I’ve been meaning to add the sites I describe below to the sidebar, but never got around to them until today…
“Bowler’s Paradise” is another online pro shop (and, thus, goes in the sidebar under “Equipment Sites”), but, unlike most others, they do offer a drilling service if you upload your hand measurements to them. I can’t say they’ll be able to drill any ball for a desired reaction, however, so I still recommend getting balls drilled at a brick-and-mortar pro shop.
“My Bowling Coach” is a site run by USBC Gold coaches Fred Borden, Jeri Edwards, and Ron Hatfield on behalf of USBC Coaching that offers lessons (in video, audio, and text format) on all phases of bowling, including physical and mental game, lane play, and equipment. A neat extra feature of the site lets you upload video of yourself bowling and get a customized lesson. I don’t know if the custom lesson feature is extra, but the standard lessons are available for about $60/year, so some of you may consider this a bargain. The link is in the sidebar in the general “Bowling Sites” category.
