does your pro shop guy get it?
« on: January 25, 2005, 04:54:03 AM »
I mean really, really get it??
Does he understand coverstocks?
Does he understand layouts and how they affect ball reaction?
Does he understand how you throw the ball?
Does he understand cores and how they affect ball reactions?
Does he understand the concept of an arsenal, and what YOU ACTUALLY NEED?

Or does he just want to sell you the latest hook in a box?

(added on edit)
And - most important - is he willing to share his knowledge - teach you what he knows, so you can make decisions for yourself, or does he just say "leave it to me".

The guy i go to for my ball drillings gets it very well, whether you are a beginner or a expereinced bowler. He knows what he talks about and what will work for people.

My pro shop guys "gets it" but likes to keep it to himself. MOST places I have gone, dont realize that I DO actually know some stuff about balls, drillings, coverstocks, etc. I guess because I'm 16, they just think "oh wow, another kid who wants a big hooking ball, and doesnt know a thing about the game".
