Sometimes if she's really good looking.

No reason to tumble them. A waste of time and an even bigger waste of money.

Only if they itch or feel out of place. :D

i had a feeling i would get some good jokes !! the only reason i see to tumble is making them a bit more uniform and it eliminates the little bit of sprue left on them ?

well you could have some other issues going on in the case of the itching !! lol

Theres a flat side anyway after you push down a properly sized patched ball. The sprue just makes it easier to see if the ball is centered or not. Tumbling is only going to give you an inconsistent ball size from one to the other.

Once in a while when I sit or step on them!
Man you're just asking for it with a question like that with this group.
But seriously NO. I use Lee moulds and they cut the sprue very close. Still visible but not enough to worry about.

Well... now we need Ol' Semisane to post the link to his "Rube Goldberg" ball tumbler that he built awhile back.
