I haven't bowled in over five years. Went into the shop to purchase 2 new balls and some gear. They made sure the fit was perfect, they covered every detail. I was amazed and how detailed they were. The end result was more than I could of asked for. Thanks fellas. My go to spot from now on.

I live in Lake Charles, LA and on August 27, 2020 our one and only bowling alley was destroyed in Hurricane Laura. After almost a year and half and millions of dollars, it finally reopened in early November 2021. The pro shop has not reopened, so there isn't a place in Lake Charles to buy and have a ball drilled. My old ball badly needed to be replaced so I started my search in Beaumont, TX. After reading the reviews of places in and around Beaumont, I wasn't impressed so I started looking at places in Houston. Once I came across Gary James Bowling Supplies and saw he had a five star rating, I started reading review after review. I called Gary on a Saturday and talked to him and to let him know I would be making the 2 1/2 drive on the following Tuesday to buy a new ball. I left early so I would be the first customer that day when he opened. I asked him to give me some pointers on the things I was doing wrong and he replied that he wasn't a coach. He watched me bowl a game and did give me some pointers, changed up my approach, told me how to hold the ball and a couple of other things. After my game, we went into his shop and he measured me for the ball. He took every conceivable measurement and then some. After drilling the ball, he had me throw some soft throws in the shop to see how the ball felt and released from my fingers. He made a few small adjustment and sent me on my way. Here are my scores with my new techniques and ball. First three games not good because I was doing things new to me in trying to break my bad habits. I bowled 89, 115, and 116, about what I was bowling before I went to Gary but much worse than before the hurricane hit. The next time I went bowling, bowled four games, 155, 124, 164, and 132. Although I still don't feel natural with the new approach and techniques, but the more I bowl, the better I will feel about Gary's tips. Thanks Gary for taking care of my bowling needs and the tips you gave me. Although going to you was a seven hour day for me, it was worth every minute.

I’ve been going to Gary for over a decade and refuse to have anyone else drill my bowling balls. He’s the best and usually has very fast turnaround.
