This is a public thank you to Lonce aka Next Level PS.  After helping my friend Vernon aka FBM357 here on BR for about 4 months now, we finally found a knowledgeable and skilled ball driller...Lonce.

FBM complained to me about his span, pitches and then his old driller even went against my suggested drilling for his Rule which then he had to correct and FBM saw the true strength of that ball once it was corrected (tell them Vern).  FBM mentioned that NLPS wasn't too far from him so I recommended he go see him and what a great decision that was.  After spending a few hours in the shop, Lonce came to the same conclusions I did and helped correct these things with Vernon.  Lonce even got on the phone with me (after explaining to Vern) to discuss and explain what he did and I wanted to make sure we were on the same page.  Lonce drilled up Vern's FreakaZoid and GP2 (my choices..) and Vern says they feel great. If any of you guys are near NLPS, give him a look up, he's a great guy.  Thanks for the help Lonce....

FBM's "ALL" yours now bud...lol

LMAO@you guys!

Hey, I want to be the first to honestly thank Rick for the countless hours we talk on the phone (change your clock to EST guy! .. LOL)  Whether it be bowling and/or life in general, there's always something to chat about.  Though I already had what I thought a pretty good grasp on bowling, you've shed a great deal of light proving I'm a mere neophyte to the game.  I owe you a GREAT DEAL!!!

I happened to come across Next Level via reading a few of his posts.  After talking with Rick a great deal, I decided to venture out (i.e. seek another driller).  I then PM'd NLPS in which he asked a few questions concerning my decision to seek help elsewhere.  I hadn't a problem but actually became enthused with the fact he "asked".  Very impressed with his approach.  After speaking to Rick concerning my intent to see NLPS, which Rick has talked to on occasion, it was a go.

I must say, meeting NLPS (Lonce) was a pure delight.  Very professional and knowledgeable.  He immediately took time (he had knowledge of my issues from Rick) to help.  Doing things my previous driller didn't take time to do.  I gave Rick a call on my cell while there and later let him speak to Lonce.  Funny, the very same things Rick mentioned to me, Lonce was right on point!  It was assuring that they were on the same page!!!!

I'm very pleased with the work Lonce has done for me.  Though changes in my game have yet to yield results, I'm sure as time goes on, it will increase tenfold!

To anyone who is looking for or in need of a top notch driller, you can't find anyone better than Lonce @ Next Level Pro Shop.  Though I still speak with Rick, he's too damn far to drill my stuff... LMAO  I am confident in Lonce to assist me in my bowling endeavors, hence ALL of my current equipment as well as future equipment will be done by him.

Owe both a GREAT DEAL!!! .... *sobbing* ... LMAO

On the real, great guys and I bet you won't find anyone better!

Vernon

BTW, charlest, LOL.. you got that right!!!  I enjoy bowling just as much as the next guy (perhaps more) and am always looking to better my game.  Best thing about it all, I get to meet some really genuine people (i.e. You, Rick, Lonce and host of others).
