I think my ball driller is good one of the best but, he doesn't share it. He won't tell me my measurements because he says its a secret. I will tell him of a suggestion that I got for a drill of this sight and he says they don't know what they are talking about. He thinks he knows everything but I know nothing.
He says the guys who give you drilling advise for track, ebonite, brunswick bowlingballs etc..are just trying to get you buy a ball. They really don't know the best way to drill it (go fiqure). I go to him because he can plug and drill a ball and get it back to you the next day and because if you don't have all the money for a ball he'll let you take it and pay him later. Thats cool but the mark up is usually fifty bucks more. I asked him about an old power groove proactive black that he had on the shelf ( correct me if i'm mistaken), he said the ball was new. I said that ball came out in like 2003. He said it just came out this year. Did they make another one or re-release it? He just wants to charge me more than what its worth. I think that i'll go back to the local bowling alley pro shop. They aren't the best but they have a tear system. The more you buy the lower your price gets. If you're a good customer they will wet sand a ball for you for free, not charge you tax on an item etc..If only they would tell you if they think a particular drill won't work for you. I had to find out the hard way. Once I get my measurements I can put to full use some of the suggestions that I get from some of the guys on this sight. I experienced enough and read enough over the last 15 years that i've been bowling to get the benefit of the dought from any proshop guy.
