Not Your Normal Pro Shop

Players Pro Shop is, first and formost, a TRAINING CENTER - Their focus is to educate each bowler, one bowler at a time, the proper fundamentals off bowling.

While they want to sell you a bowling ball, they, we need to analyze the customer's bowling game. Young, old, a beginner, league bower, scratch player - it does not matter. The ONLY WAY anyone can determine what ball is right for a bowler is to perform an on on-lane analysis of their skill level and to determine the weight of the ball they can handle.

Why An Appointment?

Our walk-in hours are mostly during league hours and we prefer that our customers schedule an appointment so that we will be able to dedicate all our time to fill their bowling needs.

All Bowlers Welcome

New bowlers, experienced bowler or just a bowler who wants to get better, call us. We will open your eyes as to how layouts effect a balls reaction to lanes, particularly when your personnel layout information is plugged into the process.

Importance of your Roll, PAP, and Axis Shifts

Want your ball drilled for your game?

Then you need to know your PAP, axis shift and track. Don't know what that all means? In the past, ball manufactures included a drill sheet with a new ball. The problem with that drill sheet is that is was wrong about 50% of the time. WHY? Because not everyone has the same Roll, PAP, and Axis Shift. That is the need for every bowler to have an on-lane analysis - to acquire all that information.

If a bowler buys a bowling ball without knowing their PAP, Axis Shift and Ball Track, they easily buy a ball that does not match up to their individual specs. Make sure you get the right ball. Make an appointment with us and get the ball for you.

Mo Rich Dual Angle

Players Pro Shop & Training Center uses the Mo Rich DUAL ANGLE LAYOUT System to design precise ball reactions. The Dual Angle Layout Technique is based on the physics of the ball and the bowler's style and insures the bowler gets the reaction that matches their style

Interchangeable Thumb Specialist

Players Pro Shop uses the "The Ultimate Thumb" and "Turbo Switch Grips" systems because they are the best.

Roger recommends "THE Ultimate Thumb" interchangeable system because it improves on the reliability, durability and ease of installation. Nothing wrong with Turbo's switch Switch Grip, he just favors the Ultimate Thumb.

Note: We DO NOT recommend, nor do we install, the VICE IT interchangeable thumb system due to its high failure rate.
