Gary James Bowling Supplies 15615 Glen Chase Drive Located inside Copperfield Bowl, Houston, TX 77095

"I got to say super friendly, experience and passionate staff, that always tries to help improve your game. Great customer service!"

"Best bowling pro shop I’ve been to hands down. They have a massive inventory so you’re almost guaranteed to have whatever you want you in stock in multiple weights. They take the time to listen to you about what you want. If you’re newer to the game, they take time to explain all the numbers and ball shapes so you can feel comfortable making a decision. Me and several of the people I bowl with have purchased a ball or 2 from here and we plan to only go back there for any other needs."

"If you are even contemplating investing in your own bowling equipment, do yourself a favor and go to Gary James. I and my wife had planned on checking out a couple places to price equipment and ask questions. This was the first stop. After talking to Mike for 5 minutes, my wife and I both knew this was where we were going to make a purchase. Mike explained everything and did not try to steer us to things we did not need. We bought what we wanted to buy at the price I wanted to pay. After the balls were drilled, Mike offered to tell them to let us test them out. We decided to bowl for an hour. Mike came and found us to see how we liked the balls. We both requested some minor adjustments. I was very impressed and could not ask for any better service. Thanks Mike and Gary!"

"Very friendly staff and great experience. I have to drive 40 minutes since only here I get perfect fit for my fingers. If the place has empty lanes, he will get a lane for you to test, give recommendation and make adjustments on your drilling. Highly recommended!!"

"There’s a lot more to getting the right bowling ball these days than just picking a weight and color. I was very comfortable with my old trusty 16# urethane ball. I normally bowl 130-140 games consistently. But over the years I got more and more tired of trying to get that ball to hook on oil. I decided it was time to finally upgrade my ball. I walked into the pro shop and was greeted by Gary James. I admitted I didn’t really know where to start, and his selection was amazing. I needed help navigating all the latest stats to get matched up to the right ball. After watching me throw a few frames with my old urethane ball, he took me back to the shop and handed me another ball. I threw 3 strikes right off the cuff. I stood there, holding this ball (that wasn’t mine) with my mouth wide open. The back-end action was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. Back in his shop, I scanned the wall at all the various balls for sale. Gary showed me the ones that closely matched the one he gave me to try. I picked out a new Storm Match Up pearl, and that’s when things really got interesting. I had no idea there was so much more involved than just getting the ball holes to fit my hand. He measured tracks on my old urethane ball, and using my hand, he took countless measurements. He explained all the dimensions, the pin, the weight block, and how the tracks on my old ball helped determine where to drill. He knew what it took to make everything come together, and he explained it as he went along. I had a lot of questions (this being my first reactive ball) and he was very patient. He had the new ball ready to go within an hour! I immediately walked over to lane 19 and threw a 210 game (see attached)! This ball was tailored perfectly. I cannot say enough about the excellent level of service I received. I can’t wait to go back and have my wife pick something out. -Wayne Larry Nierth"
