I'm so happy I came here for my new ball (and my wife's first) - Carl and Rusty are two stand-up guys and really strive to make sure you are getting the best service.
A little backstory: I got my first ball about 18 years ago from a great pro shop in Ventura (where I grew up) but that place has been closed down for many years now. My ball was perfectly drilled and I averaged in the upper hundreds, then a few years later I moved to LA ... that ball got stolen from my car literally within 72 hours of moving here (I blame it on Hollywood). It took a while for me to save up and get a new ball, but I did and the pro-shop where I got that one drilled did not really care much to give me the perfect fit.
Flash foward to this year - I'm finally to the point where I'm fed up with my current ball, so I took it to Carl and Rusty. They concurred that the thumb hole was too big, the fingers were too far from the thumb, and it wasn't even the right type of ball for the heavy oil lanes where i frequent. Taking that into consideration, I just decided I wanted to get a new ball and since my wife has been bowling with me every week, we decided to get her her first ball as well.
They took great care of us and even fine tuned our balls during our first game using them.
I highly suggest taking your current ball or getting new gear from Rusty and Carl at Pro Zone.
