It seems really hard to figure out where to get good work done, but I want to make sure that my next ball is done right the first time. It just seems that everyone you ask has their guy that they've gone too forever, ya know? I've gotten all my work done thus far at Hawthorne Lanes, and I'm definitely not unhappy with it, but just want to get a feel for some of the good drillers in the area.

Anyone around the Joliet area might try Tom Hinz at T&D Bowling and awards inside Town and Country lanes. Top 100 Coach again this year. Good bowler, made the cut again this year at the Masters. Teaches some of the top high school bowlers in the state. Has Bowlers Map and in two weeks will have the NEW DIGITRAK system. I think one hour on the Bowlers Map and Digitrak will be about $75 for an hour plus he gives you a CD or DVD of the lesson. He does a great job.

I use Brian Spiller (Bolingbrook AMF lane) He has great customer service skills and is knowledgeable in bowling. He also coaches. I also have kids, Brian takes time to talk to them, and that makes them feel special. Like they our not number. That is why I go to him. I had my work done somewhere else but they made you fell as if you do not know krap. In All Brian knows what he is doing

If you are near Rockford Illinois Tom Carter at Bowlers Universe inside of Cherry Bowl is one of the best in our area. He has helped me quite a bit and has realley helped my game. He has alot of expertise and knowledge of the game.

I had a YABA IL State tournament at those lanes nearly 10 years ago, I needed a ball for more oil so he drilled me up a Brunswick Zone Proactive Azure for the doubles and singles event, great person to deal with.

You might be thinking of somebody else. Tom Carter just moved into the Cherry Bowl recently. None the less Tom Carter is good, he drills all of my stuff.

Quite possible.

Greg Grocke from Bowlway Lanes in Elgin has been layed up for a little while. He had emergency surgery, so he has not been to his shop. I bowl with him on Thursday nights. He has been pretty sick. So say a few prays for him.

PS I put my vote in for Ron Dompke as a quality ball driller. Been drilling my stuff for about 25 years now. Keep getting talked into going other places, but always end up in the same place. Ronnie is a good guy, and know his stuff.
