    Default One Stop Bowling Ball spa!

    [B]Do they make bowling ball sanding machines that clean, and you can select the surface you want, 350, 500, 1000, ect? Or are there machines that clean/polish/sand? Coin operated?[/B]

    DAMN! It exists. If that hadn't already existed, I almost was gonna get mad at Mike for putting a potential million dollar idea out there like that!

    Didn't they stop having this type of machine in the bowling alleys because the machine would actually damage the ball? Or have they improved them that much?

    If I ever get enough money, we will develop our own. This machine is associated with Storm. We'll make our own machine not connected to any bowling companies and we'll get it USBC approved, and place them in alleys all over the country! The million dollar dream is still alive!

    $10GRAND?!?!?!?! Holy cow that IS a lot for a simple machine. Make me wonder how many of these Storm has sold to bowling alleys and pro shops. I guess if the bowling alley is making a ton of money, they could justify getting one. But with the number of places that have closed its doors around me. It seems like the bowling alleys around me would be better off spending that $10 grand on something else.

    Has anyone used this one before? Or, even have a bowling alley or pro shop that has one? Seems all the pro shops use a ball spinner and does it themselves.
