Bay Area Pro Shop San mateo — Local services in San Mateo

I had an amazing ball purchase experience with Raymond. I am a pretty good straight bowler (avg 130 with a top score of 160) and looking to get my first bowling ball.

I can now do a relaxed full backswing and still have the ball release off my thumb and fingers like butter. I have been to other pro shops and I can tell you the consultation/service here is lightyears ahead.
