I've been out of the game for about 8 years now and the my equipment is a little out dated. I am looking to get some new equipment so I wanted to see if I could get some suggestions on where the best pro shops are in the S.F. Bay Area. I don't know if the same people still own the shops that owned them 8 years ago and there are hardly any reviews that I can find online. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
Mike

I live in Concord so Antioch isn't that far. I'm willing to go anywhere in the Bay Area as long as the shop is good!

The pro shop at Delta Bowl  Lane 37 The Pro Shop 925-778-1248. Come on by!
Kim Terrell helped me at this shop. Leanne is now working for Storm in Utah I was told. When she lived in Antioch with Kim both were in my shop!

Thanks Raiderboy! I'll see if I can stop by in the next few weeks to check out the shop!

Thanks for the good words Doug! I also offer the Tri Grip system!

Let me add my recommendations for Gene (RaiderH2Oboy). When I lived in the Bay Area, I had Gene drill up a few peices of equipment for me, some I bought there and others I bought elsewhere and brought in. He did a great job, copied spans from existing equipment exactly and got everything perfect. He does a great job. If you go in looking to buy, he has the latest and greatest as well some slightly older peices (at least he did at the time) and his prices are good. He does a great job and is also a great guy. If you get the chance stop by.
 
Now this was about 10-12 years ago, so I assume he has only gotten better with age, just like a fine wine . And I know he has the latest and greatest equipment like the Tri Grip system and the surface scanner (forget the technical name) that he has talked about on these forums before.
