After a 20-year break, I decided to return to bowling, and Devan and Emma made the experience seamless. They patiently answered my questions about modern bowling technology and guided me in selecting the perfect equipment. I left with a 900 global Zen25, a Mix spare ball, a three-ball bag, and new shoes--everything I needed to get back in the game. The service was outstanding, and I'm thrilled with my purchase. I'm already planning to bring my wife to take advantage of their great package deals for her own setup. Highly recommend this shop for all your bowling needs! read more

Off The Sheet Pro shop was an awesome experience. I was incredibly nervous about buying my first ball after a Pro Shop in Milpitas, which will not be named, had refused to sell me a ball because I apparently don't know much and needed to practice with other people's balls first... Mike was a huge help. Despite lack of knowledge, he helped me get the right ball for me. After using my free game pass, I immediately hit two turkeys for a game of 161. Not bad for my first personal ball. I recommended this place 100%! read more

As promised, I brought both of my brothers here to get their bowling balls and to get started. Lindsey was awesome. Not only did he personally educate my brothers on the difference of balls, game style, and preferences... he came out to watch them throw / teach them the proper technique. He spent a decent amount of time coaching my brothers and working with them on their game / form. This was an awesome experience and definitely have three customers for life. Thanks again!!! read more

Probably the best pro-shop in the Bay Area. The shop is very well stocked with all the latest balls and the staff here, from what I know, are very reputable in the local bowling community. If you are serious about bowling, you can really go the extra mile here and work with them to find your PAP and customize your drilling layout based on what you want your ball reaction to be and your bowling style. Otherwise, if you are a beginner or are just a casual bowler that isn't too concerned with getting into the nitty gritty of all the bowling technicalities, they will set you up a generic benchmark layout here, which is what I go for and it has worked out well for me so far. Once your first ball is drilled, all your dimensions and preferences are recorded in their system for a faster process in the future. At this point, I pretty much get all my bowling balls drilled here. This location is also connected to the one at Homestead Bowl in Cupertino. read more

I hadn't bowled in years. I went in and asked for some help and was treated respectfully by all Pro Shop employees: casual vibe, friendly smiles, great attitudes. I was given suggestions based on MY goals, not their bottom line... When I picked up my ball I was checked to make sure I had what I needed, "this is good for just getting back... we'll be here when you want to upgrade or have ANY questions." AWESOME I took the ball out for a spin immediately and had a great time... but something was off. I went back to the shop before they closed and said "It hurts when I..." I was immediately given advice by two employees and suggestions on how to make adjustments (which helped dramatically). Point is: they know what they are doing. They all know how to bowl. They know which gear will help with your problems. They know how to help you get better. They know they only benefit from giving good advice to keep bowlers healthy and happy. I will be back. read more

This place is the best. Went here on a Saturday and have no regrets. Had a couple of balls drilled by Lindsey and Matt. Amazing customer service. They watched me throw, got my PAP and heard my concerns. Made sure my bowling ball fit correctly. They went above and beyond. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

My partner and I have been bowling consistently each week since November, but have been using generic balls from the alley. We always see the ads on the TVs at 4th Street Bowl for a ball/bag/shoes deal so we decided to finally make an appointment to get our gear. George assisted us and he was the best!!! He was very knowledgeable and walked us through all the steps. Lucky for us they had everything in stock for our ball weight/shoe size/bags so we were able to get everything that day. That night, we went bowling and it was definitely a game changer having our own gear and fitted ball! Thank you again Off the Sheet!!! read more

I looked up the best pro shop in Northern California and off the sheet pro shop came up. They not only lived up to the hype but they went beyond it. Mr. Wong is very courteous and professional while Dylan is the man. Dylan took care of me and he is by far the best in the area. This kids going somewhere and hes gonna be successful. The pro shop is like most pro shops and they are indeed busy due to league bowlers but they do their best with getting you out the door in a reasonable time. Turn around time for drilling three balls was an hour when they were slower which is by far great compared to anywhere else in Northern California. These guys rock and if you are within an hour this should be your go to pro shop. read more

This is located inside a bowling alley, pretty friendly and give realistic recommendations as well as advice. I bought a bowling ball here as well as got it drilled to my specific finger size. Honestly I learned a lot while talking to the employees working, they helped answer a lot of questions and gave me a lot of tips and tricks to bowl better. I recommend coming to buy a bowling ball and other necessities you need it! I don't have a picture but I bought the Twist bowling ball, 12lb as recommended! read more

With the US Open coming up, I was in need of a tournament arsenal. Matthew Gallagher at the Homestead Lanes location did a phenomenal job taking the time to measure, find my PAP, and customize 2 different layouts for me on 4 different balls. I now have a wide range and feel prepared for almost any lane tournament lane condition, even the US Open pattern! Thanks Matthew for taking the time and care, I am ready! read more

