Perhaps "Brick and Mortar" pro shops. Those in Bowls and strip centers, not just on the internet. They are where the real work gets done, not just a sale with a $5 profit. Most of the price of a ball is in the fitting, layout, drilling, and delivery of the ball( finishing the thumb and teaching the bowler how to tape properly). This includes watching the bowler bowl, finding their pap, and advising ball selection and layout. It also includes educating and helping the bowler get the surface prep right for their game, where they bowl. In my shop, I also included some free lessons. You can't get all of this on the internet. Yet, brick and mortar pro shops are dying because bowlers do not realize the value of the aforementioned services.

Pretty decent 70s band that had a hit with "Dazz," which was sampled in Ice Cube's "No Vaseline."

Oh, you meant what does it mean in bowling...

A missed free throw is also called a brick!

Could also be Brickyard

BRICKYARD
    Derogatory term for a bowling center that is notorious for low scores. Same as "grave yard".

Could you use it in a sentence for reference?

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

The "Brick and Mortar" is what makes sense.  I agree pooh.  I might buy my ball online because you cant beat some of the deals.  A Jigsaw in my normal shop runs 175 before drilling.  Add drilling and you're over 200.  You get a discount on the drilling, but still.  I can get that ball for 130 and pay the 50 for drilling and I'm still ahead.   But thanks for letting me know what it is.  I just didnt know!
