    I believe the pro shop at the center had this and just through it in. I had it done earlier in the year from a different person and it just confirmed my specs as they were very close from on session to the next. It is worth getting done if someone in your area does it. Steve

    I went to one a LONG time ago. I thought it was a waste of time.

    But, I think for the "average bowler" who might be looking for a ball...maybe there is some value. For me, I can evaluate the balls based on their specs and past experience with the brand or similar brands. And, it's not an exact system...but neither is "demo days". To really get a good match (bowler to ball)...you need a coach that watches you bowl and develop and knows your arsenal and where there are obvious holes or which balls just aren't working. "Demo Days" isn't going to do that...they're just gonna let ya actually throw the ball a little bit so you're buying it with a tiny amount of knowledge versus the usual "zero knowledge" where the bowler just buys it because its pink or smells like grapes.
