Polished balls can easily be dulled on a spinner. Besides, they look better on the shelf polished, so I think this is a good marketing ploy. The bigger question is why do they have a particle fetish? I have my opinions but they would be unfair and most likely outspoken.
Having said that I think AMF300 is establishing itself as a quality manufactorer very well. AMF hasn't had the best of reputations until the last year or so and full credit to the guys there now who have turned things around.
