You have to be really, really good.  Or have connections.  Alot of staffers now a days work at a proshop and thats how they get on staff, because they can help the company selling equipment.  It is nearly impossible if you are just a regular league bowler and don't know someone who is already with a company.

BowlingDude300,

  A staff bowler sounds good, but let me tell you something.  I am not on a staff, but I was approached once.  I was in a tournament and doind exceptionally well.  I had made it through the first two rounds and had gotten some attention.

  There was a rep there, I won't mention the company, who asked me if I had ever thrown their companies stuff.  I said yes, but not in a long time.  He offered to drill me up a couple of balls and let me try them, providing that I use them if I made it to the rolloff round.  I told him that was very generous, but if I made it to the finals, I was going to use whatever I thought it would take to win and if it was something made by someone else that he could not duplicate, that I would be using the other ball.

 I was told that I would NEVER make anyones staff with that attitude, but that's O.K. .  If I have to lose to get free balls and sponsorship, then to heck with it.

  No, I didn't win.  Neither did the guy throwing their brand of ball either. I don't know if he black balled me or something, but nobody else ever approached me about it again.
