The Bowling Zone Pro Shop

Bought a ball elsewhere and they drilled the holes way too small. I was bruising my fingers constantly. The other shop was only open whenever the owner felt like it despite his store hours being posted outside. He was never there and I could never get it fixed.
I ended up here because they were open and my boyfriend and friend needed to get their bowling gear. Buddy was very helpful. He gave me more bowling tips than I could ever think to ask. He was very accommodating and gave us a lot of good suggestions. He really knows his stuff. My boyfriend ordered all of his gear here. My friend bought it online because it was cheaper (only by $ 10 and she had a headache with the shipping company). Buddy drilled her ball for her for cheap and really fast service.
My ball was redone but I have weird fingers so I was still bruising. Took out back in a month or so later and he fixed it in less than five minutes. No hassle.
I’ll be purchasing my next upgrade here. Thank you Buddy!

Loved it loved the environment coustomer service was great and the food came super quick, plus it was delish! Don’t do bowling to often but came here and might be my favorite new spot. Need to tell my friends about this new place I found! Love it and will define try keep comming !

There are few bowling establishments in Silicon Valley, and for the serious bowler, a custom fitted ball is a must! Homestead Lane ‘a pro shop is a great place to get a ball and get a few lessons. With a house ball, I would have a hard time, bowling 125, with a custom fitted ball, my average is 180+.

I love this pro shop!
I joined my first bowling league recently and decided that if I’m going to be investing this much time and money into the league every single week I should probably get my own ball. I went to this pro shop to get my first bowling ball and it was rather intimidating at first and daunting, considering I’m the youngest bowler on my league in Santa Clara (at 23) and everyone else is in their early 30’s usually or older. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Steve who drilled the ball for me. At first I could not even release the ball, since I’ve been bowling with house ball all my life. Three months later my bowling average has gone up from a 120 to a 180, and I am one of the stronger bowlers on my team. Since then, I have gone back to the shop several times to choose a spare ball, get my first bowling ball bag and a new pair of shoe soles. I’ve had my thumb hole sanded open and bowling tape placed into my strike ball, and the thumb hole of my spare ball opened slightly — all of this re-​working at no cost to me. I plan on going back sometime later this week to get a new strike ball, with a higher hook rating and heavier weight and switching to a finger-​tip grip.
But everytime I’ve been to the pro shop, they listened to what I needed, helped me pick out equipment. I’ve been explained what each of the different bowling balls do and how to pick out what I need based on my game. If you have any questions about your game, and what will suit you, the people here really know what they’re doing. I highly recommend this pro shop.

Steve is a great guy who helped me upgrade to a «finger-​tip» ball. He was very patient and let me bowl with various balls in the store, teaching me the differences in weight position, finger release, varying curves, etc. What a resource!
He took the time to drill and trim the finger holes on my new ball until it fit perfectly while I waited. Then he let me bowl and watched me try out the ball, giving me pointers on improving my delivery. Not only that, but his pricing includes the drilling/​fitting which made his prices as good as online.
I can recommend his shop as one of the best in the bay area for his service.

This is a great place to get your ball worked on. He really takes the time to make sure you are happy with his work, and that you get a good ball fit. Prices for service are very good, and Steve the owner is very friendly, and a great guy to talk to. He is very knowledgable, about the products he sells as well as the lane conditions at any of the bowling alleys in the area. The pro shop is not very glamorous and he does not have a lot of stuff on display but he can pretty much order you anything. His prices for balls include drilling and tax so it is very competitive to online prices. He’ll also give you bowling tips if you ask. He will even let you bowl some games to try out your new equipment if lanes are available.

Lots of hardcore bowlers here. The screens have pictures of American flags, eagles, and the slogan «united we stand.» When we first walked in there were so many white people that we were kind of out of place, but it soon cleared out and bunches of Asian people came — kind of odd!
Otherwise it is your usual bowling alley with blinding bright lights.
