If you want to balance your balls, please use the epsom salt method, since it's easier that way to get rid of really crooked balls - and cheaper (to find out how to do it, check out Pelz' Putting bible or Maltby's videos on youtube). So yes, save your money, and from my own experience most premium balls are very well balanced anyway. On an final note, it may be that you on a perfectly flat surface with a perfectly struck ball are able to tell a difference.

there are so many other factors that influence your putts to a (much) greater degree that this should be toward the bottom of the priority list. Maltby states in his video that most premium balls are very well balanced out of the box anyway (another person already stated that in this thread) Save your money.

This may have been more useful back in the days of wound balls, but with todays technology, it is pretty much just a gimmick.

I agree with one caveat, which is off the tee. I use the epsom salt method and put a dot on the lightest point of the ball, I use a blue dot. At the tee I put the blue dot up which, all things being equal (they never are, I know...) means my side spin based on ball variation is going to be minimized. Now, to be honest, the guys in my foursome gave me no end of grief about it.
bluemonster
You are finding an equator in a way, but you should be lining that up down the target line. As bobbers pointed out, you are potentially finding a heavy side of the ball with the epsom salt method. You want that tumbling end over end down your line, not pulling on one side. The blue dot dot pointing up on the tee is the way to go (heavy side down).
Bobbers
lol, what bluemonster said...lol Seriously, and if I'm misremembering somebody please point it out, but putting the lightest point up (my blue dot mark) and the heaviest side down, which is what I swear Pelz suggested, it minimizes potential side spin off the tee. As I said, I find the ball comes to rest with my mark in the up position, reaffirming that the inertia of the ball is causing the heavy side to end up on the bottom as it comes to rest. To the post about repeated blows causing deformation, well, I don't normally have any one ball in play that long, nor do I have the world's mightiest swing speed....

I bought a spinner several weeks ago just to break the wintertime boredom. Its true that this thing will find the same axil each time regardless of how you place the ball in it. After using it on probably 100 different balls of many different brands what I found most interesting is, that on balls with a noticable seam the seam made no difference.
sdrem
I have the original model, which works fine ( not sure what actual improvements they could make to it ). It spins the ball until the heavy spot on the ball moves to the horizontal equator, at which point you mark a line on the ball.
Richie3Jack
I've seen *some* golf balls definitely be very off balanced and could see it effecting my putts. For instance, I could putt with 3 golf balls from the same line and the first two would roll the same way and the third one would roll much differently despite stroking the putt pretty much the same way.
TMfan54
so once you find this "spot" on the ball is it best to make a dot and then hit the ball there, like with the driver and putt impacting that part of the ball? i dont have one of these check n gos but if it works ill look into getting one.
Cuda Kota
I also swear by this little gadget, and lots of people will say it's a "gimmick".
Bobbers
With no intent to slam any ball's quality, the vast, vast majority do, indeed, have a 'heavy' spot and, conversely, a light spot that normally appears opposite.
