About
I have more than 45 years of bowling experience. I have been performing custom ball fitting and drilling since 1999. Some of my personal achievements have been multiple 300,299 and 298 games all are honor scores. I have multiple first place finishes in singles double and team events in several amateur bowling tournaments. At my shop I specialize in custom ball fitting and drilling. I will help you choose a bowling ball that is best suited for you and help you improve your game using the proper equipment. With each ball purchase you get a free game of bowling.
I get a great deal of satisfaction when I am able to improve a bowlers game and help them achieve a goal they may have. I haven't met a customer yet that I wasn't able to teach something new. I love to engage with my customers and give them knowledge about the game that they may not be aware of or maybe ever considered. An example would be oil patterns verses ball surfaces and weight blocks that are combined with the ball surface and how they are used to create ball motion. I really enjoy educating new bowlers.
