Thursday night, took a buddy to my pro to get a new ball. He hasn't bowled in 8+ years and wanted to get back in to it. After lots of choices he drilled a Hawg Wild. With the ball being dropped next year, he got it drilled with fingers and thumb slug for 169!
So last night we go to pick it up.(and my spare ball that I broke both finger holes) After the usual touching up of the thumb, we go downstairs to throw a few. 5minutes later, here come both the owners of the proshop. They watched my bud (and me) throw a few. Then it pretty much turned into a training class for my bud. After the second game they take his ball back upstairs and sanded it to 2000 (i think) and started all over again. Well to make a long story shorter, they spent almost 4 hours with us. Finishing the night, the 4 of us throwing 3 baker style games.
As I've said before, I may pay alittle more for my equipment, but things like last night more than make up for it. On a side note.... called my pro this morning to thank him again, he told me they didn't get done in the shop until somewhere around 1:30.
