Iceman,
from your posts, and going out to get a coach, I see that you obviously are not ready to throw in the towel. You just need to move on and start fresh. Leave the old driller behind. I know of all your "sideline crap" as I ran into the same issue with the same ball driller. The problem I had was every ball I would take him to have drilled ended up having a rev leverage layout. I had no idea that this didn't work for me until I decided to test the waters and venture off to another pro shop (buddie's).
Chris took a look at all of my equipment. 4 out of 5 balls were drilled incorrectly. He fixed them and now the layouts on my equipment have all been fixed, and I'm bowling better than ever. I chalked it up to a learning experience
Don't let one bad pro shop turn you away from the game. Stick with the coach, have someone layout your equipment who knows your style, but also knows how to drill the equipment correctly.
just my two cents..... keep the change
