Stopped by to get some new bowling balls drilled, Jed was amazing with setting them up for me. Cool dude

We stopped by to check out some bowling shoes. This shop is tucked into a corner at the Concourse bowling alley right by the restrooms. They had these REALLY nice white leather shoes that were reasonably priced, but I'm not good with maintaining white shoes so I didn't get them unfortunately but they will be on the back of my mind lol. The shop owner was incredibly helpful and friendly. I'm not an avid bowler, but this is a shop I would give my business to if I decide to pick up bowling. read more

10th Frame Pro Shop - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

I recently started my bowling journey and Minh, the pro shop owner, definitely helped me with it! He took my measurements and drilled my ball catering to a beginner since I've never had a custom ball drilled for me. Bowling with house balls was a pain since my fingers are skinny and none of the higher weighted balls fit me at all, I sprained my middle finger bowling with them. I've bowled with the balls Minh drilled for me and man, let me tell you guys that it fits well and releases very nicely with no pain even though I have a sprained finger! Minh was very busy working solo this particular day and there was a full alley because league bowling just started, Minh was composed and finished my drilling. I was referred to this shop and this shop has lower prices compared to other shops, I recommend bowlers check this shop out, and to any beginners looking to start their bowling journey as well! Minh and Jed will get you set and ready to bowl! read more

Highly recommended by yelpers and in calling around, 10th Frame Pro Shop offered the best prices for drilling my two newly purchased bowling balls. Kent helped me with exactly what I needed. Super knowledgeable and gave great suggestions as to what would be better in the drilling options. This is a very small shop but big in knowledge and what would be better for your game. What I spent for drilling two finger tipped balls was almost what I would've spent elsewhere for just one ball. I will return here for any bowling needs that become in the future. read more

After several bad experiences at other pro shops, I was beyond happy with Jed's customer service. Other places we called/went to did not seem to want to give us the time of day because we were new bowlers. Jed was extremely welcoming as soon as we walked in. He answered our many questions and helped my husband and I find our first bowling balls. He was very patient and encouraging. If I could give him more stars, I would. We're we're both able to get balls, shoes, and bags. The prices were the best that I've seen compared to other shops as well. 10/10 would definitely recommend. read more

All I have to say is that this bowling pro shop is the worst customer service I have ever seen in my life. Minh the owner has such a horrible attitude problem. If he doesn't pick up your phone the first time, expect a ton of attitude and unclear answers from him when he does pick up So basically from my experience, I called in on Friday asking if I could get my balled drilled and he told me to come in at 5pm on Sunday. I came in at 5pm but the store was close and I asked the staff if he was going to come in. The bowling alley staff were completely nice and told me to try to give him a call. I gave him 3-4 calls, but doesn't pick up once. I was a little worried and annoyed because I drove 30 mins to Anaheim hoping to get my balled drilled on time. I waited until 6pm, an hour after my set appointment, until he arrived When he does show up to his shop, he gets all worked up about me calling him 3-4 times. I apologized to him, but he goes on talking about his pet peeve of how he doesn't like people calling him multiple times. I absolutely don't understand this man. Aren't business owners suppose to pick up their client's calls or at least show some sort of response that shows that he's coming late. All I wanted was a response either through text or call telling me that he is on the way or isn't coming in today. I don't even know why I apologized to him as I tried to understand his personal life problems. After that, I gave him my ball and he took my measurements. Heads up, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to drilling balls so I don't know the process exactly. For some reason, he takes my left hand for measurements even though I'm righted handed. I thought this process was normal so I just went with the flow. I'm pretty sure I told him in the beginning that I was right handed, but I guess he didn't grasp that important detail in the beginning as it looked like he was stressing about something with his lawyer. So basically he took my left hand measurement and run back into his shop to get the ball drilled. He finishes the drill and notices that I was righted handed as I was testing out the ball. He gets all mad with me saying why didn't you say you were righted handed and I told him, you literally took my left hand to measure. He begins giving me hella attitude for no reason and I'm starting to get really annoyed. Long story short, he ordered me another ball which was suppose to come in 2 days later. I told him to give me a text when it comes in 2 days later, I texted him, no reply. I called him and he actually picked up on the first call. I asked him if my ball was in and he says he's not sure as he states he was not at the store at all today. He says he'll be there soon. I then asked him if I can come in today and he's gives you such uncertain answer like "it's up to you, but there's a slim chance I can get it done." At this point, I'm actually done with this guy so I asked him straight up again " Do I come in or no?" He replies with the same response but with more attitude. Then he ends up saying "im busy right now, you're slowing me down. Just come now" and then just hangs up. I didn't end up coming that day as I didn't want to drive 30 mins up for him not ending up doing it. LONG STORY SHORT, Minh is absolutely the worst possible business owner you can possible encounter.I tried to be patience, but his attitude problem is too much to handle. I really wish I was exaggerating about this review. This is my experience with him and I have to say, I wouldn't never want to go to this pro frame shop again even if it's the last in the world. I would rather bowl drill-less than go through this again. read more

