Hi All,

Hey guys, how much would something like this cost?
This seems to be the cheapest package since it isn't the Oval-Matic or Tri-Oval Press.

Thanks everyone!

Other guys stuff is bigger and sturdier than mine.  Mine is plenty big and plenty sturdy for my needs.

I believe one can go to Home Depot or Lowes's and special order.

Prices are a little higher than mine was a few years ago for similar models...and tax must be paid(over internet I did not have to).

REgards,

Open the door...see what's possible...and just walk right on through...that's how easy success feels..

Thanks for all the help and replies guys, keep em' coming.

Deadbait, thanks for chiming in as well.

First off, what is wrong with learning how to drill, weigh, & prep your own bowling equipment? I love the game of bowling and everything about it. Although my bowling career is still in its' infancy stage (16 years) and is far from the "been there and done that," type of career you have had, I thought your comment was unfair.

First of all. It has always been my dream to one day to layout, drill & prep my own equipment. I have several other friends that love the game a bunch and would like to fulfill their dream as well.

We are not looking to get rich. We are not wealthy people. We are possibly looking to splitting the costs of the necessary equipment & tools to drill our own equipment.

I understand if you have an issue with the Manufacturers getting rich off people in which you refer to as, "Wanna be ball drillers." I could care less about that. No matter if I want to drill 1 ball or 10 balls a year, that's my choice. The ball manufacturers know where their profits are coming from.

If you are taking a shot at me by personally calling me a, "wanna-be ball driller" in the making, so be it. It has always been a dream to know how to prepare my own equipment.

With the help of a few friends and good pro shop drillers that we know, this dream can possibly be achieved. For one thing, I have the utmost respect for the good ball drillers that I've met in my life. It is a tough industry to be in. The hours they put in and the ups & downs of the economy that they have to endure.

So what's wrong with putting ourselves in our Mentors shoes and achieving the fulfillment of helping and educating ourselves and others one day...

Thanks for listening guys and I'm off my soapbox now...

Sincerely Yours,
Ram

While I agree that drilling holes in ball, if you have the right equipment, should be easily done, the real skill of a proshop operator is being able to measure and fit customers.

Drilling for yourself is one thing but drilling for pay is another.
