Brandi and Mike are top notch. Total pros and always helpful and polite. Highly recommended

My husband and I did a lesson and both purchased new balls. We hands down would recommend anyone to do the same if you start bowling. The knowledge and passion of Mike and Brandy was a pleasure and very appreciated. Brandy explains things very well and really helps you understand what your body needs to be doing. A lesson with save you unnecessary pain and money, we are a year in and very happy we found them now. read more

Re-fitted my thumb hole. Great service and skilled workmanship. They were so pleasant

My hunny wanted bowling gear for an anniversary gift. We met with Brandi, who listened to our experience level and goals, and recommended sensible gear. She then turned us over to Mike, who measured us and drilled our balls. We had a thoroughly great time, got some quality gear and had a lot of fun. read more

Went today with my fiancé to get a ball of his own and the guy in there was super informative and welcoming. Not only did he teach us both a lot about the difference of bowling balls and helped us find a ball perfect for him and his style. Got a ball because of him and couldn't be happier with the service. We'll be recommending him to everyone we know! read more

Huge selection of balls and any accessory you would need to go with. We went in to purchase a couple bowling balls and a bag (fun bowlers). Brandi was at the counter greeting us with a friendly smile. She directed us to the balls we were looking for, explained the process of having them fitted and drilled, then turned us over to Mike. He was just as friendly and informative about the measurements he was taking. Mike drilled the balls as we waited. The whole process, from picking out balls, getting fitted and having them drilled was roughly an hour. Time well spent. We had some good laughs, got everything we came in for, and had a fantastic experience. Really looking forward to getting on a lane and taking the new ball for a spin. read more

I went back about a week ago to get a ball. The lady helping was so nice again. I walked in and told her what type of ball I wanted and asked what her suggestions were. She gave me a couple of suggestions and explained the differences in each balls and which ones she suggested and didn't suggest. She was super super nice again and gave me time to thing about which ball I wanted to get. When I did end up getting the ball she got my name and other things and added it to a profile. I am not 100 percent sure but I am pretty sure they have this so if you go back you don't need to get your hand sized again. When the man came out to measure my hand he was also super nice. I had read reviews that he was rude to customers or didn't give them what they wanted so I was a little nervous but he was one of the nicest people. He measured my hand with a bowling ball and holes and went in to the shop to drill it. About 10 minutes later he came out with my drilled ball with finger holes. He told me the best way to care for the ball and I was on my way. Overall a 100/100 experience. read more

Bowl 300 Pro Shops - This is the ball I got. It's a trouble maker and fits my hand perfectly. I got it at this shop and absolutely love it. - Bowling Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Stopped in today to buy a ball for an up coming league. I was behind a could people in line so I knew it would be a wait. But funny thing is Mike Calderon make waiting fun, he makes you feel like a friend. Once my time was up he helped me find a ball an drilled it on the spot and I was on my way. Can't wait to try out this CRUX Prime. Thanks Mike my brother will be in soon. PS - I love the new Pomegranate Cider smell! read more

Bowl 300 Pro Shops - Bowling Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This place is super awesome and the only place you can have a bowling lane *right there* that is part of the facility to try what you are buying and drilling if you think about it. Otherwise, you have to go get a lane at the adjoining bowling alley during some sort of cosmic disco ball situation and listen to TODAYS pop music. No one should be subjected to *today's* pop music. read more

I joined a bowling league to give me something to do on Monday nights that didn't involve me spending oodles of cash because Mondays for some reason made me want to shop. I love to shop for anything! So I was a full blown card carrying leaguer but didn't have my own ball UNTIL TODAY, when I went into Bowl 300 "just to look" and see what my options were. I met the nicest man, Mike Calderon, he is the owner and was very knowledgeable and helpful for me to get my first real ball. We picked one out for me and he took my hand measurements and he drilled the holes to fit me perfectly. I now have a ball all for me--- just for me. :o) Not just a ball, but a bag and shoe covers (I already had shoes, but I will be coming back to Bowl 300 for some cool shoes they have there!). Glad I came into Bowl 300 because the service was so fast and friendly and he made me feel excited and happy to be a bowler. Maybe my average will improve finally!! YEAH BOWLING!!!!!!! *** and the real 5th star: He came by the bowling alley to see how I was doing with the new ball. Seriously, that was so cool. The pro shop is in the same strip as the alley. Talk about serious customer service. read more

Buyer beware, the ball selection is good but beware of the ball fitting process. The shop seems more concerned with giving you what they want rather what you want. So if you are absolutely certain that the ball fitting is correct, do yourself a big favor and get a second opinion. To be 100% fair they did return my money but the customer service experience was terrible. I have never been talked down to like that. I am an experienced bowler, who knows what he wants. The attitude at this shop was not pleasant. It was like it is their way or the highway. read more