Minh knows his stuff. I called in on a Sunday afternoon to see if they were busy or not and he told me to drop on by to get some quick work done. This is my first time getting a ball drilled of my own and i'm so glad I found this place. This guy is as honest, patient, and friendly as one can be! I got my hand measured and he told me it'll be about 7 minutes and a total of $25 for the drilling. Make sure you check in on yelp to get that 5% off, so I paid a low price of just $20. Afterwards, he gave me a few pointers and did some final adjustments. I will definitely come back here in the future when I do purchase some more balls of my own or get some professional feedback. read more

This guy is awful. Has no idea to treat a customer let alone run a business. It gives store hours here, yet its based on appointments only. I call, he doesn't pick up. I try and leave a voicemail, and his phone has no space for messages. I txt him, he doesn't respond for hours/days. All I want, is to get holes in my ball so I can use it and he can't even do that. Horrible customer service. The concourse needs to get rid of this guy. read more

Probably the worst pro shop I've ever experienced. Minh is literally a disaster. Doesn't show up for appointments. We'll never go back.

WOW, open 7 days and early or late...he even open the shop (great stock), measured my hand and drilled the ball while he explained in detail what he was doing!!! Then walked over to the lane and made sure the thumb was comfortable and I was happy.. AMAZING..I am a FAN!! This is one of the best pro-shop, Minh (owner) is great and very helpful...I have been to OTHER pro-shops and they make me feel like I should not be standing on "THEIR CARPET"... 5 STARS for 10th Frame! thanks read more

10th Frame Pro Shop - Ready to go!! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

This place has a great welcoming feeling. Great owners Minh and Cendy are excellent and friendly. They are very knowledgeable and go the extra mile and help you out with any questions you have. I called on a sunday night to see if they had a ball in stock which they didn't but said they can order it for me and it would be there tuesday. I placed the order and got a text message from the shop on tuesday saying my ball had arrived. Minh gave my ball a great drilling layout so I decided to try out the ball on the lanes, while bowling Minh was watching and came over to talk and give pointers which shows they really care about their customers. With competitive prices, passion for their customers and bowling10th Frame Pro Shop is a bowling shop jewel. read more

Arrived during their posted business hours 1-7pm only to find out they would "be back at 5pm." Bowling alley was open, but somehow pro shop wasn't. read more

