No tb, no blems here. If they were blems I would have stated that in the description. I just got a REALLY good deal due to my affiliation with one supplier and my Storm VIP Shop status.

I don't think Doug is out of line with his pricing...  I mean, $35 to drill it up with thumb slug and inserts is a good deal (I'm remembering a thread from a few months ago about shops charging $60 or more for the same).  If you can get someone to do that for $20 then I suggest you stay there cause there aren't many who are willing to give away services for next to nothing.

As for the ball, $140 when they're selling elsewhere for $199 - I'd say it's a good deal.  Maybe you could find a better one, but this isn't bad.

Why, WHY won't the last one just fall??  It's WIGGLING for cryin' out loud!!

Ok.....you buy from Doug....save some cash(always nice).....have him drill it.  What do you do if you get it back and a mistake was made or there is some tweaking to be done?  You gonna send it back to Doug?  I dont think so.

On the PBA Show, you saw, I saw, they all saw, NO BUZZSAW.  Go figure!

Thanks for the defensive words pnj but it's not needed... if people choose to run off at the mouth about topics they have no knowledge of, let them do it. I have never drilled a ball for Darren and he knows it.

Ask SawMill or Typhoon or Axeweldr about my drilling. I have never had 1 single complaint about my drilling, but nobody ever asked about that. I have numerious references but I have only ever had 1 person ask about them. Ask Brickguy221 about how thorough I am in getting specs and making sure I understand what they mean.

What happens if something is wrong? simple....I STAND BEHIND MY WORK. If it is my fault, I replace the ball AND pay the shipping to get the old one back.
Case in point...

I had a guy buy a Deuce late this spring. He liked the reaction of his Trauma ER (until the core cracked) so I drilled it the same exact way. He was less than happy with the reaction. The ER actually hooked more than the Deuce. So I replaced the ball....no questions asked. He was very concerned that I would be cutting myself short. I said too bad if I lose money on the deal...it's my fault and I'll fix it.  That's right....you heard me...NEW BALL I didn't plug the old one and redo it...because it was my fault as a driller.

Now if you give me the wrong specs, it's not my fault. I drilled a Spare Storm for someone and I drilled it exact to the specs he gave me...well he complained it was too short. The spec sheet he gave me said Full Grip on it so I asked if that meant it was the total span, he said yes. So I drilled it as that was the full grip. Well it wasn't. Was that my fault? no. I did offer to pay to have his local shop fix it. The guy said he didn't want a "new" plugged ball. So we compromised and I gave him a better ball off my used rack...I think it was a storm eraser or something in place of the spare storm and I paid shipping to get it back.

As I have said...I am about customer service. 5 years at WalMart taught me that much...the customer is what matters. Profits are nice but make the people happy and they come back. If I am in the wrong, I'll make it right. If it was due to wrong information coming my way, we'll work something out.

5 years of the business, 100's of balls drilled and 2 mistakes. Not bad in any arena...

I echo and support pnj's comments as he is correct in saying what he said.....And ditto for what Doug said about getting specs and understanding what they mean. Let me tell you, he gets it right down to the smallest detail and leaves no stones unturned.......To sum it up, he makes sure we're both "singing out of the same hymn book" before drilling. As for maybe having to tweak the ball, that isn't going to happen if you give him the correct information to begin with.
