hi ppl,
been watching this thread
Been around bowling for a very short time, about 6 years... After going through some bad experiences with ball drillers and pro shops, I now have found ball driller, I live in sydney
I was put on to this person, by another bowler. Who been around the traps probably longer than he would like to remember and has the experience and know how... So I rang up this ball Driller who was bowling the same tournment as i was a week or so later, told this person what my problems and what i wanted done. This person was great, Took the time after the tournment, to listen what i wanted, gave me some great advice, was there for about 90 mins just going through all the options, and which he thought was best...... He took 3 balls from me that day fixed them up and i went to the act and picked them up, wasn't just pick up and pay , it was another 45 mins just making sure the balls fitted right plus, and sort some other issues i had with my game and was more than happy to answer questions i had......not to mention the emails, text msgs and phone calls inbetween...... Yes i drove all the way to the act.........His probably frogetton more than i know about the game, He fixed up the rest of my gear plus a mate brought a couple of balls , and some other stuff..... He was over the moon with the service and his balls were drilled all the same fit ......Great service and product finish.... I go to bowl and all the balls are the same.... I didn't have to go back and get shooty workman ship fixed up..........I know where i will be going wen i need new gear, or advice straight back there, ok maybe different location but same person.. I havent had the need since to get new or fix gear since they done it but wen i have the need i shall be going straight back there paying more , but u get what you pay for
I am about to get my lic to be a sparky, over my apprenticeship, I have worked with tradesman that have far different, Rates they charge , for example one, chargers 120 an hour , nice workman ship, never gets call back ,and can does extra on top of the Quote, with 20 years experience.... OR you can go the sparky that charges far less at 55 an hour, doesn't give about the workman ship and gets call backs all the top and than charges the ppl for the call back and provides no advice or better options for you..
Value for money is the key... Yeah i am tight with money, more than most,I do try to get a better price and ball driller will do their best price for me and leave himself with some cream on top , but i would rather good service and experience with the knowledge and know how. You can't beat experience and knowledge.
Technology has changed alot of things, Ppl need to adjust, and that the retail sector has been hit hard no doubt about it , their need to come up with solutions and quality products, they had it so good for so long, but the net as made it open ball park....... but it's like going from horse and cart to cars or petrol to what eva happens to next in line when fuel is to expensive or not around.... Like wen computers and printers came into effect..... paperless world wasn't it suppose to be
Nothing stays the same, different sectors are effected and the way ppl make money will be different, many sectors have been affected by technology over ppl's lively hoods and many more to come that we don't even see...Ppl jobs gone by technology I am waiting for the wireless electrical world!!
Surely there much better subjects to talk about, Reading this forum,is like a first year apprentice telling the tradesman what to do, different levels of experience and knowledge,
