Try Eddie Byrd at Best Pro Shop.  He is now at St. Charles Lanes.  PM me if you want the phone number there.  Great service and every ball feels exactly the same.

I can second Mike Mineman at St. Claire Bowl. The other guys in the shop do great work also.

Hi JR,

All of the above are good choices.  Where are you located at? Some of these may be quite a distance from you, and there may be better choices a little closer to you.  I don't have any personal experience with his drilling, but I know a number of customers who have used Mark Thomas at Strike and Spare as well.
