Question
In the area I am in, there are few options as to having your ball drilled. I am interested in learning how/starting a small bussiness of drilling and resurfacing balls. I would like to know where to start looking for training, equipment to start with, etc.  

Answer
Most distributors offer training and capital equipment for pro shops.  I know Classic Products in Ft Wayne, Ace Mitchell in Akron, and Bowling supply in Nashville are the three I am most familar with.
You may also contact IBPSIA(International Bowling Pro Shops and Instructor Association)
Ebonite in Hopkinsville may also offer some programs as well.

Good luck,
Chip
