🎳 Ask the Pro Shop: What Does "Lane Shine" Mean?

Have you ever heard someone say, "My ball has too much lane shine"?

Every game you bowl slowly changes the surface of your bowling ball. As it rolls down the lane, the coverstock naturally becomes smoother, which can change how the ball reacts. Sometimes that change is small, and sometimes it's enough to make you wonder why your favorite ball doesn't react the way it used to.

The good news? It doesn't always mean you need a new bowling ball.

A professional surface adjustment or full resurface may be all it takes to get your reaction back.

Have you ever had a bowling ball that just didn't react like it used to? Stop in and let's take a look.

🎥 What Really Goes Into Drilling a Bowling Ball?

Many people think drilling a bowling ball is as simple as making three holes—but there's much more to it than that.

Every drilling starts with learning about the bowler. We consider your fit, comfort, style, and goals before the drill ever touches the ball. A properly drilled bowling ball can make a huge difference in comfort, consistency, and confidence on the lanes.

Want to see how the process works? We filmed one from start to finish!

🎳 Bowling Myth Monday

"My bowling ball is only two years old, so it can't need maintenance."

Actually...

The number of games you bowl matters much more than the age of the bowling ball.

A ball that's been used for 100+ games may benefit from professional maintenance even if it's relatively new.

Regular resurfacing and rejuvenation can help restore performance and extend the life of your equipment.

Not sure if your ball is due? Bring it in—we'll take a look.

🎳 Ask the Pro Shop: What's the Biggest Mistake New Bowlers Make?

Most new bowlers think buying the strongest or most expensive bowling ball will automatically improve their scores.

The truth is, proper fit and the right equipment for YOUR game are much more important.

Whether you're brand new to bowling or getting back into the sport after several years away, we're here to help you make a confident decision.

What was the first bowling ball you ever owned?
