Deal With A Pro    December 2004

It is very important to always get help from a professional on all of your bowling questions and purchases. You certainly don’t want the plumber to wire your house or a dentist to perform your automobile repairs.

One question that I am often asked is “How do I know my Pro Shop guy is a real Pro or just a guy that drills balls?” A dedicated Professional should take an interest in your game and should get all the vitals of your axis point, ball speed, rev rate and axis tilt. These items are on the drilling spec sheets at our shop and are imperative to drill a ball that will give you maximum results. They should be up to date on the latest equipment and drilling techniques.

We see bowlers, who really want to improve, taking advice from the wrong people all the time. Just because someone carries a high average doesn’t mean they can help you. What normally happens is the person is actually taking advice from more than one person and then they get more frustrated when they get conflicting information. A ball that works well for one person may not work for another.

Our staff will take a genuine interest in your game and will be more than willing to watch you throw a few shots before making a recommendation on additional equipment. The last thing we want to do is to sell you a ball that will not fit into your game plan.

Ball drilling is not the only thing your local professional can do for you. He can give you advice on shoes, wrist devices, lessons and just thoughts to help improve your game. Lessons are an awesome gift this holiday season. Gift certificates are available in our shop.

Our entire staff is available for lessons. Lesson fees are posted on this site and in our shop. Make sure you note when Chuck will be back in town to schedule a personalized lesson with him.

Within the next 30 days we will have computerized lessons available. Be sure to get the details on this state-of-the-art Bowlers Map video system. Further details will be posted on this site on the lesson page during the middle of December.