I definitely had a different experience here than basically every other review which is very odd to me. I want to try to be factual and straight forward here instead of just ranting and this turning in to a review that others don't take seriously, but please know this, I'm am EXTREMELY irritated as I am typing this. You've been warned. My dad got me a bowling ball, shoes, and a bag from this shop for Christmas. I had specifically asked my dad to get me a 8 lbs. ball because that is what I am comfortable bowling with. I know this...how do I know? Because it's my arm. I had JUST been bowling around Thanksgiving and I tried bowling with 8 lbs, 9 lbs, and 10 lbs. The 8 is what I bowled best with. When I opened my gift, my dad said he got a 10 lbs ball because "the owner told him 8 lbs were only for children." Well, that's cool, but not what I asked for and I knew I did not want 10 lbs., period. However, my dad told me that he said I could come in and exchange the shoes or the ball at my leisure. Fast forward to the 26th and I am going to drive down from Corona to Anaheim to exchange the ball and get it drilled. I called the bowling alley and asked what time the shop would be open. The guy said, "Ummmm he usually comes between like 1 and 2 but we never really know." Okay, that's weird for a business, so I went online to check since there was a website on his business card. Straight from his website: Monday- Closed Tues-Fri: 1-8pm Sat-Sun: 2-8pm So according to his website, he should have been there at 1pm on the 26th since it was a Tuesday. We got there at 1...sign on his door (those little ones with the clock) says open at 2. That sign is hanging directly OVER a sign that is taped to his door which details the business hours above....so I'm looking at a sign that says open at 1, with a clock that says opening at 2. Not gonna lie...I'm irritated at this point. I call the number on his business card to ask where he is and what time he'd actually be there since his signs are giving conflicting information. He tells me 2 and asks what I need. I explain the ball weight. He argues with me on the phone saying I should be using at least a 10. I say, actually no, I'm bowling right now with a 10 and it hurts me.He argues some more. I say I'll think about it just so I can hang up. He gets there at 2, I go and tell him I thought about it and I want a 9 so I need to exchange. I can tell he's offended I didn't take his "professional advice" and he says "fine, give me your ball and come back tomorrow I have to order one." I hand him my ball expecting a receipt but he gives me nothing. I say, "So that's it? You don't have to give me something?" He says, "See you tomorrow." It seemed weird to me and my husband said absolutely not, that we weren't leaving with nothing so he went and got my ball back. We left. I came home the same day and wrote him an email because I wanted to make sure he was going to order the ball still. I asked him to please email me back when the ball came in. Never got an email response. The next day, around 3pm my husband calls and asks if he ordered the ball. He says yes that it should be there sometime that day (27th) but he doesn't know the time. We asked if he could please call us or email me back when the ball came in since I can't drive from Corona to Anaheim every day. We also asked what time he'd be open until that day (again, according to website and sign on the door it should be 8pm, but I was starting to realize that those are apparently just suggestions). He said it "wasn't a good day because he was leaving at 5pm". Ok. Strike 2 on the whole pesky business hours thing. At this point, I couldn't get back down there until Jan. 2nd (today). So again, business hours says he's open at 1pm (Wednesday)....I bet you know what happens next..that's right folks! STRIKE 3! We get there at 1pm and of course, the clock sign says 2pm hanging over the taped sign that says 1pm. OMG! So we left, and came back AND HE WAS THERE! We walked in, said we were there for a 9 lbs ball. He did a sizing for the drilling. He said to come back in 10 minutes and the drilling would be done. 10 minutes? Now, 10 minutes using what clock? Because 10 minutes to me would certainly be different than 10 minutes to him since 1pm to me is 2pm to him (apparently). Suffice it to say, by 10 mins he meant 25 minutes but honestly, I was expecting it at that point. While doing the fitting he asked about my acrylic nails and if I'd "always have them". Yup, I would. So then he says, "Well just so you know, your nails won't last it will rub them off." I said "no worries, it's gel polish it doesn't rub off" He says, "yes it will. I do nails." Well he must not do them well bc I had just bowled 3 games and they were fine! It became clear to me, he just needs to be right about things/have the last word. I've known these kind of people before, not people I want to do business with, it drives me nuts. I won't return here. read more

10th Frame Pro Shop - So sign says open at 1pm (it's a Tuesday when I took this) but clock sign says 2pm. Hmmmm - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

