Hey guys, I will be traveling to the Megabuck tournaments next month. My buddy and I are planning to check out different Pro Shops just for the heck of it.
There are a plethora of bowling alleys in Vegas & North Las Vegas and I am guessing all with Pro Shops. Last year, I had my free ball from the TAT drilled at Texas Station. Local Pro Joe Salvemini helped me out and was great.
Maybe mrbowlingnut or anyone else can help me out here.
How is K&K bowling supply (a.k.a. bowlinglasvegas.com)
Where are they located and are they knowledgable?
Is Terry Leong still drilling in Vegas? (Bracket Creep any info?)
How would you rate each Pro Shop in Vegas?
Who has the best prices?
Most knowledgable?
Thanks!
Ram

I would go with K & K bowling either at flamingo and jones near the gold coast or K & K in green valley at pecos and wigwam. Call 876-2695 ask if johnny D is there or at the other shop tell him you are a tournamnet bowler and what you ball needs are. He has drilled at the nationals in the past for at least 10 years and knows what these patterns do and what layout will work and what balls. He is super honest and personable guy if you already have the right stuff but a surface change is all you need he will tell you that. Sakae is another driller they have that is very very good so dont be afraid of using him either, i trust either guy but johnny has the experience factor at these mega buck tournaments.
I heard legends balls at the silver nugget are dirt cheap, the driller out there is ok he name is Phil i have not had him drill a ball for me in years though. But i hear they sell the legends for under 200 drilled which is dirt cheap for some of there line.
Stay away from sam's town pro shop high prices and lynn is as lazy as you can get for being helpful. Last time he drilled me a ball it was off 1/8 on one finger and a full 1/4 on the other finger and that was him measuring off a ball that i brought in. He is a very nice guy but really is time clock puncher when it comes to being accurate.
