Also another way to find a good driller/fitter would be asking a few of the better bowlers in your area. Usually you'll hear a pretty consistent tune between the people you ask. I found my driller because of every good bowler in the area going to him because he takes time and cares about the quality of work he does.

I will check out all the suggestions.

Brian Horn works for In The Zone Pro Shop at Olathe Lanes in Olathe Kansas, It is a little drive from Kansas City but if you schedule a little bit of time with him he is a good fitter and good driller. Did I mention he is also a Hammer Staffer. Make sure to schedule time though because he is still drilling balls from the Demo they ran last week.

I notice Australia as a country, never mind a continent, doesn't appear to have an entry here.

Does this mean Aus has no ibpsia accredited drillers, that the ibpsia list is out of date, that ibpsia is not recognised in Aus or that the accreditation is meaningless.

Just asking.

It means none of the drillers have flown to Vegas to take the courses. Tack on air fair and that is a pretty expencive deal.

My driller was a member, but is not listed. So it maybe if you don't keep up the membership or keep going to classes then you don't get listed anymore. :confused:
