your pro shop guy should know all that. there is a standard sheet for weight hole size and depth..

You expect him to drill the ball for free?

So let me get this straight, your going to drill this ball up yourself?

65$ is a reasonable price bringing it in from elsewhere. I just drilled my NVS that I ordered off bowling.com - and my driller charged me 65$ included slugs and grips.

$65.00 not including grips and slugs,or $65.00 for any info. this is after over $1000 worth of balls and equipment I have purchased from him in the 6 years.. I dont expect him to do it for free, and yeah from now on I'm drilling all my stuff.

Unless you have ALL the equipment to layout, drill and weigh a ball why would you save a few bucks and drill it yourself. Makes no sense to me..

I also $65 is way to much to drill a ball especially if the guy doesn't want to weigh it for you and drill a weight hole if needed.. Making sure the ball is legal should be included in the price of any drilling..

If you drilled it by the #1 drilling go over 4 inches from center of grip then up 1 inch, depending on the top weight it will be a 15/16 bit 1 inch to 2.5 inches.
