Question about Buff-A-Ball
« on: October 15, 2011, 11:46:50 AM »
Does anyone here still use one of those buff-a-ball slings and if so how well do they work when it comes to polishing balls. I don't own a spinner but plan to invest into getting one next year so for now I do all my cleaning and polishing by hand.

Ineffective for polishing - it is, at best, an alternative for a towel to wipe a ball's surface. If you want to polish a ball properly, use a spinner (IMHO one of the better investments you can make when you want to build your arsenal and maintain your equipment), or ask at your local pro shop for this nifty service.

In my experience, they work pretty well when doing a maintenance polish such as Reacta-shine. If you want the full resurface with the polish included, go to the pro shop.
 
Also, if you don't have the funds to just go buy a spinner or take your stuff to the pro shop every week, these work great.
