I am very much an amateur bowler, and was gifted a personalized ball. My family said it was part of my Christmas present. Based on other reviews, I visited this shop. The three gentlemen were all very polite and professional. They were patient, offered suggestions and tips, and did not treat me like the novice I am. The work was professional, fast, and more than I was expecting. I am very happy with their work, and intend to be a repeat customer.

I chose this place because the reviews were great. My personal experience matched the reviews. Gary “The Guru” Parsons is in a league of his own (pun intended). His care for providing the best experience and tailoring the ball to the bowler is truly world class. I’m an average, recreational bowler who’s getting back into it and introducing my wife to bowling as well. Gary talked to us about how certain things affected how we would throw and thoroughly educated us on why we were measured the way we were. I’m very happy and grateful.

One of the best new bowling experiences ever, Gary measured my fingers and hand to perfection. He is the 1st wonder of the bowling world. All the guys in the shop are very knowledgeable on how to set up a bowling ball which can give you a better shot at one day reaching perfection. It helps to know your throwing speed and if you want a 3 or 2-finger ball. I started with a 2 finger but went back and got the thumb drilled for greater stability. My arsenal is now 900 global Zen and Soul so I will be going back shortly to get the Zen U. Tomorrow I will be going to get thumb quick-release slugs put in. Best bowling shop in the DMV and trust I'm critical of everything. Now the shop will get a little claustrophobic with all the people being in such a small shop but it is worth every penny when you get the service, expertise, and legendary measurements to make your bowling top-notch.

Gary clearly knows his stuff. The fitting I got for my new ball thorough and also very informative. Bowled a personal best today 215 after getting the new ball and fitted by Gary. Definitely going back again!

I bought a spare ball and a 900 Zen from here...This has to be the best ball I have ever gotten drilled...The gentleman aka the guru took all my hand measurements and asked me my style of play...this ball definitely translated on the lanes...I will be back to get the rest of my equipment plugged. No one else will be drilling my bowling balls from here on out

Best bowling shop in DMV area period. Gary has been setting up bowlers for longer then I've been living. Attention to detail, attention to detail, attention tooo detail. Have some time if it's your first time setting up your ball. He will ask, measure, review, and analyze everything to make sure your ball rips through those pins. Place looks a little crazy when you come it, but this store has every ball and shoe you need. Definitely a must for getting serious at this game.

Knowledgeable staff made experience of buying balls, shoes easier and less intimidating. I will go there again in future. There is a science to measuring a hand to customize the holes in a bowling ball. I found the process very interesting.

NEXT LEVEL service. As in, if you want to get to the next level in bowling this is the place to go. Bowling is less about the ball and more about how you release and roll the ball. The expertise of Gary (the f’ing GURU!) is amazing. The drill is 100% tailored to YOU, YOUR hand, YOUR release, based on the latest info. One visit transformed my game. I’ve been a “good” bowler (195 average) for 20+ years. I now feel the sky is the limit. I cannot be happier. UPDATE: Bowled a 685 first night out. Only regret is not knowing this ten years ago! SECOND UPDATE: Bowled two 700 series and ended the year with 201 average, up 5 points. I HOPE that I can find someone to drill a ball copying what the Guru has done going forward (moving to Ohio this year). Don’t hesitate to take your game further!

Excellent service and plenty of knowledge. I had several balls with different spans and thumb pitches, Gary and Pooh were able to correct.
