Jason As a PSO I agree with all you've said, but it doesn't solve the problem. If pro shops continue to do "business as usual", most of them will fail eventually. The business has changed and we need to find a way to change with it. I've seen nothing in this post that would suggest how to go...

It seems to me that PSO's are trying to take out their frustrations on everyone but themselves. Perhaps we should look closer to home? When the buying public believes they're not getting their money's worth, they start looking around for better deals. The market has changed. Anyone can...

What do you guys think of this idea.......................... On line shopping is here to stay, no matter where you live. Instead of fighting it, what if a PSO catered to it? What I mean is what if the local shop didn't carry any balls in stock but instead, had a computer in his shop with...

It is true that with certain layouts, you will need to have access to a scale. However there are just as many layouts that won't require one. I'm sure that your PSO's don't check every single ball that they drill. I drill hundreds of balls every season and I don't check them all. It just...

Not sure I'm following you.........

[To Mr. kmt - Have you thought about putting a moving bottom cradle in your device instead of a fixed ball cup? Would be very easy to do, and would allow any pitches to be drilled with a simple vertical bush on the top plate. I did-----I experimented for over a year with several different...

I'm referring to myself and others like me as opposed to someone who wants to experiment with different pitches, spans, etc.

Another debate for a different thread---not to say that this one has stayed on subject!

Point taken.....but you have to understand that when I introduced this device, I was not trying to teach the world how to drill and that still is not my intent. If you don't already know what pitch does, then this device is not for you. There is a short version of the video on you tube. You...

When I came up with the idea, I was thinking the same as you....I thought people would be intrigued and interested. That's how I would have felt if someone else would have invented it. I was completely shocked when I got the exact same reaction here in the states as I'm getting from most all...

Come on now......how can you possibly judge the quality without seeing and touching it????

Actually, I aimed the device at bowlers like myself. I use the exact same span all of the time and the exact same pitches all of the time. The only thing that changes is the layout. I always use finger grips and a thumb sleeve, so I only need 2 drill bits. I use 1/4 left and 1/4 reverse on...

That wasn't even harsh enough to get me started-----but I'll tell you what I'll do just to prove my point......If someone is willing to pay for the shipping, $46, I'll send them one for free to try out, provided they report their results on this site. It would have to be someone with layout...

You guys are too easy!!! Is that all you got??

Mis-labelled CG's are quite rare over here, but they do happen occaisionally. I get quite busy in my shop and don't have time to check every ball for correct CG placement. If and when I do get one and don't find out until after the ball has been drilled, the manufacturer replaces it with a new...

Like I said, this device isn't for everyone. There are several things you can't do---you can't cut ovals and you can't check legal weights without a scale. But there are mathematical ways to figure out balance hole placement. When I'm drilling a ball in my shop that is going to require a...

This is the type of response that I'm used to from PSO's. I don't know what you guys are afraid of!! Like you say, this device will only appeal to a small percentage of bowlers, not enough to hurt your business. I do not recommend using a cordless drill. You will only get through 1 or 2...

I didn't invent this device for the "novice" bowler, however, there have been so many inquiries and so much criticism about the possibility of "illegal" layouts that I have decided to make a video to try and demonstrate the basics of how to properly lay out a new ball. It should be on my web...

If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.....
