    Quoted from bkaelin:

    The balls came with two games I recently picked up. They weren't awful before tumbling, but they sure are bad now...

    Do the games have magnets? As you might be better off replacing them with carbon-steel balls as opposed to chrome (chrome will work but can become magnetised quicker)

    Quoted from RyanStl:

    I throw my old balls in recycle bin. Good or bad way to dispose? Obviously, tumbling doesn't work base on pics above.

    They're metal balls, so no reason why they can't be recycled.

    Personally I've not tumbled balls but I believe people have posted about successfully doing this is the past - the issue here might be that the ball is a chrome ball rather that carbon-steel or potentially due to the combination of walnut and Novus
