  • Not at all. And honestly? The earlier we see you, the better. We work with beginners every day. You don’t need to know anything before you walk in, except maybe what color ball you want. We’ll guide you through the process, explain how everything works, and make sure you leave with something that fits and makes sense for your game.

  • During a standard appointment, our experts will:

    • Take detailed measurements of your hands and fingers.

    • Assist you in selecting the ideal bowling ball.

    • Perform professional drilling.

    • Spend time with you on the lanes (prepare to bowl!) 

    We explain each step as we go, and often spend time with you before and after your ball is completed so that we make sure everything feels right. It’s a one-on-one process focused on getting the fit right the first time.

  • Everything is included in the cost of your ball! There are no separate fitting or drilling fees. What you’re quoted is the total price—no add-ons, no surprises. The way it should be.

  • We’re located inside Secoma Lanes in Federal Way, WA, and serve bowlers from across the South Sound and greater Seattle area. Many of our customers travel from Tacoma, Seattle, and surrounding cities because they want a proper fit and a more thoughtful process.
