    Default KC drilling

    Sup all. I'm just looking for the best place around town to get a ball drilled at. The place I go to right now is strike and spare on 40 highway and Bruce and James are very knowledgeable they charge for fill and re-drill with finger tips $36.... I like this place but just seeing what all is out there/ letting you all know.

    And also where are some good lanes around KC? I tried lunar bowl in blue springs and obviously strike and spare on 40 highway. I actually live in grain valley, but I don't mind driving to a good place to roll at.

    I'm not from around there, but you should ask the customers they've had how they liked their ball.

    I've never heard bad things about this place. Just seeing who is the cheapest, and if my place is the cheapest, then I'm just happy to pass the info along about this pro shop.

    Wow, there are several KC area bowlers on here so I am surprised not one of them has posted here. Jason? Jason? This fellow bowler needs your assistance.

    I just talked to JaMau24 through a Private message. He confirmed strike and spare is the shizznittle-bam / the best place to go .

    There is an old proverb: Good things not cheap, Cheap things not good. If you get the cheapest price and the fit is bad or the layout is wrong you have wasted both time and money.

    Not in this case. BP's Pro Shop which runs out of AMF Strike N' Spare and AMF Northland Lanes is both good and cheap. Bruce has decades of experience and has been on tour with the pros drilling equipment. I'd highly doubt you can find anywhere around here that will beat their prices either. Very nice people and also take the time to get it right (Meaning, they will watch you and film you while you bowl so they can get a better idea of how to drill your equipment).

    Yeah, I answered him in a private message. I didn't see the post earlier.

    Glad you have a shop that gives good value. It just seems to me that we put too much emphasis on low prices and lose sight of quality and service.
