Pro Shop Tips

This page is dedicated to helping you, the Pro Shop operator, keep up with the latest technology and terminology in the Pro Shop business. Jayhawk's staff has years of experience in the bowling pro shop industry, and has drawn upon that experience, along with a vast resource database to put together some tips to help Pro Shop operators of all experience levels help their customers any way they can.

While we've tried to put as much info as possible into this section, there is far too much to know for us to get to everything. If there is something not on this page that you would like to see, please let us know, and we will answer your question quickly, and we will try to add that to this page for others.

The plugging tips section includes instructions on pouring DBA, Ultima, and Wizard plug perfectly every time, along with answers to commonly asked questions, and even a plug color matching guide.

In the resurfacing tips and ball balance & weighing section, you will find information taken from many expert sources on the best ways to sand and polish a bowling ball, as well as how to use a DoDo scale to make sure every ball you drill is not only legal, but has just the right layout and surface to give your customers exactly what they need.

With over 40 years of experience in design and manufacturing of the Jayhawk Measuring Ball, and being the only current manufacturer of the BT Fitter and the BT Swoval, Jayhawk's knowledge on fitting bowlers' hands is second to none. When it comes to helping you get your customers the perfect fit, our staff of Jayhawk Master Level pro shop operators and instructors is second to none.

The glossary is a growing collection of terms, from basic to advanced to obscure, that a Pro Shop operator needs to know.

The Pro Shop Forms section contains links to download PDF versions of several useful forms, such as ball weight removal chart, measurement layout sheets, oval drilling guides, Jayhawk lease-to-own applications and more.
