Bowling Ball Spinner

**vdubtx** · 02-21-2014, 12:16 AM

How many use a ball spinner at home? Have been keeping my eye out for one for awhile. Buddy of mine has a 3/4 hp spinner, not sure what brand, that I am going to trade him a ball for. I have a 16lb Brunswick ball that I can't throw that we worked out a trade for the spinner.

Now, I need to learn how to use it and get some pads and polish etc to use with it. Will have the spinner in a few weeks. Excited to be able to surface my balls on my own.

The Spinner from Innovative comes with some reading material on how best to use it.

Let me know if you need it, I'll scan a copy for you.

I suggest you get some kind of large container, or "flower pot" to contain any liquids that will be flung off the ball.

I had a large circle of debris on my garage floor from when I first tried the spinner.

You can't just put the spinner on a table and turn it on.

It's quite likely that with a ball on it, the damn thing will shake the table violently.

Thats why it ended up in the middle of the garage floor at first.

I will be ordering mine soon for sure. I had already ordered one a few weeks ago and it was shipped but the truck got stuck in the vicous snow storm that paralized the entire city of Atlanta, thankfully I survived :-), but my package was lost. My money was refunded and I need to order it again, but have started to look at other spinners and have not made up my mind between the Innovative, Donkey, and Vertex.

I enjoy tinkering with stuff so it will be a valuable tool for me.

I WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT A SPINNER PERIOD!!

1. Makes cleaning your bowling balls a breeze, and does it MUCH BETTER THEN by hand, NO comparison !

2. Easy and saves you money on trying out different surfaces

3. Resurfacing a ball

4. Applyin polish, and feeling the heat as it penetrates the ball, (can't be done by hand) to that degree! Also applies the polish much more evenly!

Yes, it can be messy,,, I have built a removable wooden shiled that goes around the work area! It folds up when not in use.

The innovative spinner, which is what Iceman has, comes with lots of free stuff,,, polish, ect! IT also comes with a DVD, and work booklet.

Believe me a ball for a spinner is a steal!!!! Next to my Wife, My spinner is my second great love!!

I bet your son and grandkids would not be too happy to hear that

I dont have a spinner and dont have any plans on purchasing on at this time. If I need to use one I will just use the one in the proshop.

OOPS!!!

My sons and grand kids rate much higher LOL,,, but in regards to bowling, I would trade how ever many balls I had to, in order to have a spinner!

You should give one a Spin, tccstudent!

Just don't buy a DONKEE spinner...Sorry DONKEE, but the pully on the bottom below the ball will not stay on!!! The set screw is crap!!

I have to fix it every time I use it!! I will be buying a different brand next time for sure!!!

You will love having your own ball spinner!!!

..I would love mine if it would stop breaking...I had to drill a hole all the way through the shaft, and it still comes loose. The vibration is too much for it to handle, So I will be buying the type that Pro Shops use next time!!
