What to Expect On Your First Visit
Master Ball Driller
Roger has over 40 years of experience in the bowling industry, both as a bowling pro shop owner and PBA Touring Pro.He is a master at analyzing a bowler's hand to ensure the proper fit. From conventional to finger tip drill, beginning bowlers to scratch bowlers, youth to senior bowlers, he will drill that bowling ball to fit YOUR HAND.
Every Hand Is Different
. Roger does not subscribe to the old, outdated, generic ball drilling charts that DO NOT consider a bowler's unique hand structure.Without proper analysis of a hand, their bowler grip WILL NOT be correct, and will result in an ill-fitting drill that can result in not only the inability to throw the ball correctly, but can lead to injury to the hand.

On Lane Analysis Of Your Game
This is required for any bowler with an established average.
We need to determine the type of roll you have (full roller, spinner, standard 3/4 roller, or thumbless), find your PAP, tilt of your axis, and axis shift.
The ONLY way this can be determined is by having the bowler throw the ball.

What Is The PAP and Why Is It Important
The PAP is the Positive Axis Point of a ball as it rolls down the lane, and the PAP is determined by how you release the ball and is different for everyone.
The reaction of the bowling ball is going to be based on the location of the bowler's PAP, Axis Shift, Tilt, RPMs, and speed.

Bad Layout = Bad Results
If you have had your ball drilled without the above actions being taken, then the person drilling your ball is either guessing or assuming that you have a standard pap and axis shift, and they will be right less than 50% of the time.
For the amount of money you are paying for your bowling ball, that is simply unacceptable.

Run Away Fast
If you walk into a pro shop and they do not, or have not, done a lane analysis to determine the above criteria, I suggest you RUN out because that person is either more interested in taking your money and/or doesn't understand the theory of layouts.
Either way, you are spending good money with a less than 50% chance that your layout and ball selection will be optimized.
