Do you prefer to buy your bowling equipment from pro shops or on-line?

i prefer my pro shop although ive never bought online. i find my proshop has really decent prices(bowlerx) and he can watch me bowl and give suggestions as to what i am looking to get out of the ball i want to purchase.

The guy at my local independent pro shop makes almost the same if he just drills or supplies too so he's happy to do either and as with yours, will often watch me bowl and offer coaching and equipment advice. His wife also teaches my daughter piano so we are considering just sending my wife's pay check direct to their bank to save time
