I ended up finding a really great pro shop in a place near Six Flags. So glad I drove all the way out there because they had really knowledgeable people and 3 different one's spent time with my grandson to watch him bowl with demo balls to make sure to track his rotation and get him the best ball for him. After getting the proper inserts in he was able to bowl a couple of games free just to really get the feel of his new bowling ball and he is really excited for future bowling. It is Wicks Pro Shop at the International Training and Resource Center 621 Six Flags Dr. Arlington .
I might hit them up, thanks.

I used to bowl all through the 70's and 80's and there were tons of bowling alleys around DFW. My grandson recently got interested in it and even though I have seen all of the changes over the years and haven't bowled myself since those early years I was kind of blown away when doing research for places to bowl. I had a hard time even finding a place to bowl and thinking about the days when I would sometimes bowl 4 nights a week in leagues and then on Saturday nights in what I think they called the Carnival events where you bowled for money I wondered how it could have been so popular and now if many people at all are bowling in leagues. Anyway my grandson was wanting to get his own ball and I even thought about getting myself one (my old Rhino, Hammer and Columbia Yellow Dots are long gone). I didn't have a clue where you would even go to find a ball and have them drilled to fit your fingers, although he is one of the young guys that doesn't even use a finger tip grip or put fingers in the ball at all. Any help would be appreciated. The USBC headquarters is in Arlington on Six Flags Drive. I think they have a pretty nice bowling alley and proshop as well. There's another AMF center on Cooper that had a pro shop years ago. Not sure about now. If you go to the USBC website you can search for nearby bowling centers.

I was a pin monkey at Golden Triangle Bowl in Irving in the late 80's. One of the funnest jobs I ever had. I pulled more tail out of that place than you could shake a stick at.

Back in the late 80's early 90's I used to go to the Don Carter lanes in Dallas and on Sunday morning early you could bowl 1 hour for $5. I could get 10 games in 1 hour. Talked to Michale Irvin one day as some of the Cowboys players were hosting a kids outing.
