure you take a ball and roll it to hit all the bumpers try every inch or so on all bumpers around a table to make sure there's no dead spots. Just to replace the rails is usually an additional $300, so look for a table that has good rail slash bumpers.
@TheHarryChanne16 жыл бұрын
Learn Billiards Sound advice for sure. The hard part here is finding someone reputable. I fully expect I may get new rails and felt when the movers assemble it...if needed. I have no problems paying professionals for their time. I really want something mid century if possible, or something new with the same look if not.

My Aramith Tournament set costs $400, Centennials $370 and Cyclops were $200, no way that I am going to throw that much value in a plastic bucket and let them grind on each other. My solution was to buy a tool made for the job of polishing balls, a Diamond ball polisher. It may have cost $500 but it will last a lifetime and I dont have to worry about my wife throwing it away with other garbage when cleaning the basement. Great effort though.
