Cleaning balls with a spinner
« on: February 21, 2007, 05:13:53 AM »
If you have a ball spinner and clean and polish your balls after every use, will they ever lose their reaction even after say 150 games or so?

I've been cleaning mine after every set without a spinner and they last after 150 games just fine.  Of course, the spinner is even better.

150 games isn't crap, I would hope that balls aren't dying after 150 games...

Good info. Im gonna get one in a few weeks and I wanna make sure its legit. Im starting to like Ebonite balls again but I hate the fact that they die so fast so I wanna make sure I can make them last.

If you're cleaning and polishing without removing the old polish, you could be just adding more and more polish to the ball.  I can see how that would make the ball appear to lose reaction.