Wow the new location is beautiful. They have a state of the art training facility, beautiful classroom, and full service pro shop. The place is Massive! So many bowling balls, it's hard to choose. Mike, Bobby, and Brandi are very nice and knowledgeable about the sport of bowling. read more

Let me tell you---What a joy it was to come in and be welcomed by kind staff and the sound of pins hitting an oiled lane. Mike was a blessing and made my girlfriend and I feel right at home. There was no pressure into buying anything other than what we needed. We got two balls professionally drilled for $100 in under 20 minutes. Affordable; friendly, and definitely the place you should go if you love bowling!!!! 10 stars if possible! I live in flagstaff so it's nice to know there's a bowling shop that goes above and beyond only two hours away!! read more

This place is like a training facility. They also have a wide variety of bowling balls and shoes and other accessories, very nice staff and This is a first Pro shop I've seen have bowling lanes and more than 30 oil patterns. This place is amazing it's self including the atmosphere. read more

I always have a good experience when I'm looking for new bowling supplies and balls here. The staff are super nice and the facility is very clean and well put together. Will be using their lanes when I get a chance as qell! read more

After reading all of the positive reviews, I didn't even bother looking for another shop, and boy oh boy I'm glad I didn't! This shop is conveniently located next to an AMF bowling center. All of the reviews were accurate. Mike is very knowledgeable, very professional, and made learning about bowling fun. (We are novice bowlers). It's a one stop shop (we got everything that we needed here) that accommodates both novice and established bowlers and to top it off I got a free hand massage but Mike called measuring my hands for the holes or whatever. I don't know who that Steve guy is (that caused the one star review) but I thank goodness that "prick" was not there and therefore I had a great experience. East Valley this is it! read more

Great company. Very helpful. They clearly love what they do. I would easily recommend them to anyone looking for a bowling ball & bowling accessories. read more

Went in for a shoe, ball and bag combo and was definitely impressed with the layout of the shop and the knowledge of the staff. Very friendly and did not pressure me to buy anything, just gave me good information to make an informed decision. Will definitely be going back! read more

I drove from flagstaff to get my ball drilled and this is the best pro shop I have ever been to!!!!! He was super nice, friendly, and gave me the time of day to ask questions and get the stuff I needed!!!! I'm definitely going here when I need something!!! I recommend this place 100000000000000000%! read more

Bowl 300 is the only place I will buy a ball and have it drilled Mike knows what he is doing very friendly and knowledgeable.

Coolest place Iv ever bowled at. It's like a mini kegel training center, but in Arizona. I don't know if I could ever go anywhere else. I saw a bad review and I'm beside myself - dude is clearly missing some brain cells (and the pocket) read more

Stopped in to get my first custom ball drilled and met Mike. A few customers were in line ahead of me so everyone hung out with Mike while he drilled and fitted some bowling balls. I've never had a better time waiting in line :-) Mike measured my hand and drilled my ball for a perfect fit right on. You can tell he has great experience doing what he does and has great customer service. I will be a customer for life and look forward to improving my game with his help and some new bowling balls. read more

I was out of bowling for 13 years and when I returned to the game in 2014, I wanted to make an impact and wanted to try things I had not before. I took in one of my older balls and had Mike Calderon fit it with grips and a thumb insert, which I had never used before. Mike was the first driller that actually asked if I use a wrist support, apparently a critical factor in fitting the ball for proper release. When he asked that, I knew I was at the right shop. A week later, after throwing the old ball he fit for me, I was in there for a brand new ball and have been there for a dozen more since with not one disappointment. My game has elevated to a level it has never been at before. When you have someone like MIke who will take the time to analyze your game, fit you properly and continue to help you with questions and advice that doesn't just apply to the bowling balls but all facets of the game, it is hard not to be a loyal customer. Mike possesses an in-depth knowledge of the game over many years of competition, coaching, drilling and representing manufacturers and this helps to give him an unbiased look into your needs without trying to get rich off of you. Trust me...Mike will be paid but you will get value and then some from what you pay for regardless of your skill level. Mike's wife Brandi is also an asset in the shop. She has years of competitive experience at a number of levels and she balances the ambience in the shop very well. (short for keeps Mike in line) A simple description of the environment would be "barber shop bowling pro shop". It is the ONLY place it is a pleasure to wait in line. Be prepared to walk into a scene that is similar to the barber shop scene in "Coming To America" on any day of the week at any time. When you walk through the door, you'll hear the cursing and laughing but more importantly, the entertainment keeps you engaged, interested and wanting to come back. The bowling stories are priceless and I stop in at the shop once a week even if I'm not buying anything. Mike is a pleasure to work with...he knows his customers well, genuinely cares about your success on the lanes and is equally as concerned when you ask for help. His encouragement has definitely helped me enjoy the game more and being in his shop as much as I am, I see him interact with ALL of his customers no differently. MIke will give you constructive criticism and though you may not like it, walk in the door being prepared to get it. I know much of this review is about the shop itself but a bowling ball is a bowling ball and anyone can put holes in a ball BUT if you want it done right, even if you are offended by a loud, sometimes obnoxious, sounds like a gentlemen's club/bar environment, rather than tell you not to go...I'm going to tell you SUCK IT UP AND GET IN THERE! You'll be happy you did. read more

