First off welcome to the area, I’m about an hour and a half north, but Springfield is a great bowling area with Champaign, Peoria and St. Louis all not that far away with a lot of bowling action.

Now for pro shops, the one in King Pin is solid, Rick Coy’s solid 9 shop in Taylorville is great and Rick is an awesome dude. The bowlersmart in Peoria’s landmark lanes is run by Tony Schnack and he’s a great dude too. You have quite a few good options. David Bolt in Champaign is also another really good one, he’s got two shops if I remember correctly there.

The Perfect Angle Pro Shop in Washington, IL is hands down the best pro shop I've ever dealt with. They take the time to learn your game, listen to your needs, and measure you correctly. Both of the owners have bowled on the college level, one was on Team USA, and the other bowled overseas. Lots and lots of experience! You will not be disappointed!

I forget about them too, another vote for Dani and Kayla as well, pretty fortunate with the amount of options around

I did go to Brian at king pin as it was 10 minutes from where I’m currently staying and I’m very happy with the fit. Where is the best place to look for upcoming tournaments for the area?
