    Bowling ball from Gip's Pro Shop.

    Wasn't planning on buying a bowling ball a few weeks ago but so happy to have stopped by Gip's Pro Shop. Was fitted with finger holes that fit, sized me up to a much heavier ball that I didn't think I could throw. He definitely knows his business and even provided some great pointers. Great job!

    Gip refilled my ball and colored match as best as possible. Other shop drilled too big.

    So a women walks into a pro shop and asks... why is my thumb nail ripping off? And boy did Gip know why. If you're having trouble with your grip... ball... technique just go see Gip he's absolutely amazing and knowledgeable. Last Xmas I recieved a new ball in AZ from my brother... my first ball EVER. He takes me and my family to get fitted and have the ball drilled. Took the guy maybe 5 minutes to size my hand and right away I knew it was wrong...I told him I couldnt grip the ball... and my wrist hurt. He dismissed me and told me it was just me not knowing howbto handle the ball and that was it. Fast forward to this last Saturday...at Chapparel 300 in chino hills... ive been playing with this ball... adjusting my grip, cadence everything to use it... but no matter what I did... my hand hurt. And for the I don't know how many time... my thumb nail ripped off again while bowling. Finally after complaining to my husband again... he decided to go to the pro shop and see if someone could help me. That's when we met GIP!!! He is soooooo amazing! My husband told him about my problem and I showed him my hand and thumb. Right away he told me what was wrong with my ball. He measured everything ... checked all the angles and found out that the ball was not even drilled to match my hand. He explained grip to me... what it should fill like... and realized why I was ripping off my thumbnail. He let me know he could refill the ball and redrill it by the following Wednesday. So Wednesday comes around ( yesterday) and we go to pick up my ball and get it redrilled to my hand... ill tell you that this was definitely not a 5 minute process. Gip was soooo meticulous in the way he shaped the ball to my hand and fingers. He explained everything and showed me what he was doing. Then as he was fitting me he realized a very bad habit I had developed and immediately became concerned for me. Because my ball was so poorly drilled before and I couldn't grip my ball I had developed a bad habit of gripping and holding the ball with my thumb... hence the ripping of my thumbnail. Gip identified the problem right away. Any other person could have taken my money and sent me on my way. But not Gip! He spent a good 30 minutes with me teaching me technique and having me practice my release to ensure I wasn't hurting myself. Right there in his shop. This man has sooo much knowledge and is an amazing teacher as well. I can't say enough good things about him. I'll definitely be going back to him and will be taking my brother to see HIM from now on. I might even look into lessons with Gip too. Just an incredibly great person!!! Gip was a professional bowler too so he KNOWS. If you have any questions bowling related just go see Gip!!!!!

Their website isn't easy to navigate to see things they actually have in store that are CA compliant. To be fair, that's consistent with other gun store websites. So I walked in to ask if they had something I was looking for and I didn't see the "take a number" ticket station. It wasn't super obvious to someone who has never been there before and every person at the cover ignored me for like 10-15 minutes. I just stood there staring at them while they helped other people right next to me and ignored me. No one asked if I had a number, etc. A part of me worried that it was because I'm trans fem, but honestly I think it was just bad customer service. After idling there for ages I finally noticed the little "take a number" stand and took a ticket. Fast forward to wasting 30 minutes of my life busy for them to tell me they didn't have what I was looking for and weren't sure when they might get it

I already knew what I was looking for which was a Justin Turner autographed MLB ball. She went back into the small warehouse where she came back with not one but three great signed balls to choose from. Even better they were all '17 World Series balls, WOW talk about selection. I ended up choosing one which looked much better than others I had seen at other Memorabilia stores. I really can't understand the bad reviews this store has received. Alejandra was very patient with me in my selection process. Perhaps the less then favorable reviews were from people having a bad day. I'm a firm believer in supporting my local businesses rather than purchase online. It's great for the local economy and keeps neighboring people employed. The parking is terrific being just seconds from the store. There are a few other things which I'm interested in so I'll make it a point to return here when I have more time. In closing I can honestly say I got a great deal on the Turner COA ball I ended up getting today. Great quality & price, you get what you pay for here. So be certain to check out this hidden gem for your sports memorabilia. Thanks again for the FIVE STAR service! Joe H

I told the lady at the register and she looked at me like I did it. She then proceeded to open the box and sure enough, the strings were damaged. I told her I purchased the tent a week ago and I was able to find some time to set it up when I noticed it was damaged. She then rudely told me that their equipment should be new and it's not possible for it to be damaged. I argued with her and told her that I thought it was brand new but i guess it wasn't. It was in it's original packaging.. Finally, she accepted it as an exchange and told me to grab another one. She said if it happens again, I'm going to have to take it up with the manufacturer... Really?? It's not my fault it was broken.. I then grabbed a "new" one and she asked if I'd like to check it before checking out. I said okay, I checked over the sticks and it looks fine. I told her what about the tent, what if there is a hole. She told me I can open it up in the store but there was no room to do that.. so I told her that I'll just set it up today at home and if it's not good I'll bring it back. She then proceeded to do the exchange then told me it was going to be $17.99.. wait.. I'm exchanging.. why do I need to pay. She said initially it was purchased with a coupon.. I said okay... So use the same coupon.. she then said she didn't have a coupon, so she made me look for the same coupon.. I found one on their website and luckily it worked and covered the $17.99.. I got out of there and was pretty upset. What was supposed to be an easy exchange turned into an argument and her accusing me of damaging their product... Not coming back to this store..

With the coupon the pants came to $24.99, not the best but not bad! Didn't see any boots for my 2 year old baby though unfortunately. I certainly do think they could have greeted me when I walked in, manager looked right past me. Also 2 cashiers were working and no one was paying attention as I waited in line. Had to just walk up myself. Not greeted at all he just began scanning. The coworkers were talking amongst themselves about the schedule or what they're going to do this weekend or something? Glad I found what I needed though so my girl won't freeze when we go to the snow.

I assumed he could see and apply the gift card through my account. However, he never applied the $30 gift card and instead processed the transaction so that I only received a refund of $0.08 from the jacket return. When I questioned this and told him I wanted the gift card applied to the shoes, he said the transaction had already been processed then he suggested that I use the gift card next week when REI has a sale. This solution is unacceptable. I live about 20 miles from the store and do not want to make another special trip because of a cashier's mistake. I would appreciate REI's assistance in resolving this issue and honoring the $30 gift card toward the purchase I made today. The employees on the floor were fine, 90% of them friendly.
