I have drilled 5 bowling balls here from MIKE so far.Some of those bowling balls were drilled wrong and I complained.MIKE told me he didn't drill my balls.So you're saying I'm lying?Even now I have one mis-drilled ballI will never visit this place again.

I wanted to buy a bowling ball!Amazon ? No you need it custom drilled!! I went to champions and the owner- Barry was a very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful guy!! His prices include the custom drilling. He even rolls the ball a few times in the store to make sure it fits.It could be a little bit cheaper somewhere else but the custom experience and knowledge was well worth it. Certain things are not worth getting on Amazon.Great experience!!!!I will be buying another one.

I'm not a bowler and I had never stepped inside a pro shop before. My wife joined a league, fell in love with the sport and wanted a ball for Christmas. She doesn't read my reviews so no chance of spoiling her holiday surprise. I knew these places existed, kinda like snipes and unicorns? ......... But can't you just buy this crap online? Great! I gotta go myself....since I was warned that the prices here are reasonable and, if there is a problem, you can deal with your weekly bowling alley shop and not have to keep sending a ball back and forth through Jeff Bezos' Interweb. Fine. I'm in. Send me to buy stuff I know nothing about. Next week, I'll learn how to crochet and make sourdough starter. Geez. I did actually blow the surprise with the wife, told her it was going to be a gift from the kids, and she needed to help or else she'd have to deal with fittings, styles and sizes later on her own. Barry runs this shop and he's a very cool guy. Very laid back and friendly to both the novice to professional. He was able to find a ball that fit her strength, experience and budget, did all of the precise sizing and made us feel very comfortable during the process. The ball was custom ordered, drilled and ready in 2 days. At least my wife will open a perfectly acceptable present on Christmas morning and be taken care of if tweaks are needed at her own bowling alley. They have very high ratings here for a reason.

Came in today to get a ball drilled. I left after getting berated by Barry about buying it online and not directly from them. He then let me know that he was going to be sure to make it more expensive than if had bought it from them. Not sure how he figured he was going to do that considering he had no idea what I paid for it, but he seemed heated and I wasn’t about to get into an argument at a bowling shop. We left, after which he followed us outside to continue making his point.Equipment here is marked up significantly, in some cases 2-3x what you can find it for elsewhere. Service is terrible. You’re better off going anywhere else.

I love this place! It's my favorite place to bowl. Have many great tournaments. So sorry it's closing And also love the pro shop! Barry and Mike are great drillers and very nice guys. Hope they open a shop somewhere else! Please do! No need to retire now!! Btw, I believe Barry Asher is not only a pro, he's in the Hall of Fame. Hope you guys stick around for a long time and continue to do what you do best!

Barry Asher is the BEST at what he does, and I now see why he had so many great, personal reviews! I am a novice bowler. Barry took the time to explain the different types of bowling balls, and he helped me pick the perfect one. Then, he spent time measuring the ball to my hand, and drilled it. Then he had me test it to make sure it fit well. He engraved my name on it and he even changed the green lettering to be yellow (which is not always possible) -- as I did not care for the green letters that were on my new purple ball. I bought a ball, shoes, and a rolling bowling bag and I could not be happier. I will be returning to his store for future needs. I highly recommend Barry and Champions Bowling & Embroidery.