Great local pro shop with amazing package deals. But as a disclaimer, I am a complete amateur/novice and know absolutely nothing about the sport. Met with Lindsey to get setup up with a ball and ended up purchasing shoes and a bag as part of the package deal. Lindsey was probably super annoyed with the amateur questions I had, but it never showed and the setup he recommended for me is awesome. My game has improved and I'm no longer the first place loser, but I won't be competing in any tournaments any time soon. Finally, this is not related to the shop itself, but has anyone seen the skin on Lindsey?!?! His skin is absolutely PORELESS. I want to buy whatever cream, moisturizer, toner, peel, or mask he uses. He should totally have a second business selling skin care products! read more

Well it was a pleasant experience. Everyone on my league goes here for everything. I have only been bowling a year, so I had no idea what I was looking for. The ball I wanted wasn't in stock, so they got my finger measurements and called me when it was ready. When I picked it up I rolled the ball a bit and it was fixed up personally for me! BEST DEAL! Ball, shoes and a bag (carrying) for under $200!! If you want a rolling bag it is an extra $50. read more

Marvin and Dylan are super helpful guys. Haven't played competitively since my college days and was a bit reluctant because pro shops are more rare today than 15 years ago. I didn't want to buy off Amazon simply because I need personal input and expertise and Marvin was able to provide that. I went in on a whim, no appointment, met Marvin and Dylan and came out with a drilled ball ready to play, 2 free games to play right there at 4th St. Bowl! It was a great experience and glad to have found a new pro shop to replace my Oakridge pro shop from my college days. read more

I've bought several balls from Off the Sheet Pro Shop through the years and had a great experience every time. They have an experienced staff with Marvin, Lindsey, and Dylan. They take the time with you and never rush you. They answer any questions you have and will spend the time with you to make sure you get exactly what you need. Marvin has helped me out on several occasions and truly Cares about his customers. It's rare to see this kind of customer service and greatly appreciated. I recently attended the demo day and it was very informational. Plus, you got to try a lot of different balls and talk with the pros. Great experience and would recommend. These guys are busy because they are good at what they do! I suggest calling them up and booking an appointment in order to have the best experience with them. Thanks Guys! read more

DJ is the man to see.. He knows what's up.. and will take care of you... even if certain people who roam around the shop screw you over.. Came here to take advantage of the package deal.. (shoes, ball and bag).. Ordered what I had wanted since they didn't have it in stock.. and then my gf was able to get her stuff that day since her stuff was in stock. Came back a few days later after DJ called and told me my ball was in... Came in that evening.. and alas... my ball was nowhere to be found. Eventually after searching around for awhile... DJ found the box for my ball. It was empty. He promptly apologized and told me how the shop had college kids come in and had somewhat free reign over drilling whatever.. and though my ball was apparently set aside.... It was taken anyway. I might have been pretty angry.. but it looked like DJ was even more upset about the situation than I was... That showed me how much he cared towards his customers.. and that meant a lot to me. Frustrated.. DJ was willing to help me out and reorder it at a discount... but leaving the shop that evening empty-handed was something I didn't want.. So.. we found the same ball.. (in a different color).. and after some thought... decided to settle. For the trouble, DJ helped us a bit more and I was able to try out the new ball that evening. Much thanks to DJ. He's awesome. read more

Lindsey is the man. Helped me out in picking out a new ball and schooling me on the new balls that were out. (My current ball is 12 years old). He had me in and out in no time and was extremly knowledgeable and professional. Definitely will be going back for all my bowling needs. Thanks Lindsey and your team! read more

If you're an advanced bowler or a Noob some what like myself.. these guys are awesome.. Marvin and Staff are smart, educational, and will make sure you have an A+ experience.. Im in the service industry and value when people give A+ service because as we know.. thats rare. If you want advice, wanna buy equipment, and in the end mainly wanna have a great experience.. call this shop up, make an appt, and know that you're dealing with a professional that has your best interest in mind. Call them. Set an Appt. Get started. You're welcome. Cheers. read more

I went there to purchase a used ball. George was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I also got a great deal on a used ball.

