    Yep, they are a regular pro shop. Next time I'm down along the shoreline I may stop in to try them out.

    While much of Buddies Pro shop's business is online, they are still a place where, if you happen to be in Fairfield CT, you can walk into Nutmeg Bowl and deal with them directly. Since bowling balls are fitted for individuals automation would not be cost effective. Maybe if you were drilling large numbers of house balls where all the pitches are the same, and you're only giving a limited number of options for spans and hole diameters you could do it. You would probably need 90% of the market to get any payback on the cost of that kind of specialized equipment.

    I was just wondering wouldn't the scribe lines come
    out after you had a surface refinish or two?

    Yes, after a few sanding's the lines would be gone (at least mostly depending on how much you sand and the grits used).

    But It would all depend on just how heavy handed the PSO was and how deep he got the scribe lines.
