How Your Pro Shop Can Increase Your Bowling Average!

[@TrandafirRuby]

It's really sad that there are so many pro shop operators that are not good. There are so many that hate 2 handers. There are pro shop guys that have 0 idea about layouts and don't believe in them. There are also so many that look down on bowlers and very rude if we are not an established pro. I'm so glad I was able to find a pro shop that works for me that actually ask my opinion and ball reviews and allow me to help with bowlers and have me present bowling balls to customers and they know what I'm talking about. Even discuss what would be a good layout for x bowler. All above in the video is amazing. Plus, make sure to practice spares. Lessons are there for anyone, no matter the level.

Can confirm - Mike is super patient and very, very helpful! I won’t use anyone else. I wish I wasn’t so busy and I could swing by more often! Thanks for all your help!

[@marym470]

Never had a pro shop operator find my pap or watch me throw a ball. Had to find my own, bought armadillo to help me be accurate on location of pap. I have found a pro shop who will not drill a ball for anyone with out watching them throw a ball, and finds their pap. The pro shops I used to go to drilled same layout on everyone's balls.

[@andrewflower2991]

This sounds like the shop we deal with at the moment. They stay busy and use that as the excuse that everyone gets the same unless you’re one of those guys who hangs in the pro shop from open to close.

[@marym470]

@@andrewflower2991 Being a women they really don't care, think you probably only average 100. ( Add 89 to 100 more to that.) GGRRRR

[@andrewflower2991]

@@marym470 it certainly sucks! even if I couldn’t bowl a lick my money is just as good as the next guy/gal. You bowling in the 190s is impressive especially when you can’t get any help 👍

Thanks Mikey! These are incredibly useful tips. Keep up the content!

[@byronfranek2706]

Great recommendations. Love your channel.

[@ThaHomieNitty_Bowls]

Love the way you teach us great vids bro thank you

[@kennyrobertson4673]

Thank you for these tips, I didn’t know the surface would change that fast 😮 I will definitely stay on top of that!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Pros will surface dull balls every single block of bowling to get that fresh feel and so should league bowlers!

[@texasplumr]

Since I haven't been measured in 20 years I guess it's time I get re measured and fit. Thanks for the reminder Mikey!

[@Jason-qt8bm]

Excellent video and tips

[@CaponeSlays]

Very good tips

[@seansmock8840]

Yes! Definitely change your grips.

[@soaplesstv]

This is a "Visit your pro shop" ad and it is much needed. Too many people at league bowling with 6-7 year old equipment and wonder why "it's not doing the thing anymore".

[@TraumaER]

This video is 1000% accurate.

[@thatbazan210]

W mikey thanks ❤

[@azev88]

I've seen pro able to switch grip without using tools, why is my turbo switch grip are so tight that I need to use the tools to swap thumbs ?? What model/brand do you recommend for switchgrips thumb ??

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@azev88 just try to turn it with authority! Sometimes the operator may not have installed it completely straight which could make it tough to get out

[@lockedonlaw]

Last Tip: See an Eye Doctor, whether you think you need to or not, if you are over 40. You might be missing your target because your vision isn't what it used to be.

[@nikkozamora6621]

As much as I agree with you, I feel like I’d piss off my PSO for coming so often😂

[@kyleb5169]

Nah you are making them money lol

[@EviLNox8]

When should a new bowler get their pap checked? I'm still trying to develop a consistent release and don't always release the same. Plus as my hand and arm strengthens, I'm able to cup the ball a little differently. So is the time still now to get my pap checked or when should I do that? I'd like to get a stronger ball but don't want to waste money if it can't be layed out properly.

[@tvbowlingsupply]

When you feel comfortable with your release would probably be a good time! Or if you feel like your balls aren’t reacting the way you’d like them to

[@EviLNox8]

@@tvbowlingsupply i only have a hussle rip with a "neutral" layout they called it, and a mix for spares. I'd like more hook on a ball. I know I'm not generating a lot of revs at this stage but if i miss right, my hussle burns out in the dry on the sides of the lane and then I basically hit about the right of the 6 pin. When i miss left and slide through all the oil, ill Brooklyn. So I'd like a stronger ball so I can move more left and let it do it's hooking on the dry.

[@Stroles84]

Is pap only needed for asym?

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@Stroles84 every ball with a weight block!

[@DaMaxchi]

Is it practical for me to take advantage of some of these tips remotely? With your new online store about to open, is it feasible for me to provide all pertinent information so that I can purchase a ball and drilling based on your recommendation for ball/layout? Thanks!

[@tvbowlingsupply]

@@DaMaxchi these tips work for anyone, anywhere!

[@j6s0n]

All good info, didn't think about changing out my grips in some of my balls

[@manuellapena3928]

Hi Michael, what is the name of your shop & address? Thanks

[@Rayjaysoldier]

By bringing back to box does that mean resurfacing

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Just either sanding/polishing a ball back to its original surface. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a full resurface

[@unknown00465]

make your spareSSS!! lol

[@ThaHomieNitty_Bowls]

That’s what I’m lacking at the moment confidence

[@Cody7Lee]

you forgot to deoil the bowling ball to get the oil out of the ball for once the bowling season is done

[@therealhonestraider7921]

All of what you said is great... But if the Houses Panels are all out of spec by 15 years+(hpl surface is over 30yrs old)... and oil cant be applied correctly/evenly due to uneven surfaces at MESA EAST BOWL here in Mesa AZ... and Bowleros in Arizona are all ran into the ground, smell, dirty, and lane maintenance is ran by a minimum wage moron... how does anyone increase an average? The ENTIRE STATE of Arizona treats bowling like Putt Putt Golf and Games... rather than a sport. Unless you live in a state that Bowling is POPULAR & Respected... No pro shop in AZ will ever fix anything.

[@livarusgta8288]

Basically make your spares kids.

[@johnwillock6787]

Shouldn’t you always have a spare thumb in the bag, preferably used in practise?

[@tvbowlingsupply]

Spare interchangeable thumbs are always good idea!

[@rhegafd]

I find that pro shops dont charge for deep cleaning or bringing your ball back to out of box which bugs me. Im grateful of course but I want to support my shop and pay them when they do something for me. I leave a big tip when I do it (which is rare) Good tips.

[@xouijit77]

No, your pro shop doesn't charge YOU to deep clean your balls. That does not mean they don't charge everyone. Most pro shops charge and post that price on their menus. If your PSO do you a solid, then the least you can do it's take care of them.

[@rhegafd]

@@xouijit77 interesting. Yeah, I always make sure to take care of them bc they are so generous.

[@irvingtom3453]

yes proshop does help but not in Perth, you prob get koalas n kangaroos here.

[@mrscoob3450]

My solid dull asymmetric balls seem to shine fast and change. I usually clean and hit them with a light 2000 after every session.
