Drilling Certification

[VmsTopGun]

When choosing a shop to drill your ball, do you have a preference if the driller is trained by....

Kegel
Jayhawk
PowerHouse
other Driller

how important is it that the shop be a member of IBPSIA ( 1-5, 5 most, 1 least)

On the scale of 1-5 1 being the least improtant and 5 being the most important, I would have to give my personal rating a 4. If the pro shop owner/driller has been in business many years and has a repeat clientel and word from other people are good, then it doesn't matter to me if he is certified or not. Most driller that fall into this categorey or usually pro's. Also I have to say that there are alot of drillers out there that are certified and still cannot fit or drill a ball properly also. Not many but they are out there.

None of the above. I look at stuff he's drilled for other guys,(Quality of the work) and then at balls he's drilled that are simular to what I want punched up. Then give him a test ball,(spare ball works best here) to see what kind of service I get. Pass that and I'll have him redrill a used ball to see if he knows how to listen to me. Only then does he get to punch holes in a new ball. And we better agree on where those holes are going.

BTW-You left MoRich out of the choices. If he don't know Mo,he don't drill no holes for me.
