Looking for the best Drillers
« on: September 26, 2007, 06:21:20 AM »
If you could have anyone in the U.S. drill your equipment who would it be. This includes laying out you ball so you have the best fit for your game. Is there anyone out there that is heads above everyone else. I know in my area if I go to three different pro shops I am going to get fitted three different ways. Is this normal, if so how am I suppose to know what is a proper fit for me. They can all feel good on my hand but how do I know which one is being done correctly. If you could travel anywhere who would you go to?  I know in coaching you have guys like John Jowdy, Fred Borden, Ron Clifton etc. Is there any ball drillers that are in an elite class like these coaches. I thought I would throw this out there and see what happens.

I've never met him in person, but I'd give kingofthemill a shot in a heart beat.

Already use the best K & K Bowling Services- Jeff Walsh and Sakae Wantanabe, these guy's do not miss on anything ever. I have had at least 600 balls drilled by just these two guy's alone, more like a 1000 plus for all K & K drillers.

They do not employ a bad driller and never will.

Randy Bridges or Rich Mayer in Birmingham, Ala., at Vestavia Bowl.

Chris Jones* at Bowler's Advantage in Smyrna, Tenn.

*=changed careers, but the shop is still there and has other good drillers.

I am fortunate that he drills my stuff for me already, but if I ever were to move out of the state (again) I'd still come back to kingofthemill.
