One of the most important keys to a solid game is a great, comfortable grip. At Get a Grip Pro Shop we take pride in our work, and will do everything we can to make sure your bowling ball feels just right. Whether you need to drill a ball purchased from the internet, plug and redrill a ball, or have it resurfaced, we're here to help.
We have two drill presses along with two resurfacing machines to ensure prompt service. If you're looking for ball drilling or fitting in Northern Illinois or Southern Wisconsin, there's only one answer: Russ Freeman's Get a Grip Pro Shop.
Besides our bowling services, Russ is also a very experienced bowling coach. He is a silver certified coach with the USBC and has been coaching bowlers of all skill levels for over 20 years. He is presently working towards Gold Certification with the USBC. He also uses Ebonite's spectacular Bowler's MAP video analysis system to make your lesson the best it can be. If you haven't had a lesson with Russ and Bowler's MAP, you haven't had a lesson! Russ is presently accepting students of all ages and abilities. Contact us for rates and to set up a lesson!
We will also be running some clinics in the near future. Be sure to check our blog for the latest updates!
