You expect him to drill the ball for free?

So let me get this straight, your going to drill this ball up yourself?

65$ is a reasonable price bringing it in from elsewhere. I just drilled my NVS that I ordered off bowling.com - and my driller charged me 65$ included slugs and grips.

$65.00 not including grips and slugs,or $65.00 for any info. this is after over $1000 worth of balls and equipment I have purchased from him in the 6 years.. I dont expect him to do it for free, and yeah from now on I'm drilling all my stuff.

Unless you have ALL the equipment to layout, drill and weigh a ball why would you save a few bucks and drill it yourself. Makes no sense to me..

I also $65 is way to much to drill a ball especially if the guy doesn't want to weigh it for you and drill a weight hole if needed.. Making sure the ball is legal should be included in the price of any drilling..

If you drilled it by the #1 drilling go over 4 inches from center of grip then up 1 inch, depending on the top weight it will be a 15/16 bit 1 inch to 2.5 inches.
