When you care about your bowling fit, you can get JoPo interchangeable thumb sizes to the exact decimal size, extreme oval cuts If necessary, or have a back up thumb cut completely round to use thumb tape and shape it yourself. I go to the extreme & tripple pitch my thumbs which Sang executed brilliantly. Possibilities are endless. From a fully custom fit, modern pba fit to 2 handed no thumbers, you can get the 2LS layout with the trigonometry math needed, He is willing to take the time with each and every person more than other shops in my opinion, me as a highly skilled league bowler that extra effort goes a long way. But also if you are not a fussy type you can keep it simple and drill your ball by the certified fit recommended for beginners. You pay for what you get, no missed lines or errors. Any brand or style you may see on YouTube you can get here with Pinnacle precision! I speak on 20+ years friendship, don't take my word go experience it for yourself. Inside Habetler bowl! read more

Sang is an amazing PSO and is one of the best in Chicago. My girlfriend and I have been been going to Pinnacle for a few years now and will still go to Sang for balls and drilling even after moving to Hyde Park. Go visit Sang even just to say hi! He's friendly and will always take the time to chat, even though he's one of the hardest working PSOs out there read more

I've known Sang for many years and his bowling equipment knowledge along with his outstanding customer service is excellent. I skipped bowling for 2 years but Sang got me hooked up with a league at Habetler bowl so I am forever grateful toward him. He is truly honest with his advice and suggestions. Joe Corna read more

Great customer service, quality of work and attention to detail. I am recommending this shop to my friends.

Brought my ball in for engraving today. Sang (the owner), checked the finger fittings and explained that they were too loose for my fingers. He put in new inserts, polished my ball, engraved the ball and answered many questions. I can not say enough about him. He is very knowledgeable and super patient. I wish I had met him earlier and can't wait to show off my "improved" ball. I will be taking some private lessons with him. Don't hesitate to visit his store. I guarantee you will be impressed. read more

I love this place! Pretty great bowling alley equipped with a full bar room with awesome drinks, good food for a bowling alley, vending machines, jukebox, pool table, plenty of washrooms, bowling shop and bowling ramps for those with disabilities (they have two). Habetler's service is very good considering that they are short staffed because good help is hard to find nowadays. They host different leagues, groups and on Fridays Chicago Park District does their bowling program for people with disabilities of all kinds. So the real star of the show...Sang in the bowling shop. Last Friday, I came here with my neighbors/friends to stay with Jocelyn at her weekly bowling for disabled people. I bought her her own Superman bowling ball & bag for her early Christmas gifts. Ball wasn't drilled with holes and so I decided to walk into Habetler's bowling shop and asked if they drilled holes (which probably was a dumb question LOL). I explained that Jocelyn has severe Cerebral Palsy and doesn't really need the holes because she pushes the ball down a ramp to bowl. Also, that these were early Christmas gifts and she just wanted the holes to feel like everyone else she bowls with. Sang said he still wanted to measure her hands and fingers for the holes. I proceeded to ask Sang how much it would cost. He initially gave me a price and said he can make the time right away to measure her and have the ball ready in ten minutes. I than brought Jocelyn and her mom into the shop and Sang measured her with such care and professionalism. He than said to all of us, "I'm not going to charge you all anything. This is my Christmas gift to her." I still offered to pay several times but he refused. I almost busted out in tears. Super unexpected and heartwarming. Sang came back out to where we were waiting to bowl and asked if we wanted him to inscribe her name on the ball. We both got excited and said a big ol' "YES!". He asked what name she wanted and how to spell it. I asked how much would he like to do that and again he refused any of my offers. Ten minutes later he brought the ball out very nicely drilled and inscribed. He's clearly amazing at his craft and an incredibly awesome human being. He walked to the washroom and I stopped him when he came out. I thanked him so much and told him she absolutely loves the ball, his work and that she's bowling even better than ever. He told me he was so happy to see her smile and that it is contagious. His kindness, generosity, his skills and professionalism are the real gifts. Please consider supporting a small local business and get your bowling needs met by Sang. I'm sangin' his praise, as we're so grateful, touched. We will always remember the kindness of a stranger for a young disabled girl that just wanted her own bowling ball and to bowl with the rest of the other people she likes and loves.

Coach Sang is extremely knowledgeable on all things bowling. My son and I went in to get bowling balls and his recommendations were great. The balls were ordered right away and came in soon after and were drilled to perfection. He gave us discounts on almost every item we've purchased. My daughter got a ball a week later and now all three of us are getting lessons from Coach Sang. We've already developed in bowling in just 2 weeks. Can't wait to see how much better we get in the future. read more

Sang is an absolute rockstar. It's quality over quantity at Pinnacle Pro Shop and you're in fantastic hands if you decide to visit / work with Sang. It's been nearly 10 years since I've bowled, but the moment I walked in, Sang gave me a warm welcome into the store. His approach is much like a bespoke designer, asking you questions to understand your ability, needs, and goals. If you have any concern / intimidation regarding visiting a pro shop, please know you're in some of the best hands with Sang and he'll take care of you whether you're a beginner or a top tier player. I never felt rushed and Sang always made sure I was satisfied with my set up before paying the bill. Sang is acutely aware of the variety of players that come in and his deep expertise allows him to provide great advice across the board. If I have any friends / family interested in bowling, Sang will the first person on my referral list. If you're doing your research on where to go, I'd highly recommend just stopping by - Sang will take care of you and you will quickly realize why folks stick with him their entire bowling career. (Including myself!) read more

Sang is great. If it's your first time getting your ball drilled there, he will take the time to have you throw a few shots to establish your PAP (basically your unique release) and will walk you through ways of laying the ball based on how you throw it. He's very good at what he does and attentive to your needs! I have been going to him over 8 years now ever since a different pro shop messed up my spam and layout and didn't listen to what I wanted or thought I wouldn't know the difference since I was getting back into the sport. Highly recommend and I am always happy to support local pro shops so they can stay in business. Whenever I get a new ball I get it there even if it's a little bit over asking price. Since I go there quite often I get some discounts on accessories so it balances out. read more
