Also got the foot pedal for 29.95...... Thanks to the moderator on this site for guiding me to the better suppliers!
Can’t wait to experiment! I will probably wind up with a 15lb bowling ball the size of a marble!!! LoL Can having a spinner be a lot like plastic surgery???? You have to know when to JUST STOP!!! My thoughts being of Michael Jackson!

Maybe you should start with your spare ball until you get the hang of it. Don't do friends balls for free either. Once you do, to be nice, they expect it all the time and the supplies aren't free.

Tips-
The top of the ball sands faster than the sides.

Abralon pads, a lot of users mark them with the start date or number of balls done with it To keep track of how wore they have gotten. Also keep them rinsed out, they'll cut better.

Don't lean on it. (This means don't use excessive pressure on your pads or paper.)

You can't have too many towels, (Terry cloth preferred)

The manual and dvd that come with the spinner are worth their weight in...well gold is pretty high right now but at least silver. Lots of good info about setting up a ball arsenal.

Congrats on the new purchase Mike! Let us know how it goes with the spinner. Me and my bowling buddy have been discussing getting one together for a few weeks now.

I would recommend testing this out on a old ball that you don't use anymore. That way if it ends up the size of a marble, you would still have the balls you use all the time. Doesn't sanding a ball also bring it "back to life", so to speak? You can also polish after sanding and make it have a nice finish like it was new. Maybe it will get you using those old balls instead of buying new ones. Seems like a great $200 spent since by doing this you are able to bring a ball back to almost new conditions......hmmmmm...thinking if I could justify getting one to the wife.
