Professional
Drilling Services
When
you have bowlers with equal talent that are bowling
equally well, the player with the better ball reaction
will win.
A
serious sports bowler looks at the lane condition
and the type of ball reaction they're getting. If
they're not getting a good reaction they start thinking
about a drilling configuration that will help them
get the reaction they need to help maximize their
performance.
Because
of today's high tech bowling balls and specially
designed weight blocks, it takes the knowledge of
a trained professional to understand the bowling
ball's construction, location of the center of gravity,
and the reaction that the bowler is trying to get.

Helpful Hints:
If
you're bowling right after the lanes are stripped
and oiled, you will have a lot of front-end skid
and strong back ends, the ball will automatically
slide down the lane and finish hard without a lot
of effort from the bowling ball or the bowler. On
this condition, you need to have the ball set up
to have a controlled movement. You don't need a
"skid long, flip hard" type of drilling
and surface.
However,
late in the day after a lot of bowling, the heads
will be hooking early and the back ends will be
tight because of lane oil carry down. The shot will
have moved deep, so you'll need a ball that goes
long and finishes hard. During any day you may encounter
many different ball reactions between those two
extremes. Ask our Pro Shop professional how to get
the reaction you need to help maximize your performance!
