Incorrect Cheech. I get ball recommendations often from Chris. I have sent video of myself to Chris and a ball for copying. We have had many conversations on what I'm looking for and what ball and drilling he thinks would work for me. I have never found it a hard process and in fact love the ease of how the process plays out!

It's not a hard process! I did it! It couldn't be any simpler! Chris had called and we've spoken on multiple occasions about one ball! He puts in the work & dedication!'

He drilled a DV8 Hell Raiser Revenge for me. No complaints.

Yeah, I can attest to what everyone is saying, when I got my stuff drilled by Chris it was an involved and thorough process and we made sure that we got the layout and ball reaction I was looking for.

 Per Chris posting in another topic sometime back, if you know your specs and tell them how you want the ball drilled, that is all the info they need. They don't need your ball then.

If you are refering to pro shops, all of them in my area measure the same way. However some are more accurate than others in hitting their mark when drilling, but they still measure the same way.

I think the failure to be accurate in hitting the lines is a fault many pro shops have. That is not a problem at Buddies!!

Glad to hear that about Buddies as I have given thought a few times of having them drill a ball for me, but didn't know if they excelled at hitting the lines or not.

Received from buddies today a Cyclone drilled by Chris.  Fits like a glove.  The guys at buddies are the best.