Some friends and I wanted to get into bowling and join a league so we decided to look for bowling balls. We had some background in our styles from years ago, so we looked online for deals. We the yelp reviews on 10th frame bowling and am glad that we did. We were mostly sold on the instagram site name minh sanity. You can't not have a good time there with a name like that. We walked in wanting expensive balls with strong hooks (hammer widow, hyroad, etc) but Minh gave us some details about the makeup of the balls and told us it would make the game more difficult as balls were hooking stronger than when we played years ago. We chose to go with the Storm Match Up balls per Minh's recommendation. It's a step up from beginners but not too high where it couldn't be controlled. Since they weren't in stock in the weights we wanted, he was able to order it for us with fast shipping. Remember, shops can't carry every variation on every ball. 10th frame also provided great ball, dexter shoes, and bag package deals. First thing my friend said was, "dude, we can order it online for cheaper!" No you can't. The package deal INCLUDES drilling! Most places will charge you around 25-30. Add drilling and shipping and you won't find it cheaper online by a good margin. Minh also gave us some damn good mexican candy and some good jokes. Bowlingballs.com doesn't provide that. The only con I could think of was that he is very busy but he still got us our balls on the day and time we requested. We ditched work early and had to wait as he had other orders that were ahead of us. Tested out the ball last night and it was a great choice similar to the El Nino ball I used. The holes were a bit small for my style so I will definitely go back. We also need shirts for a team and wanted to ask him about his embroidery prices. Highly recommend 10th frame. Great experience and Minh-sane prices! Thanks Minh! I forgot the taco eating dude's name. read more

Was looking into buying a new ball for light oil patterns, and knew which ball i was eventually going to pick up. Went to Concourse for a little family outing, and saw that 10th Frame was conveniently located in the alley. Decided to pop in and look around. When looking around, i noticed they had the exact same ball I was looking for. After speaking to Minh and his staff for a bit, i soon realized they were very knowledgeable and offered great advice. Their prices on the balls were lower than most, if not, all of the nearby shops in my area, so decided to take the leap and purchase the ball. While waiting for the ball to be drilled, realized that this little gem was constantly packed with other customers. I would definately come back and refer others to this place. P S. That chair they have in the shop was suprisingly super comfy lol read more

Minh is a great shop owner. I didn't do my research properly and got too strong of a ball (online). I originally got that ball drilled from Minh and he did good work, making sure my fingers and thumb insert felt right. Gave me some sample tape on my thumb too. In the end I wasn't able to adjust to that ball. I took the ball in for a trade /credit. For a high end ball, he gave me a fair trade in price (especially since I found it cheap online). If you paid full msrp for a high end, might be more worth it to sell on own. As he said, I might be able to make more selling on Craigslist but to me it'd be too much trouble for me. Instead, I went with a trade in and got advice on what ball to get. After his advice and doing a little research before hand, he let me demo the 3 balls I was thinking about. Don't hesitate to rent a lane and demo balls from him. I decided to go with one of them and got it at a fair price. Ball fits my style perfectly. Pricing is comparable to online, once you consider that it includes drilling with the benefit of getting it same day (same goes for shoes and accessories). With both balls he drilled he gave a pretty standard layout for my style. I'm sure he can do it more specific if you knew exactly what you wanted. Other pros and cons... Pro: fair pricing, excellent service/advice, 5% discount with yelp, demo balls before buying, trade-ins, used balls, good inventory of balls (quick order if not). Cons: busy busy shop/wait, smaller shop. Pros outweigh the cons for sure! read more

Highly recommend going to 10th Frame Pro Shop if you are looking to get fitted for your own ball. I'm just picking up bowling and wanted to get fitted for my own ball since I was experiencing arm and finger pain from using the house balls. Within 35 minutes of arriving I was measured and handed my nicely drilled Rhino ball. Minh also took the time to give me some "bowling 101" pointers and made sure I had the form down. These tips sure helped, my first game with my new ball I bowled a 170. read more

The owner has an attitude and always doing something , either close or cannot help you. I picked the ball on Monday night he left without taking measurement , came back on Wednesday paid for it and he took the measurement and he said will be done by Thursday we showed up on Friday he is standing in front of the store and claim that shop is close and cannot give us the ball . Horrible experience been bowling at this bowling alley for 17 years everyone is courteous and nice but this pro shop is not at the same level as the staff and management . read more

I got my first ball, shoes and bag here!!! Minh was really helpful and informative. He was so kind and patient with me in picking out a ball. I have a hard time making up my mind. I didn't want just a ball that has a pretty color. I wanted one that was going to last and improve my game. I knew nothing about bowling really, but after an hour and a half I finally picked a ball. He let me watch as he drilled and engraved my name on the ball. Really cool! After all that he even open up a lane and let me test drive my new investment. He also gave me some tips on how to throw. I beat my boyfriend that frame! I couldn't have had a better experience. I highly recommend first timers and even pros to come here for all your bowling needs. read more

