You will not regret buying a spinner. I have owned one for several years and it has been a good investment for me. Cab blocks are nice and if people use them it is really just a matter of choice. Cab blocks will help you keep even pressure on the ball and prevent rounding the holes in the ball after several times of use. I started using clear plastic packing tape to cover the thumb hole, mainly to keep the water or polish out of the thumb hole. I realized that this will also prevent rounding the holes. The slugs and grips will wear down your abralon pads quicker than anything, even with light pressure. Have fun with your new toy.