Great Staff! Amazing drilling and finger grip fitting installation! My dark web rolls perfectly! If you need a new ball and drilled to your play style, stop by here. read more

Such a professional nice guy! Introduced how to use the bowling ball well and how to not hurt myself, by the way I'm a beginner. I'm glad that I chose this shop. read more

Make sure you know what you're talking about before you come in here, they are willing to sell you anything as long as you're willing to spend money. I came in and bought a ball way over the weight for my body size and I was told I should have no issues at all. A day or two later when my wrist was hurting I had done some research and found out that you should never bowl over 10% of your weight, I weigh 129 and was sold a 15 pound ball. Would've been nice to get some tips from someone who knows what they're talking about. instead I was sold whatever was available read more

Can't recommend this pro shop enough! I live about 45 minutes away and don't regret coming here every single time for any bowling needs. Matt and Dylan are great people who are knowledgeable, friendly, and very personable every single time I end up in the shop. Matt measured my stats and has helped me out a bunch giving me personal advice in terms of buying or wasting money on equipment tailored to my game. I wholeheartedly believe that this is the best pro shop in the Bay Area. Thanks again fellas! read more

My husband and I went to this pro shop to get two new bowling balls drilled. There were 2 workers in the store, both of them doing nothing. They told me we needed to make an appointment to get our balls drilled. I asked if we could "make an appointment" for right now since they weren't busy. No, we have to wait 6 days before we can have our balls drilled. It is a decent drive to get there, too. The reason we chose this pro shop was because it had such high ratings. What a huge disappointment. I give 3 starts due to poor customer service, but am holding out hope that they do get our balls drilled without issue next week. I previously wrote earlier in the week (the above piece) that I wasn't overly impressed with this pro-shop. I have now visited for the second time to get our balls drilled and my husband and I were greeted very nicely. They were patient, positive, and sincerely apologetic. We came a bit before our appointment time, but they helped us early. Our balls were drilled while we waited, which honestly didn't take very long. They even gave us a voucher for 1 free game to try them out and get the balls corrected if necessary. I would definitely come here again, but I have certainly learned my lesson to call first! :) read more

Great service, great atmosphere and to get all your bowling needs you need to come here!

Had a great experience dealing with Marvin. He repaired, drilled and fitted my ball. I had questions and he took the time to answer all of them. He's a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to returning! read more

I just recently started to get into the bowling scene a year ago and I am hooked! When I first stepped into this shop I was greeted and ask if I needed any help. I was just browsing around and seeing what kind of spare balls they had in stock. DJ helped me out and told me what they had in my size. Then, he decided to bust out with a huge binder showing me all the options of spare balls they could order since they had a limited supply. I started to go off topic regarding spare balls and I asked him about ball suggestions that he would recommend for me concerning medium to light oil. Since my current ball (Storm IQ tour) would start hooking too early when the oil pattern starts breaking, I wanted to add a ball that would hook later. After explaining to him my situation, he asked me if I had my bowling gear with me because he wanted to see how I threw the ball and give me advice on what type of ball I would look for. So I got my gear and he watched me throw a few shots to see what he was working with. He showed me what drilling layout would work the best for my shot and gave me a little lesson on what RG and Differential meant and what I personally should look for. That experience in itself was priceless to me as a customer. They go above and beyond to make sure that I get the necessary equipment that fits my style of bowling. I couldn't thank him enough for the attention to detail that he provided me. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants quality service and products for their bowling needs. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! read more

Marvin is amazing. Super patient and knows how to get you the right fit. Trust him, you will be a happy customer.

Last Friday, I drove all the way from San Bruno to San Jose to get my new Track 916 ball drilled and fitted by Lindsey. He was very patient and thorough in my fitting. Considering I was a new bowler, he didn't make the fitting too aggressive so I would have control issues with the new ball. The fitting was perfect, he gave simple tips on proper ball release from the thumb and fingers and I did pretty good on my first time out on the lanes. My friend thought I was crazy to go all the way down there, but if I wanted to have it done right the first time, Lindsey is definitely the person to go to. Thanks again "Off the Sheet". read more

I've been bowling on a weekly basis for about two months now and am really enjoying the sport. I committed to buying my own bowling ball to better my bowling score average. Thus, I purchased my first bowling ball online, the Storm brand "Tropical Storm" (in the very powerful, borderline pungent, scented pineapple splash fragrance) and took it here by recommendations from my bowling friends to get it drilled. Yes, you read that correctly: drilled. I didn't realize until recently that bowling balls are sold without finger holes--which makes sense as your personal ball should be drilled to the specific measurements of your hands for optimal play. I've been in this shop a handful of times before getting my ball drilled and I feel that it's important to emphasize that this shop--along with the bowling alley--gets busy. They do what they can with the volume of people for this small shop. I came on the busy President's holiday on Monday and waited about two hours to have my ball attended to; There were three people ahead of me in need of a variety of services. During my wait I went to the bar for drinks and played two games before they personally came out to get me. I appreciated this very much. Lindsey was very detailed in measuring my hand and fingers for my very first ball. He looked at my swing along with fitting my fingertip and thumb inserts. Unfortunately my fingers were too small for other color choices than black, but they still worked out for the ball color anyways. I did still get to chose the color for my thumb. I went back to the bar as the ball waited to get drilled. When I returned, the gentleman who originally came out to get me (I didn't get his name, but I like him too) had me roll my ball to him twice. He was also helpful with additional related questions. I haven't thrown with the fingertip drilled ball before and am having a pretty good start learning how to. Overall, they did a great job with my first ball. It has more spin which is something I didn't know I wanted. I plan on returning for future services. read more

