Moving to Charlotte, NC Need help finding a good Pro Shop!!
« on: July 15, 2007, 02:45:02 AM »
Hey everyone,

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!
~Aaron

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.

Have to jump back in here ..WILLIAMROX1 mentions DURHAM and Jim PERKINS .. I know Jim .. bowled with him .. although he hasn't drilled balls for me .. I have a buddy who had a problem with his delivery .. Jim took the time to watch my friend then re-drilled one of his balls. My buddy was so satisfied he took his remaining three balls and had them re-done. This friend's average has been growing ever since.

Another note .. JIM PERKINS is a HECK OR A NICE GUY!

You can't go wrong going to see Leon. He takes his time and makes sure you are happy with your purchase. He will not sell you a ball just to make a sale and he will not sell you only Ebonite or Hammer product. If he thinks some other brand of ball will fit your game better then he will recommend it. If he doesn't know you he will want to watch you bowl so take your equipment with you. He also has a great eye for coaching. He is one of the two people I will take advice from. The other being Ron Clifton.

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

Welcome to Charlotte
