Ball Spinner Torque
« on: January 26, 2014, 03:07:34 PM »
I am purchasing a ball spinner. I have done a lot of research including reading the ball spinner threads on Ball Reviews and checking the websites of Vertex, Innovative Products, Donkee, and Jayhawk. From what I have read, torque is a major factor, but I could not locate any torque specifications for any spinner. Jayhawk touts its spinners as having the most torque on the market, although Jayhawk spinners appear to be much more expensive than the other brands. Horsepower is listed but not torque. Is torque simply a function of horsepower-more horsepower more torque?

Many thanks in advance for any comments, suggestions, or recommendations.

Was inquiring about shipping for an Innovative and Vertex, still waiting for a response from Vertex.  Was given an approximation of $100 from Innovative.   :(

Donkee was about $50 for shipping, but don't want to go that route just to save money on shipping.

Strange, when I bought my innovative ball spinner it cost $16 shipping, but I live 2 states from them so maybe that is cheaper than some.

Those shipping figures are extremely high. Check the Vertex website. Unless I misread it, you get FREE shipping on orders at $199.00 and above. Most "personal" ball spinners weigh about 21-23 pounds. You can ship a 16 pound bowling ball for $20.00 or so.

Sorry guys, forgot to add that the shipping is to the 50th state.  (Hawaii)
We always get stuck with high shipping costs for just about everything.
