Just brought my son to see Jim for a new ball yesterday. He brought him out on the lanes and rolled a few frames with him first. Then he explained the difference between matte and gloss finish and showed how the weight inside the ball works before helping us choose. And we didn't end up with the most expensive ball. A real pro. Good recommendation coach.

There's nothing like the feeling you get walking into a pro shop.... And the rep is never there.

I’m getting a new ball this weekend to prepare for my first year of high school bowling! 😀

Sleeping on the couch is my forte! Haha 😂

Moved to Bremerton, WA and got new ball drilled by Pro in Silverdale. Axis Point, Curtis Messer Sr. did such a great job, that I got 2 more! Switched to 15 lbs and then needed new 15 lbs. spare. Got New Vapor Zone first and 2 days ago, got a Notorious to fill out my Arsenal!

Every time I wanted a new ball, I research of what are the specs of the ball such how early it hooks, if it has more length, or what conditions can be bowled on and once I picked the ball I wanted, me and my dad will buy a ball from Amazon and got the Ball Drill at my local Pro Shop.

I don't know if I could just laugh it off if somebody drilled my ball wrong. He was OK letting them fix the ball? I don't know if I would be content with that solution. If I wanted a "fixed" ball, I'd buy a used ball. More than likely, the pro shop would be buying the ball and giving me a new one. If I bring you a brand new ball, I expect to leave your shop with a brand new ball. Not a repaired ball.

man wish i saw this before i just got my first ball. the pro shop owner didn’t ask how i threw the ball, grip, style, or anything. just asked me what ball i want, took my measurements, and drilled it. wish i would’ve said something.

good segment Art. i used to work a few blocks away at Mineola Bicycle & Mower. Jim's pro shop on one side of Jericho and Pete's Golf Shop on the other. Can't beat that combo !!!

thank you for a great vid!

Didn't know Tim Roth's brother ran a Pro Shop. lol

Love the humor!

My wife points to the ball return and says...."What ball is that?"......my reply..."That's my ball!!!!" Really good to talk to you in Vegas, hope to run into you again. This is a real good video, I was at the mercy of bad fitters for years till I came across a guy that understood an easy fix. He has since passed away then I met Mo Pinel. He also watched me bowl and layed out a ball and we discussed fittings. I try not to knock anyone but I have found that many drillers know how to put holes in balls but struggle to actually meet their needs.Keep up the good work...

I need a bowling ball

What are some good beginner bowling balls I’m trying to get into bowling more

I know of 2 excellent ball drillers. Tommy Pelham fron Gardner Ten Pins Gardner MA and John Zawalick from DJ's Pro Shop Auburn MA.

Good video but could do with a pop shield.

Greetings, Art ... wonderful channel! :) Can you possible recommend any pro shops in the Chicago area? As odd as it sounds (for such a big city), they are very lackluster and quite hit-or-miss! :(

i’m still waiting for the how to make your living room couch as comfy as a bed video

I trust Dave Bolles, PSO of Bowling Outfitters Pro Shop; Pacific Ave Bowl; Stockton, CA

Al wolf III and Greg Davis down at bowler depot in bowlero wheatridge

I bought a new Quantum Bias and am wondering how it should be drilled. I don't want the pro shop guy to simply measure my fingers and drill it; I want it to be drilled properly to get out of the ball all I can based on my skill level and expectations of utilizing its hooking potential. What should I say?

So the pro shop don't drill it?

Nice video

the only thing i need to find out about my game is my rev rate, 1 guy that was bowling with me said somewhere high 350 close to 400. but how do i really know?

I need your assistance on my next ball purchase Arthur.

Explain to hubby yes.. lol

Trying to explain another new ball to your spouse, oh isnt that the sad sad truth😂😂

Oh the couch

Jim needs to come to my pro shop because the proshop guy there f up my ball

Earon vollmar and keith nusbaub out of toledo ohio babby! Go ahot makers!

My wife asked why I need so many balls, you only use one at a time, I said why do you have so many earrings , you only wear one pair at a time..... She said, oh, the end !!!!

Cheers for this, been searching for "hand position for throwing a hook in bowling" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Piylivern Remarkable Predominance - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to up your bowling game quickly minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
