Buddies Pro Shop, Inc. 802 Villa Avenue, Fairfield, CT 06825

"Buddies is easily the best pro shop I've ever been to. I made an appointment and drove down to meet with Chris. He was very polite and professional. He did everything from measuring my PAP while watching me throw a game, to measuring all of my specs and going over my arsenal with layout suggestions. I live over an hour away with a busy work schedule, so I love the fact that they make it so easy to get a ball drilled and shipped to you with your specs on your profile. No other pro shop I've been to does that. I had the Black Widow 3.0 drilled with another turbo switch thumb and it's a perfect fit. Highly recommend Buddies."

"I have not bowled since 2000 and my ball is from 1997 and recently found interest again since my son started a league. I was looking online for a ball since my hands are not the same size anymore. Buddies Pro shop popped up quite a few times on the internet. I originally thought this place was some warehouse that sold and drilled balls,boy was I wrong. I checked out their website and realized they were a pro shop in a bowling alley in Bridgeport Connecticut so I made an appointment and took an hour ride to the shop for a ball. Chris immediately checked out my old ball and began to size my hand to the new ball. Less than one hour later the ball was finished and fit like a glove. I knew I went to the right person when I saw how many balls were being worked on. The more you do something constantly and in large numbers the more perfect your work becomes. I’m throwing the new ball that’s 15lb with as much ease as my old 12lb ball in the pic thanks to Chris making adjustments to my dimensions. Thank you Chris for the great job you did on my ball and having it in my hands in a timely manner. I hope to do business with you again."

"I sent them my specs. We had a conversation and I got my NU hammer. They really did a fantastic job I am very impressed."

"Chris is top notch. Came in to have two balls drilled and the thumb fixed on another. Can easily say I’ll never go to another pro shop again. Thank you again!"

"Ordered two bowling bags and two shoe add ons. The box arrived completely thrashed. Buddies blamed it on the mail carrier. I can concur with that to an extent, but when you ship using very inexpensive and poorly made boxes as well as fail to put any added stuffing to help support the box internally, it is pretty doomed from the start. Buddies was quick to respond at first but ultimately their customer service failed. I would not order from here again. You’ve got to protect the shipped merchandise. You can see from the pictures, it is the seem of the box that totally gave out. Wrap up the merchandise! Protect it so the customer doesn’t have to worry about the overall integrity of the item received."
