When talking to Kelvin Parker, a Rochester native who has been involved in bowling for 25 of his 35 years, one can sense the passion and desire to make the sport better.
He and his partners, Joe Shullek and Dave Werner, have the goal of “making bowling better by making better bowlers” through their company – A Better Choice Pro Shops, with locations at AMF Gates Lanes and AMF Terrace Gardens Lanes in Rochester.
Bringing different perspectives to the table, the trio offers a complete line of products and services, including instruction, to their customers. Shullek has been in the ball-drilling business for more than 30 years, while Werner is a top tournament bowler who, along with Parker, is keenly aware of what it takes to succeed in today’s bowling environment.
“Things have changed dramatically in bowling; you have to keep up with the latest technology,” said Parker, a member of the Hammer team and co-director (along with Werner) of the annual Bud Light Challenge tournament. “We try to explain things and educate our customers. We look at the individual and what is best for him or her.”
Pinbusters, located at AMF Gates Lanes, and A Better Choice, at Terrace Gardens, are open six days a week. Hours are as follows:
Pinbusters – Monday 2-7 p.m., Tuesday noon-7 p.m., Wednesday through Friday noon-8 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m.-7 p.m.
A Better Choice – Monday 2-8 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday noon-8 p.m., Thursday and Friday 2-8 p.m., Saturday 8:30 a.m.-7 p.m.
