Cedrick Bell, known by customers as “the Dr. of Bowling.”
Cedrick owns and operates Strike Zone Pro Shop, a veteran-owned business in Chandler, Arizona. He helps bowlers across the East Valley make confident choices about selection, fit, drilling, surface, and lessons.
The customer-earned nickname describes a reputation for hands-on bowling guidance — not a formal degree or credential.
Cedrick brings a personal recommendation, built around the bowler in front of him.
Experience that informs every fit.
After serving in the United States Navy, Cedrick has spent 29 years bowling. His own experience helps keep the conversation practical and grounded in the game.
20 sanctioned 300 games
9 sanctioned 800 series
Top-30 finish
USBC Senior Masters Tournament
His tournament record includes a top-30 finish in the USBC Senior Masters Tournament. Cedrick has also bowled several non-sanctioned 300 games and 800 series.
Fits the bowler, not the inventory.
Cedrick personally guides the process from the first conversation through selection, fitting, and drilling. The work is practical and lane-informed: understand how the bowler plays, make the equipment fit, and tune the surface to support that game.
Strike Zone Pro Shop favors education over sales pressure. Whether someone is choosing a first ball or refining a setup for league nights, the goal is a clear recommendation that makes sense for the bowler — not a push toward whatever happens to be in stock.
That same approach carries into lessons, with room for first-time bowlers and league veterans alike.
Bowling help grounded in the work.
