Inside Ten Pin Alley

Your local pro shop for drilling, fitting, and gear

From new ball layouts to resurfacing and accessories, Pin Down Pro Shop helps bowlers of every level get dialed in.

Built for bowlers who care about the details

Pin Down Pro Shop is the in-house pro shop at Ten Pin Alley in Wilmington, North Carolina. We carry bowling balls, bags, shoes, grips, and accessories. We drill, plug, resurface, and tune equipment with the same care we expect on our own gear.

Whether you are picking out your first ball or dialing in a tournament layout, our team focuses on fit, surface, and honest recommendations, not pushy sales.

Expert drilling Layouts, pitches, and span matched to your game.
Ball maintenance Resurfacing, plug & redrill, thumb slugs, and grip work.
Curated inventory Balls, bags, shoes, and accessories kept in stock locally.

Peter Balderas

Pro Shop · Ten Pin Alley

We're excited to introduce Peter, who will be running the Pro Shop at Ten Pin Alley. Peter started bowling at just 7 years old and has been bowling in the Wilmington area since 2015. His passion for the sport and desire to help others led him to join our pro shop. Peter looks forward to sharing his knowledge, helping bowlers better understand their equipment, and supporting our local bowling community.

Peter offers plugging and resurfacing services, along with help choosing bowling balls and accessories, with plans to eventually offer drilling services.
