Northern IL bowlers-William Clark in Des Plaines
« on: June 22, 2005, 02:01:15 PM »
I am going to see him tomorrow in an attempt to find a competent ball driller.  I talked to him on the phone, and he was a very nice guy.  I am actually excited.  Anyone out there go to him?  I just want assurance that I made a good choice.  It's a short trip in (about an hour).

Raven,
I have heard nothing but good things about William, and contrary to popular opinion, being expensive is not necessarily a bad thing.  In general, as Mycroft said, you get what you pay for.

Good luck!

Hey Rick, nice to see a fellow ABTer here.    It's Ryan Finley, the son of Dolores Finley if that helps place me.    I personally have been going to Brian Chilcutt at Hawthorn, and he is on the pricey side as well.  You have any recommendations for other good drillers in our area?

William has drilled over 50 balls for myself and I also have several friends and family that goto William as well. Everyone has their own definition of expensive but, like everyone says, you get what you pay for. From my experience, every ball that I have purchased from William has been worth everything I have paid and then some. I have tried other proshops in the past and for myself, and they do not provide the knowledge, availability, selection and customer service William prvides at the Bowlers ER.

Thanks for all the replies.  I am not worried about price-it would be priceless for me to find someone that can give me a ball that fits well and actually matches up to my game.  I will report back when I get home.  I'm sure I will be very happy.
