Title: Buddies Pro Shop Drilling is Second to None
Post by: Brickguy221 on October 13, 2014, 09:33:48 PM
I received my Motiv Primal Rage from Buddies Pro Shop this evening and The drilling on it is extremely accurate. The pitches perfect and the span is not off even the thickness of a piece of paper. I have never had a ball drilled that accurate before. I thought my pro shop was good, but they don't compare to Buddies accuracy. I will definitely have all of my future balls drilled by Buddies.

If anyone is not happy with their driller, Buddies is the answer.

i agree with this. i lived in CT and had my stuff drilled by them after my home proshop drilled my stuff for all my life and they duplicated the fit down to a  T.  and when i talked with them about layouts they didnt make me feel inferior if i was wrong about something. great customer service, knowledge and able to hit lines. cant ask for anything more.

I'm pretty sure they're better than most of the pro shop operatoroperators anywhere.  I haven't really heard on one bad thing, and that's goooood.

after the local guys left town, I started going to BP and from the very first ball (2011) to my recent spare ball, all have been perfect. Everything from the holes to the amount of bevel I use. The first couple balls I've rechecked span and after that, didn't even bother. They were all ready to go straight out of the box - of course after inserts and tapes are put in.

I go to a local guy now for my current equipment and there are beni's having a local guy you can go to. But, I do miss the $22 drilling service and the work they do.

Yeah :D, ever since you and keith left. Now I go locally again, but it's a drive..the good thing is, I have a runner who drops and pick ups my stuff and I give him a little $$ for his troubles...

Local is a drive?  But we were just down the street.  I'm very confused.

I hope it was Nick's work you were checking after I left and not MY work.

45 mins isn't that far of a drive... a friend who lives near the shop and bowls in sac does the driving for me. It works out..I even get delivery to my work :D

Also, it wasn't your work I've checked...you (and keith) were the only ones in this area that actually knew how hit lines and customer service was always good.

Have you ever wanted to come to Buddies Pro Shop to have a ball drilled but just live to far away? Are you tired of paying your local shop way too much to drill your ball? Send us your specs and have the expert ball drillers at Buddies Pro Shop help take your game to the next level. But ball drilling is not the only service we offer. Do you have a favorite ball that just does not perform like it used to? If so, then our reviving service is just what you are looking for.

you can buy older high end NIB for $80 then pay $22 (price I pay without inserts plus coupon)...I said $22 for drilling services that is done perfectly.....

I love their (BP) work, but having a local driller that can do the job too is also worth it. There's a difference with local driller and online....It's different having a long distance relationship sometimes lol.....
