I've been on BR for a fairly long time, so I know that I can come on here and get your honest opinions about where to look for a new Pro Shop. My wife and I are relocating to Charlotte, NC and I'd like to know where I should consider to take my business for drilling my equipment.
Can you give me some ideas about what shops to go talk to, so I can get a feel for their way of doing things?
Thanks in advance and please let me know what you think!

I noted this on BR many years ago and Pro Shop owners told me I was wrong/wrong/wrong! Well .. 8 years later I still feel the same way. I've bought NUMEROUS balls since I've been here .. ALL ON THE WEB! Never been disappointed and saved PLENTY of money!

but I believe at the George Pappas Park Lanes
there is Strike-Mor Pro Shop
if Hal is still drilling the balls (he is the owner of the proshop), he is an excellent driller

You can't go wrong there. He may cost a little bit, but he's worth every penny.

Leon is a great guy one of the best in NC. He is my Boss I do work at the Right Approach and we do have 4 locations. I was trained by him and Mike Whittington who has been in the business a long time too. Leon has ONE reginal title lets not get crazy lol. I would be glad to help you anyway we can. He is an ebonite staffer so of course Ebonite and Hammer is what we deal with mostly although we do carry and order everything and anything. I myself also throw primarily Ebo/Hammer stuff. Info is in my profile.

I can't say anything about Jesse. He won't drill my stuff for some reason.