I was looking around for a pro shop and I came across this gem. Once I open the door Mike the owner is very knowledgable and always has a great story to tell and made me feel like part of a family. I haven't bowled for awhile and Mike made an excellent recommendation for an amazing bowling ball and drilled my ball while I waited. If you are looking for excellent customer care and amazing support for the right product, look no further this pro shop is for you! read more

Bowl 300 Pro Shops - The awesome bowling ball that I purchased - Bowling Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

If you are looking for expert advice on buying a bowling ball or getting a ball fitted, Bowl 300 is the only place to go. Mike Calderon is a veritable Wikipedia on everything you would want to know about bowling. He not only is knowledgeable about the best ball to recommend, but he is a master at drilling and fitting your ball. It had been more than 20 years since I last bowled and when I went to Bowl 300, Mike made the transition to the modern bowling equipment incredibly simple To top everything off, Mike is incredibly customer focused and friendly. You simply won't find a better place to buy your bowling equipment than Bowl 300. read more

Had my spare ball drilled based off of my first ball. Love the fitment. Cost was competitive to others, but for the quality this place was perfect for me. Also am in the process of having an old balled filled and redrilled. Looked at the balls he had in stock and seemed like the cost seemed lower than comparable balls at other places. read more

Bowl 300 Pro Shops - Spare ball - Bowling Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Went in for the first, the new location. I was blown away by how it is so up to date. Selection is great and I can see it only getting better. I needed a new ball. I like HAMMER. The selection was great. He still had my finger set up from the other location. If your new to bowling. Keep an open mind. If you have been bowling for 40 years. Keep an open mind. We all don't know it all and these guys can help. Don't need a ball or shoes every month but what ever I need for bowling. As a more famous person once said. "I'll be back" David read more

Terrible service had to come back multiple times to get my ball drilled and redrilled. First was drilled ok then came back multiple times due to his odd store hours and workings a few days a week. Second time coming back to shop to find guy "working" could not help me and came back 3rd time. No refund just a "sorry". Never will return or have any friends go there. read more

My husband and I stopped into this shop to get new balls. Brandy helped us and was amazing at her knowledge. After helping us pick the best ball for us, Mike took over. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He measured our hands, the angle of the grip to get the best fit. Our new balls feel great and we can't wait to try them. We would highly recommend them. read more

Where to start. So many very important points to pass on. First some background. I was a very good bowler about 20 years ago (bowled some pro events in my college days) but kids came along and I more or less stopped bowling to focus on the family more. I am just now starting to show some interest in the sport again now that the kids are bit older. My son and I came down from Alaska to catch some spring training baseball action. Before we left for this trip, I researched Bowling Pro Shops in the Phoenix area as I wanted to pick up a new ball or two for the upcoming nationals tournament in Reno. I was looking for someone who really knew their stuff. I had read about the shop owner of Bowl 300 Pro Shop and everyone who commented on his services was very pleased. Mike is, by far, the best pro shop operator I have had the pleasure of working with.. If you have a desire to be a better bowler, and work with Mike, you will see results, and possibly very quickly. Some highlights of my experience: * Mike is very giving of his time. Superb customer service. Probably the best customer service experience I have had for a while, bowling or otherwise. Mike clearly has a passion for what he does. He enjoys helping others get more out of their game and is generous with his time to work with you on making you a more skilled player if that is what you desire. * Mike is up to speed on the technology of modern bowling balls. Advancements in technology have radically changed bowling balls over the past several years. There are many, many variables which of course means that things can get complex.. Mike does a good job of matching up your game to the new equipment. If you just want a ball that fits and don't care about the tech side, no problem. But if you want to discuss surfaces, weight blocks, Pin Positions, how a ball reads the mid lane, etc. then no problem. * Mike will not try and upsell you. He is honest. If he thinks the best ball for you is one that costs $60, he will suggest that one, and not one that cost $160. * The best value in a bowling ball, in my opinion, is one that fits you properly. No problems here. He will probably get the drilling right the first time, but if adjustments are needed he would make them until the ball is right for your unique hand and bowling style. * Innovation. You can actually several balls before making a buying decision. I am not aware of any other pro shop that has this sort of service. No extra fees for this. Unreal. I tried several balls to see which one fit me best for my style. This is a huge advantage relative to other shops that don''t let you try a ball before the purchase. You don't want to spend $200 plus dollars on a ball, get it drilled without throwing it first and discover it doesn't do what you thought it would. Again, this is true innovation and all respectable shops should offer the same opportunity to demo equipment before purchase. * Mike has some great stories. Funny guy. Good communicator. Great storyteller. You won't be bored while in the shop. Only improvement I could see would be a black lab or bulldog hanging out in the stop. Just seems like that would make the place complete. If I could give ten stars I would. Phoenix is lucky to have this shop around. Again, if you desire to be a better player, you will get there much quicker going to Bowl 300 Pro Shop. Superb. read more

