Anyone from the westside have a favorite place to go.  Lookin for a place that will work with me to find the best layout possible.

Pardue's pro shop inside century lanes in Holland does a great job for me. Talk to kevin. don't know if that anywhere near you, but if it is, worth looking into.

Dave Spohn at Royal Scot (Mr. K's Pro Shop) in Lansing does a great job of fitting you in a relaxed grip, explaining the modern game to bowlers still stuck in the dark ages, and has a great selection of equipment.

If you throw 16# still he's got some beauties in the back room that can be had for roughly what you'd pay for a mid-level or beginner's reactive ball.

On top of all that, he usually has Mo Pinel in once a year doing seminars and brief lessons with bowlers.  Add to that list people like Fred Borden (past few years running) and numerous "demo days" from various manufacturers and you have a guy that is on top of things.

There is no one better in Kalamazoo than Scott Bruner inside Airway lanes.
He is usually very busy but if you can be patient you will not be disappointed.

Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't... you're probably right.

I also would recommend Scott Brunner in Kalamazoo, he will work with you as much as anyone and like "No Open Tenths" said, he is very busy but be patient and he will take care of you.  He has been drilling all of my equipment for about 6 years now and I have never had a complaint, he will match you up with a ball that fits you and your style.  Good luck on finding someone, I hope you are successful!
