good pro shop indianapolis,indiana
« on: March 19, 2010, 03:59:50 PM »
as  the  title  states.

this  is  for  my  sister  as  she  has  told  me  she  don't  care  for  the  shop  at  the  house  she  bowls  in.
1.  she  throws  (and  I  do  mean  throws )  16lb  equipment.  
2.  is  speed  dominate (slowest  I've  seen  is  18mph),  practically zero  revs
I  tease  her  about  that  she  should  just  get  a  cannonball.

shop  ...1  don't  carry  many  balls  over  14lbs  and  carries  0  16lbs  balls.
2  told  her  that  an  arsenal  aggressive wasn't  worth  resurfacing  cause  it  would  cost  her  more  than  a  new  ball?
3  told  her  the  only  balls  that  would  be  good  for  her  are  (mission  or  reign)  because get  this  ...they  are  dull....     ummmm   what  about  adjusting  coverstocks.

she  has  other  gripes  but  didn't  go  into  them.

not  sure  of  what  shop(s)  she  has  gone  to  but  I  do  know  she  needs  help  (that  is  affordable).
I've  tried  to  get  her  to  slow  down  
she  never  has  had  a  good  reaction  to  pro  shops  since  1  told  her  she didn't  no  how  to  bowl  unless  she  went  to  a  5  step  delivery  and  lost  the  high  backswing. been  hesitate around  them  since.

Austin above would prolly agree but the Best Pro Shop in Indiana is Hindel Pro Shop in Hindel Bowl.  Ran by Steve Lang with Help of Gary Hiday and Mark Sullivan.  They are an awesome group of guys that years of experience drilling as well as bowling!  Have to say they are the only ones I would use in indy...Sorry Don Mitchell Pro Shops okay realy not but figured it would help.

Don Mitchel pro shop inside woodland bowl is by far the best in the state. Chase will not suggest a ball unless he sees your throw it he will lay it out off you PAP then get you lined up with it after he drills it. Hindel is ok good people but the dont go out on the lanes to help at all.

she didn''''t give names of shops (weather she went to more than 1 i dont know)

The pro shop guy that told her that stuff in the past was a guy in IL. that did the drilling for our whole family.   to this day i have yet to find anyone that i like since his passing (might just give the guy that took over his shop -- learned from him a shot)

Her problems with shops might be of her own making but i do know from some shops ive gone to even if you throw 16 they still try and stick you with 14/15''''s(first question i ask when going in is if they carry 16lbs, if not i walk right out) and for her i would hate to see a 14 lb in those hands.


when shes told to slow down she comments that michelle feldman has a high ball speed (she never seems to understand the revs of it though).

She doesn't need a new ball or a pro shop, she needs a good coach!  --  JohnP

+1 Here!

High speed and no revs is as much a problem as no speed and high revs. Sure, one can get by on the easiest of shots, but your sister will enjoy the game more if she can close the gap between speed and revs a bit.
