Princeton, IL 1/9/16

I am so grateful that I found your proshop. I appreciate you making time to drill my balls perfectly to suit my game. Before going strictly to you I had never carried a 200+ average. Now I can say that I do because of your great work. Every time someone asks me where to get a ball drilled I tell them Tim Pallai. Thank you for taking the time to make my balls right for the lanes I bowl on. I love the drill that you put on my Black Widow Limited. Feels amazing coming off my hand. My average is up 5 pins since I got this ball. Thanks for the work that you have done to my equipment.

Peoria Journal Star

Larry Doran, 23, Chillicothe, Bowled his first 800 series and second 300, first of which was bowled on January 15, 2003, with games of 252, 300, 251.  Bowling off a near 200 average with a Hammer No Mercy bought from The Strike Zone Pro Shop at Landmark Lanes.  Mr. Doran says he gives all the credit to Tim Pallai.  "You can be a good bowler but you don't stand a chance without the right equipment. That's why I won't buy from anyone but Tim at the Strike Zone.  He's the best around."

Tim, I just wanted to say thank you for spending the extra time and effort in helping me with my thumb hole Saturday evening during the state tournament. I struggled through the first game but overall, I averaged 206 for the weekend, which is a bit above average for me. 
Thank you again.

Hi Tim, I am writing for a couple of reasons. First of all about 6 years ago when I was 18 I bought the Ebonite Predator bowling ball from you and I love it so much that I am yet to buy another ball. Three months after I bought that ball I bowled a 300 and kept bowling. I then went to college and quit bowling for about 2 or 3 years. I just bowled my first league again since High school this past summer and averaged 211 and bowled my first 800 (802) series still with the Predator. I swore I'd never buy another ball from anyone after the way you treated me, it was extremely professional and the drilling was the best I had ever had. Now, I teach and have more time to bowl in a league at night and am wanting to buy a new bowling ball.  Thank you so much for your time!

See you soon and Thanks again!

Tim, Thanks for the great ball setup on my Black Widow. I currently have a 181 avg. and bowled a 580 series the first time I used the new ball that Wed. night(2/13/08).Each game I felt more confident on throwing the ball and hitting the strike zone. I can't wait to get my other ball redone by you.  Thanks,

Eric Zueck
Eric Zueck rolled his 16th career 300 at Safari Bowl during the Tazma League, and a week later came back with games of 269, 279 and 257 for an 805 series, high eighth overall.

“I would like to give credit to Tim Pallai at the Strike Zone Pro Shop for drilling all of my equipment,” Zueck said. 

 

Tom Arnolts
Hey Tim, I have started out the year on quite a roll. After just 4 weeks I am avg 243 and rolled another 300. Don't know were my bowling would be without the Strike Zone Pro Shop! Thanks for the years of work!

Tim, I just wanted to THANK YOU for drilling my ball they way it should be. I told you I have never bowled a 700 series and carried a 200 ave. Well, in the past couples of weeks I have rolled 2 700 series (700,716) and currently have a 200 plus average on 2 leagues. Also my average on all the other leagues are coming up quick. I never thought a balled drilled correctly could make so much differents. THANK YOU again to you and your staff at Strike Zone.

I was out of bowling for 9 years and was asked to join a league with a friend, I didn't have any equipment so I went to Tim for help. I was very impressed how he was able to help a person he didn't know. This is my second year and I'm carrying a 200 plus average for both years. Bowling is fun again and I appreciate all the help Tim has given me. I will be back and I've been telling my friends as well. Thank you Tim and The Strike Zone Staff.

Tim, I wanted to let you know that the Lucid you drilled for me read the lanes and reacted as good as I had envisioned. The trick you told me about if my thumb stuck worked great and for the first time bowling at Landmark I got my 'swag' back in my game. Even bowling with a wrist injury, and dealing with splits early because of it, I managed to go 203-221-267. Ten pins proved very difficult with my injury but that'll get better. I will most certainly seek you out for my next bowling ball purchase.  Thank you,

Tom Norman

Tim, You must be a prophet.  Last night, I went 256-300-259 for an 815.  All with the Ringer that you drilled up.  The layout's just awesome. Thanks again.
