Drilling method
« on: March 25, 2012, 01:08:45 AM »
Could someone explain to me why I am seeing more and more balls for sale (used) that the ball driller scratch the layout instead of using a yellow pencil. I would be pissed if I bought a new ball and pro shop handed me a ball scrached up.

If you're talking about what I'm thinking of, some drillers use this to mark up the Bowlers span. It's much more of an accurate way to layout a ball using this precision tool. Not saying the conventional way is not accurate..

For me, I don't mind it. It's just a bowling ball and it'll get jacked up anyway.

It's tacky and stupid....the drillers on the tour truck don't do it anymore....why do regular Joes like us need it?

 Some are easily impressed.