I can't say that I have been totally happy with purchases made here. I bought a bag, ball and shoes for a Christmas gift for someone. Long story short, they failed to ask me if the shoes were for a left or right handed bowler. I didn't know there was a difference. The shoes I purchased were for right-handed and my gift was for a left-handed person. We took them back the day after Christmas for an exchange of the proper shoes. We were told they would get the proper shoes in a couple of days. We went a couple of days later to pick up the shoes because we were told Tony was going to go and pick them up from a supplier. The supplier failed to give him the order, but we weren't informed until we went to pick them up. It's now 14 days later and we still don't have the shoes. Off the Sheet hasn't called to give us an update or even to let us know the status of the shoes they were supposed to get in for us. I have made about 6 trips to this store for 3 items and still don't have them all yet. Edit: I just found out the black shoes that we bought, then returned, are now white shoes. read more

It's my first time buying a bowling ball. So I went in last week got my bag and shoes. I came back today, to pick my BRAND NEW ball and they told me 20 minutes. When I got my ball, it was definitely not the one I pick nor was it brand new. I went to the car and took a look again and confirmed that this is not the ball I picked. I went back it and told them. Try to tell me it was due to shipping and it's going to get scratches up anyways.... When I buy something new I expected to to be new! If I wanted a used ball I would of brought a used ball! It was not due to shipping because I legit picked a brand new ball but they try to give me a used one. smh yeah I'm new to it all but don't try to take advantage! They did give me a new one but try to blame it on the company "storm" but it was their doing! Just bad business. They knew what they did. Disappointed. My friend and I will not be coming again. read more

Background: Very beginner bowler. Very entry level, but currently on a league and hoping/trying to increase my average. Came to here to get a bowling ball which I don't have a lot of knowledge of. I think Tony was the man who helped me. He gave me good information and assistance. He didn't try to push me but really gave me his support. I picked a ball, got it sized, and after 20 minutes I got my first ball. I left with a ball with a good experience and can't wait to use my ball! read more

Wanted to upgrade from the first ball I've had since I was young. Ordered a storm ball from here and had it drilled by Tony. I brought in my old ball and explained to him what I didn't like about it. He took the time to explain to me about how he'd drill the ball to help my game more. Since then my bowling has really improved since I've gotten the ball, i'm hitting the pocket much better. Had a great experience, will definitely return and recommend everyone to come here. read more

I had just gotten back into bowling and wanted to finally pick up a custom ball. I chatted with Lindsey briefly over email about what ball I wanted, and he had it ordered to the shop in no time. I worked with Marvin, who was fantastic and very helpful in getting the ball setup and drilled. I had to come back in the next day for some thumb hole beveling, but now it feels perfect! Really glad I checked out this shop and will continue to use them as my go-to/recommendation for pro shops in the area! read more

Came here to buy my first ever bowling ball. The house balls were too oily and beat up so I decided to invest in a ball. The owner has a lot of expertise beyond my comprehension and was honest and professional. He custom fitted the ball holes and offered a nice bundle offer that included shoes and a bowling bag. My friend and I both left his shop with satisfaction and I would recommend this place to anyone looking to buy a ball. Only downside I experienced was the lack of options and/or inventory, but that fortunately didn't get in the way from me getting at least close to what I wanted. I can now elevate my bowling skills with a ball made specially for my hand and don't ever have to settle for the worn out shoes and balls offered by my bowling alley any longer. They offered a custom engraving, adjustment service, and 1 free game at no additional cost. So although the cost was quite steep for most people, I felt that I got good value. read more

Today I came into the shop to get two bowls drilled. I had a great experience and was helped by a very knowledgeable employee who gave me pointers on how to roll and release the ball. I without a doubt will be back and look forward to bowling at this alley as well! Thank you again for all the help today! read more

Very impressed. I brought two balls in to be fitted and drilled and Marvin was patient, meticulous and very pleasant to talk with. Given the excellent quality of their work, they are very busy (in the ~60 min or so that I was there, about half a dozen folks came in for service). I'd recommend calling for an appointment and being ready for interruptions here and there, but it is definitely worth it. read more

Called Tony Reyes for some advice on a ball and is very knowledgable!! I reccomend this small shop, because he is a tour bowler and knows his stuff!!! Lindsey Wong is also very good both owners of this shop and PBA bowlers!!! Check them out!!! read more
