I am moving to the DC area (specifically Silver Spring, MD) in a few weeks and looking for any suggestions on good drillers/pro shops in the area.  I am very familiar with layouts/surfaces, but I tend to be very sensitive to the smallest errors in the way a ball is drilled (pitches, spans, etc.).  Basically, I am willing to drive a little if I have to, in order to find someone who can be counted on to drill up my specs consistently.  Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the area!

Indeed, you have a number of options available to you in our area. Personally, I use The World Class Pro Shop run by Gary(Guru)Parsons. It is located at the Capital Plaza bowling center in Prince Georges County. He also has a shop connected with Red Nelson, called Bowler's World, located on Allentown Way, also in Prince Georges County. Gary is famous in the bowling community and does great work, with a personal touch.

Then there are two Pro Shops located in Crofton now. One is run at the Crofton Bowling center off Priest Drive in Crofton and is run by Mike Warboy & Lee Hosgood. The other shop, I'll have to defer to DP3 to give you the location of, since I have not yet visited their new location.

Then there is also, Carmen Don's Pro Shop in Alexandria, Va which is nationally renown and top notch. They have many serious pro staffers on duty, who do a superb job in the service area. If you PM me, I can give you all the pertinent data later.
