Mark (et al.), I think that any discussion about the effectiveness of these methods should be based of an accuracy analisys of the equipment/procedures involved. We all agree that car wheel dynamic balancing is far superior than static; but the equipment used is designed to achieve a certain degree of accuracy.
I've never seen a ball spinner. Anybody have access to a known accuracy equipment to make a comparison? Ciao, Marcello "Mark A.
