I'm going with no on both questions. First, pro's mark their balls and even draw lines on them. If anyone were to be concerned with altering ball flight, it would be a touring pro. Second, I can't imagine a ball washer would change the shape of a ball. And that goes for all styles of ball washers. If balls were that soft and pliable, then your driver would ruin it after one swing.

Finally, I remember when golf balls used to soak in marker, but anymore, it seems I'm always washing 'blue marker' off my driver and putter faces.
