Now you can! With our new online drilling service you still get our 5 star customer care, only it’s over the internet! Just send us a ball with your favourite drilling and we will use it as the template to copy it exactly on to your new ball.

Then simply book a time slot with Andy for an online chat. He will discuss all the crucial details such as accurate span measurements finger and thumb pitches, finger insert type, thumb insert type and shape, interchangeable thumb insert system and most importantly your current current PAP. It will all be stored safely and securely on file using the SPECTRE PRO SHOP program.

We will also take a video of style from 3 different angles for future assessment and possible coaching tips and plans which are also available online!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get my drilling?

By sending us a ball with a drilling you're happy with. Along with an in-depth chat, we will use this as a template to drill your new ball.

How do I send my ball to you?

It's as easy as dropping it off at a local shop that offers a shipping service such as DPD. 

I don't have a box, what do I do?

If you don't have a box handy, we will send you one!

How much does it cost

As an introductory offer, we pay for all shipping costs, including the cost of you sending your template ball to us and the new ball sent to you.

The online drilling service starts at £25.

I use a unique layout/inserts/pitches etc. Can you still help me?

The short answer is, yes! We are happy to copy your existing drilling if that's what works for you. “If it ain't broke, don't fix it.”

We also offer more insert types than any other pro shop and with Andy's vast experience, he's pretty much seen it all. So chances are, however complex your requirements may be, he will be able to help. 

How do I receive my new ball?

Once your ball has been drilled, we will send both the new ball and the one you sent us, back to you. We cover the shipping costs.
