Default Greasing bearings front bearings/ Bearing Buddies?

I just replaced my front bearings on my 2003 TXT. I greased the bearings good, but wondering about using something like Bearing Buddies to be able to really pack the grease in there?

Thanks

Personally, I think that would be a wasted expense, unless the cart is constantly going through streams and/or giant puddles.

I was just trying to figure out a way to make sure the bearings are full of grease. I get a "roaring" from the bearings after only a few days after greasing them.

Is the inside seal good or do you have grease all over the inside of the wheel?

I haven't noticed any grease getting slung out.

Would the grease not make it's way all the way to the inside bearing by using a bearing buddy?

Yes it will, it squeezes through the outer bearing then fills the cavity in
the hub and squeezes through the inner bearing at which point most people
unknowingly add too much and it slings out all over things.
Pack the bearings, put the hub on, pump some grease in the center, install outer bearing and install hubcap with some grease in it.