I had a wonderful experience here, I must say. I understand that some others might have been put off by how long the whole process took (including waiting for others ahead of me), but it was more than worth it. I've bought a few balls in the past, but no shop spent nearly the time and care on the process as Mike did. He was more insistent on getting things perfect than I was, where other shops often act like they're just trying to push you out the door once they make the sale. It's nice to have the expert insist on doing better, instead of acting like it's your fault if their drilling isn't comfortable (an experience I've have at multiple pro shops). Definitely the best shop in the area, no question in my mind. Only complaint I might add was the selection on-hand seems a bit narrow in some categories. However, the owner is more than happy to order in anything you want, including brands and models that he does not personally carry. read more

Brandi at the counter was AMAZING with her knowledge of what we needed to get started! No pressure and no OVER SELLING of the more expensive products! Mike was INCREDIBLE with his ability to provide us with a PERFECT FIT. Both of these fine people created a WONDERFUL and PERSONALIZED experience. We appreciate their help and highly recommend them for all of your bowling needs! read more

Mike, the proprietor at the Tempe location, is an amazing asset to the Valley bowling community. I knew I found the right Pro Shop when I had to wait in line. I had to wait in line at a bowling Pro Shop. Wut!?! After re-drilling an old ball, we talked about what worked, what didn't, and eventually worked up to a new ball. No pressure, no BS. He's honest and friendly and will set your game straight. read more

Most people only go on yelp to write bad reviews and obviously no yelp users could even think about giving Bowl300 nothing but 5 stars!!! I am new to the game and have been playing consistently for the last 5 months. Getting a ball was one the best decisions I have ever made, but going to Bowling 300 was the best decision. Mike can have a 45 second conversation with you and recommend the perfect ball! Just don't ya dare try and get a ball that is above your skill level, because it aint happening here! That's what is so great about this pro shop, it's about the game and not about someone trying to make a quick buck off you. Pricing online is so much better than most local pro shops, but not at Bowl300 pro shop! This is your one stop shop for the best pricing on the newest equipment. If you're trying to haggle, this is not your place because Mike knows whats online or around and his pricing is set to sell! I purchased the Gamebreaker 2 and it was $20 lower than any local shop or pricing I saw online. I have purchased two balls and they are drilled to perfection! My average just keeps going up every week, can't wait to bowl my first 300! Thanks Mike! read more

Mike is 100% the best.... if you have a problem with this shop you don't know quality or that with a little extra time comes perfection. You can not beat this shop. There is a reason mike tours with the pros and goes to all the big events (across the globe). Guy below complaining.... continue to use a house ball and bumpers no need to waste Mike's time. read more

OK Mike I will give 5 Stars for your Knowledge and your good Work + I have to give U 10for your Big Mouth Thank U for your good Job you always dooooo Dtr read more

Mike at bowl300 is the real deal.... That's why the pros turn to him during major tournaments for equipment advice and adjustments. If he isn't in the shop, it's because he's helping all your favorite pro bowlers win championships. Mike knows the game inside and out and can get you in the right equipment with the right setup. Beginner or seasoned player, don't go anywhere else in the valley for your gear. read more

I came here about a month ago with the intention of getting a new ball to match me game. I was recommended the storm matchup hybrid, which when drilled I had a thought that the motion was too straight and would change after breaking it in. The motion of the ball has changed slightly but has made it roll straighter with no hook at all. He has about a 2 week period for refunds and complete redrillings but in my case took me more than that to realize that his recommendation was the complete wrong pairing for my high speed low rev style. Prices for services are a little on the high side compared to other shops in the area, and other shops have more knowledge than provided here. Customer interaction was great though. But I will not be buying from here in the future unless it's a minor purchase such as thumb tape or ball cleaner. read more
