Do they stick a wide selection in various weight (especially 14 and 15 lb)Originally Posted by got_a_300
At our center the drilling price is included in the price of the ball it usually
runs somewhere around $35-45 for drilling when you take off the price of
the ball and grips.
The new owners do not want you to buy a ball online and bring it there to
have it drilled they just say no unless you want to take responsibility for
the ball if it cracks and then pay somewhere around $60+ just for the drill
no grips or extras included in that price.

They hardly stock any balls at all they have maybe 8-10 new balls at any given time
as the Pro shop isn't very big at all. I think I've seen walk in closets bigger than the
Pro shop at our center. LOL!!!!

The only reason I ask is they want you to buy balls from them but sounds like they don't have much selection so more than likely they would have to order your ball. Sounds like they are leaving money on the table by not jumping at drilling balls customers bring in.
My shop was DINKY, so there was no physical way I could have had a large amount of inventory, and even then I tried to keep it small.
There are only 3 kinds of bowling balls.
1) The kind the customer asks for.
2) The kind the customer actually needs.
3) The kind the pro shop has in stock and needs to move.
I tried to keep from having the 3rd type.
When a customer wanted a new ball, we would discuss whether to get a type 1, or type 2.
The next day before I opened, I would stop by the distributor and pick up the equipment people had requested.
Later that day I had it drilled, and by the time the customer would come back, the ball was ready to go.
Effectively "my" inventory was stored in a LARGE warehouse owned by Steve Cook.
