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.

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.
