I used to be an adamant league bowler back in my early twenties. I was away from the sport for 20+ years until most recently.
I came to Apex Bowling Pro Shop for assistance on my 20+ years bowling ball. I called before heading over here. I spoke with Memo (owner). He was very nice on the phone. He was even nicer in person.
This pro shop is located inside Chaparral Lanes in San Dimas. It has a wide selection of bowling balls, shoes, and other accessories. After my arrival, I explained to Memo the issue I was having with my bowling ball. The first thing he noticed was my thumb hole which he said was too big. The second thing he saw was how I rolled the ball unorthodoxically which I already knew LOL.
He recommended adding tape inside the thumb hole and also using thumb tape on the thumb to help keep the thumb slightly snugged and still have a solid release. In addition, he helped me with my form and stance at the time of ball release. I went with his recommendations. His assistant, Shawn, put the tape in the thumb hole. He gave me a couple thumb tapes to try out free of charge. Thank you!
The next time I bowled, I did much better. I returned here a few days later and bought a package of the thumb tape. Thank you so much Memo and Shawn for your expertise, time, and help. I appreciate your professionalism and exceptional service. I look forward to returning here when I need new bowling equipment and supplies.
If you're a seasoned bowler or just starting out and need bowling expertise, go see Memo. He can help! read more
