Thread: Avg. drilling prices??

  1. #1

    Default Avg. drilling prices??

    My local shop charges $50.00 for drilling regardless if you buy the ball from them or not. Finger inserts are $5.00 extra for each finger.

    Wow, that seems a bit steep to me...hope you get great service for that price!?
    My local shop charges $45 for drilling, which includes the inserts. (I've never bought a ball from them so I don't know if it would be less/free in that case or not)

    If price of the ball you want to buy is not the same as online prices RUN!!! My pro shop charges $50 for any ball you bring in. If you buy a ball from the pro shop the drilling price is included. That's why most balls at my local pro shop cost about 30-50$ more then online prices. If he has a ball that's 199$ then 50$ to drill and you can buy that same ball for 149$ shipped online do that.

    Yep, local place here is usually $50 more but that includes drilling so you really don't save by buying online. I've only looked at entry level balls (Tropical Storm, Cyclone)

    Nice bowl1820! That's around what I'm paying. But it looks like we might be towards the low end!
