I'm considering investing in the game I love. My Wife and I are considering opening a Proshop. I have zero experience in ball drilling, fitting, filling, etc. yet I have many years of experience in sales.

Has anyone been to the schools offered by Jayhawk and/or Innovative?  If we do this we will purchase a complete package from one of these companies which will include the Drill Press, Jigs, Bits, all figment tools, and the list goes on and on. We are figuring it to be somewhere between $35k to $65k after buildout, machinery, and merchandise.

I would like to eventually operate the shop myself.  Will the courses provide a decent stepping stone toward operation?  How long has it taken people to do proper figment, get the ball reaction the customer wants, etc?
