Do you talk like this to people in real life?
Seriously, the guy asked a question. I feel bad for the people who come into your proshop and ask "stupid" questions. I'm surprised you didn't call him boy.
Anyway, to answer your question, I don't drill my own stuff, but I've thought about trying. Sure it was for like a second, and then I realized that getting the setup would cost me more than I'd spend in a lifetime for ball drillings.

Hey Nospare... Read it again boy....
He CLEARLY says, "I think it is getting to the point that just us regular people are finding ways to do the stuff ourselves"
Let me translate that for you boy...So it will make some sense to the senseless.....
First, it''s NOT A QUESTION.....It''s a STATEMENT, and a stupid one at that...
Second, for whatever reason, he is saying he thinks it would be less expensive to drill his own equipment...
Third, since he is in the 3rd grade and you the 4th grade... He has no idea about the cost involved...
Fourth, he is, like you, just another keyboard pounder talking stupid talk...
Fifth, don''t you worry boy how I talk to my customers...
Sixth, worry about your job boy, cause you keyboard pounders are obsolete. And being replaced by little girls in China...
Seventh.. Go away, cause you bore me....

Yes I do feel bad for shops that are not online because some dolts still buy online to get their $10 price break after drilling. Like I said in another thread, bowlers are cheap.
Buy from your local proshop, you may spend the extra $10 but you get the pin location you want and a warranty in case your ball cracks. But not the cracking that occurs from your oven that you bake your ball in for 4 hours.

Ive thought about getting my own equipment to use at home but the cost is very high unless you get a deal on something or plan on making a little bit of money by doing other peoples stuff for profit
a good jig is pretty expensive Im personally not a fan of the cheaper jigs that jayhawk and innovative offer (the brands are good brands but the cheaper jiggs just dont really do it for me) I personally like the ovalmatic style jig setups but they are much more expensive
and a good set of bits will cost you a lot as well
Post by: kidlost2000 on January 29, 2010, 08:14:53 AM
Used drill bits aren''t expensive and getting them sharpen are cheap. When drilling for your self in most cases you only need a few bits any ways not a whole set.
Then when you factor in that you can get many balls that have been out for a little while very cheap the savings adds up. I can get many NIB 15 bowling balls from Brunswick Morich and others for $75 or less shipped to the house. Not to mention many newer released bowling balls for around $125 or less shipped to the house. Compared to $170 to $225 in the proshop before taxes. I would say it is a very worth while savings for some, not for all.
If you don''t know what your doing this isn''t how you go learn.

As for doing "stuff" ourselves. I think drilling our own is a bit extreme unless you have a shop, but yes we do a lot ourselves now. Ball spinners are pretty cheap now for a personal unit. We have methods for oil extraction and some even built their own "revivor" ovens out of things like food dehydrators. I resurfaced two balls already since I got my spinner. I just need to do a couple more and then it's pretty much paid for.

I must start by agreeing with jls, regarding "regulars" buying their own equipment and "trying to drill" themselves. I drill mine own stuff, but I was taught and learned first. I have a friend that owns a few shops, and he allows me to use the press when I would like as long as I'm not in his way during his business hours. This is a far cry from someone who reads up online and "thinks" they know enough to even toy with the idea of investing in their own drill press, bits and other such equipment.
Do I feel bad for shops, NO. Because when it comes down to it, everyone still goes to the shop at some point in time. Not to mention that I shop that is run probably goes way above and beyond what an online dealer can do. Plus The Stroke is right, in the end you only save $30 at most buying a ball online. So why bother when you can go to a shop and have someone work with you face to face? And I can guarantee that even some of the "bad" shop guys know a heck of a lot more than "you regulars" when it comes to drilling.
Oh and Boos, two final things for you
1. Buddies is the worst example you could have used in referencing and online shop as he is an actual Pro Shop first and foremost.
2. Stop trying to quote what other people said because you clearly have 0 clue how it works, which by my guess, your drilling your own stuff will go as well as you quoting someone on here.

Oh and Boos, two final things for you
1. Buddies is the worst example you could have used in referencing and online shop as he is an actual Pro Shop first and foremost.
2. Stop trying to quote what other people said because you clearly have 0 clue how it works, which by my guess, your drilling your own stuff will go as well as you quoting someone on here.
Your right on the Buddies remark. I did forget they are a pro shop but they do drill online balls. As for the other thing think what you want. I don't drill My own stuff. The whole point to this subject was to see how many do not use pro shops these days. Not to start a fight.

Boos / bowl, Exactly what do you mean by it's time regular people find ways to do the stuff ourselves...
These so called regular people, are the ones trying to save money by ordering online....
Now, in 25 words or less... could you please tell me why it is a good idea for you regular people to invest in maybe $5000 worth of drilling equipment to drill your own balls...
Yet complain about paying maybe $20-$30 more for a ball drilled by a pro shop...
I'm sorry boos / bowl, but that makes no sense...

