My coworkers and I had made it a routine to go bowling every Friday during our lunch break at one point, and it would have been more cost effective to buy my own shoes than to pay the rental fee every week. My first experience with this store is buying my own pair of shoes around late 2015. Mike was very helpful and I knew very little about bowling equipment. I was curious about what made all the bowling balls along the wall special compared to house balls and he took the time to explain cover stocks, core, and the importance of getting a ball drilled to fit your hand properly.
A few weeks later, there was a Black Friday promotion in the store. I was curious to see what having my own ball would be like so I bit the bullet and bought a used bowling ball. Mike took the time to take measurements and did a great job of drilling the ball. Knowing that was my first time, he also took some time to go over the basics of rolling a ball.
I realized I could use some improvement and still had much to learn. I inquired about getting a lesson and scheduled a lesson with Mike. That's when he went into more detail about my footwork, timing, and some of the basics.
Well... long story short, it's been less than 2 years since my first visit into the shop and I've come back to get 6 more balls, another pair of shoes, utilizing ball cleaning services, and more lessons. I still receive the great service that I experienced since the first day and greeted by name now.
The store offers everything you will need, such as shoes, balls, bags, towels, shirts, gloves, tapes, drilling, cleaning, etc. If there is something that they don't have in the store, they can order it and have it in quickly (usually by the next day). read more