I thought everyone exaggerated but nope, Minh is the real deal. If you're looking for a new ball or gear, this is definitely the place. All ball prices include custom drilling. He'll point out some great ball choices based on what you're looking for. Drilling and re-measuring takes about 5-10 minutes. He'll give you a few tips and you're on your way. Also, i'd recommend checking out their facebook, they keep you updated on new performance balls that come in and occasionally have special deals. read more

I've been bowling competitively for over 20 years and have gone through numerous pro shop owners.. all have the same attitudes of just trying to make business and getting you in & out of the door. Minh & Cendy are totally opposite of that.. I cannot speak highly enough of the great customer service these owners bring.. not to mention, their knowledge of bowling. I first contacted them after finding a listing of an on-sale ball I was looking for. They were quick to respond and promised to hold on to the specific weight/ball for me until I came in. When I came in, they were very friendly and welcoming. Minh spoke to me a little bit about my game and what I was looking for in the ball. He quickly matched the fit of one of my other balls, which came out identical! One thing I appreciated is how he explained the drilling process and why things are measured the way they are and why balls are drilled to specific layouts. Loved the ball, loved the drilling.. and then a few weeks and a dozen games in, the ball started to form a huge crack. It's a common thing to happen, I'm just glad it happened early enough to where the warranty still kicks in. I immediately contacted Minh, he sent over the warranty to Storm.. the next day, he had me come in & he drilled out a brand new ball for me, free of charge! Awesome! This shop is great.. they carry all the new and popular equipment out there. The prices are unbeatable! I probably would have spent $60-$70 more if I bought the ball cheap online and got it drilled from some other shop. If you have any questions about bowling, don't hesitate to contact these guys.. they definitely represent the image of bowling, as a family sport! read more

10th Frame Pro Shop - Fresh storm tropical ball, dexter shoes, and a nice bowling ball/shoe carry bag for $162 tax included - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

I decided to come here when I finally got the chance to grab my first ball. All the yelp reviews were great so I gave it a shot. When I walked in, Cindy helped me out and educated me on all the types of bowling balls: core, weights, styles, etc. After a while, Cindy had to head off somewhere and Minh helped me out. He told me a lot more stuff and I can tell he's really into it. That's good. I mean, why selling bowling balls if you don't really like bowling in the first place. Minh is a PBA member so he had the experience. I decided on a Storm Tropical Breeze and Minh told me about his demo program that no other places offer. You basically choose a drilled ball and try it out on the lanes. It's great! Very reasonable price and I'm definitely coming back for future balls. My buddy who went with me will also get his balls here. I haven't bowl my new ball yet because I have no time but I'm excited of how it will turn out! read more

Pretty cool pro shop. They have a good selection, and good promotion as well. Minh is beyond accommodating, very helpful, and has a chill, easygoing personality. Although it was my first time getting a ball, he made my decision making easy. Also gave us tips on how to bowl better. Overall, it was an excellent experience. There are pro shops closer to my neighborhood but I'd definitely prefer to come here instead. read more

10th Frame Pro Shop - 10th Frame Pro Bowling Shop - Sporting Goods Near Me - Anaheim, California

I've been bowling about once a week for the past few months with my girlfriend. I decided I'd invest in my own ball and shoes (I'm a novice/beginner with a very low average). When I first came in Minh was busy with another customer. They where talking about how the customer wanted his ball drilled and what effect the customer wanted out of the ball. They talked for a while once, they finished I explained that I was looking to purchase my first ball. Minh helped me pick out a ball and drilled it to fit my hand. Once the ball was drilled he had me roll it on the carpet. He explained my faults and told me what I needed to work on and practice on in order to make my score better. Minh is a super cool knowledgable guy who didn't discriminate against a beginner like me. His prices are cheap and he wants his customers to have fun. This place easily deserves 5 stars. read more
