They do not employ a bad driller and never will.

He has just passed the ball work class I gave him. He is still only a B+ ball plugger but color matching will come with time. He is a very good ball finisher though. Tuesday starts the hand measuring and drilling class. He has potential for sure....Beans

Thanks MC! I appreciate the mention. Didn't want to FIGJAM because JLS would have to berate me about my Texas size ego and all that....
Mike, may I call you mike??>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Don't worry too much about getting 4 different fittings from 4 different fitters. They aren't always wrong, just different. One thing I like to do, when I go to other pro shops, and if I know them a little bit, I get them to fit me and then date/sign the sheet. Later on, I drill a ball with those specs and see how it works/feels. Like I said not always wrong, just different.
Different bowlers have differing levels of difficulty being fitted. I have used spans from 4 3/8 to 4 5/8. Thumb pitch from 5/8 reverse to 3/8 forward. Never a ding or blister on my thumb.
Pain is the worst thing, if it hurts, then it's probably not right.

After having Frankie May measure my specs in Reno, I'm finally comfortable for the first time in 5 years. Anyone can drill holes and finish them off, it's the proper measurements that matter as far as I'm concerned.
