Well, We finally got Jordans new ball ordered today (Storm Fast #13). Just wanted give a quick review of the Pro Shop at Park lanes in Newark Ohio.

At first when I seen the shop it seemed small but after meeting the pro I knew he knew what he was talking about. I explained that we were looking to upgrade Jordans ball and weight, he asked Jordan to get on a lane and throw some shots with a #13 pound alley ball. He checked his speed rotation and several other things and said he didnt see any problem with Jordan going heavier then his current ball (#10) and he would suggest the Storm fast due to long carry and great back end said it would fit Jordans style perfectly.

He couldnt believe Jordan has only been bowling a little over a year. Said his approach and follow through was really something to watch ( Insert my head swelling with pride here).

Any way he carefully measured and remeasured Jordans span and fit and did comment that the last Pro Shop did a good job with fit except where they made the thumb hole to large. As we were talking to him noticed some newspaper articles with him in them and even pictures where he bowled with Mark Roth on tour thought that was super cool as Mark Roth was one of my favorite bowlers.

He is also a pro at Palace lanes in Columbus Ohio, so if any of you guys are looking for a pro that seems to know what he is doing and are in the area I definitely have no problem recommending him. Oh yeah his name is Tim Rogers.


When we were finished I was very happy with the price as well $149.00 drilled finger tips and grips.

Oh he also asked us to consider getting Jordan in a travel league with what he seen of him he thought he would do very well and the competition would really help prepare him for growing with the sport.

Glad to hear it was a good experience at the Pro Shop. I hope the fit is great and the ball works out for Jordan.

Yeah, he is excited will be done Wed. so I know where I will be after work lol. I ordered me one as well but with my hand still out of whack didn't get fit yet.

I know how you feel, you seem to have more ants in your pants then me though, I wanted to buy about 20 balls since I have been out. I'm glad you didn't get it fit for your cast Get well soon, and post some vids of Jordan with his new ball.

Will do coach Jim. He already talked me into getting off work early Wed. if possible, so should be getting some video then and I will post it up.

He was supposed to work with his coach Tuesday but they changed it until Thursday so that worked out well.