Hey boy, people like BOWL / booz come on and talk stupid talk, and when someone responds to their crap, or calls them, A POS like yourself comes on to bash them...
Instead of addressing the thread, the first time all you did was attack..
Well gps you pos...
It is stupid and dumb to think that the average person is going to spend boo koo money on drilling equipment... when they complain now about the cost of balls....
If you had any brains or commonsense, you poor excuse for a human, you would have realized that....
But your clueless...Just another dime a dozen keyboard pounder with a big mouth....

Actually jls, your post makes no sense. His post doesn't say "it's time regular people find ways...", his post says "...getting to the point that just us regular people are finding ways...".
The original post mentions nothing about investing any money in equipment, it just asks how many people do it themselves with the point of finding a way to do it.
I often ask the same question myself. I know some local bowlers who drill their own equipment. I don't personally, as I know my local pro does great work and I need his opinion and guidance on what is best for my game. But I am concerned at times for the state of his business. As a somewhat new bowler, I read about how the number of bowlers continue to fall and think that if we somehow run our local proshops out of business, there won't be league bowling at all. Just my opinion.

Milo, "it''s getting to the point that just us regular people are finding ways to do the stuff ourselves"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sir, that is a statement, not a question.
"how many people drill" <<< now that is a question....
Now what sense does it make for "regular people" to invest $2500-$5000 in drilling equipment to drill their own balls...
How are they saving money.....
You see sir there are people who drill balls that are called, "HOLE POUNDERS"
And there are people who drill balls that actually know what they are doing...
Booz / bowl, his comment about "it''s time" makes no sense...
Most people today are hurting for money.. and are thrilled to save $20-$30 buying online...
Now what sense does it make for them to invest $5000 to drill their own balls..
Booz / bowl or whatever he is going by now, has no commonsense...
OMGoodness... He could run for Congress, and then after 143 days, President...
Which is one of the main reasons.
People in this country, "are screwed".....
Notice after the first sentence he wrote... ????? <<< that means a question.
Notice after what I posted he said, just a . <<< that''s means it is not a question....
This was discussed in 5th grade...
now
can we move on

My first thought was to just let this go, but since your so good at replying to people with the obvious condescending tone, I just can't pass. No where does he mention spending anything on equipment, not even a dime. It just says "finding a way", which yes, is a statement. But you have the quote all wrong, no where in there does it mention "it's time". The actual text is "I think it is getting to the point that just us regular people are finding ways to do the stuff ourselves". Nothing about it being time for regular people to do so. Just that people ARE doing it.
So, to use the tone YOU love so much to use, this is called reading comprehension, meaning UNDERSTANDING what you read. Which if I remember correctly, was also discussed in the fifth grade.

Thanks sir, But But, But, "I still get the pizza's right"
Now as for your last reply... What do you think he meant by finding a way..
Notice, no quotes... in a thread that is about drilling your own.. << notice again sir, no quotes...
I guess i just figured since he was posting about drilling your own, finding a way to me, meant buying your own drilling equipment...
If I was wrong, I'm sorry...
Cause it's Saturday...
And Saturday is PIZZA DAY in the JLS home....
"I still get the pizza's right"
btw
That link I provided will show anyone an address if you type it in... Now yes, there are some areas in BLUE that are not done yet...
My houses do show up...And if you follow the pointer you can go up and down the streets... That area is NOT a ghetto like bong said....
Most houses are well kept and many have been remodeled...
That white boy form Clear View has probably not been east of Pulaski ave. in years... So he thinks anything east is a ghetto... Typical white boy...
Now if that link does not work, IM me with your email address and I will email the actual link to you... No Charge...
"I still get the pizza's right"
have a nice weekend gentlemen

wow
"finding ways to do the stuff ourselves" In a thread about how many here drill their own stuff"
wow again... beat me with a wet noodle...
But to me, a person of COMMONSENSE, that means the possibly getting equipment to drill bowling balls....
I'm sorry I thought it meant a drill press...
I now see, he probably meant using a hammer or chisel.
Silly me

Billy Squire is no guitar god. I saw him waaaayyyy back in the day, opening for Cheap Trick. He just sang, didn''''t play guitar in his own show. Guitar gods rule the show. Now Stevie Ray Vaughn.......
Now to stay on topic: I agree with jls'' ideas, most of the people that would drill for themselves do so out of an existing pro shop, but there aren''''t but a handful of those people. Most of the ones that would buy their own equipment, would not buy good or the right equipment. 1. Probably cheap people, 2. Don''''t know what to buy. If they learn by teaching themselves and trial and error, they are gonna spend a lot of money because of those mistakes.
I don''''t like to get into bashing and slashing on here, I just don''''t have the time, but... If this Boos is really CBB/Bowl??? Now THIS guy is a dingleberry and needs to buy a box of clues about the pro shop industry. So take what he says with a whole box of salt. This time of year, get the 50lb bag of ice melting salt, Lowe''''s should have plenty of them!
