I'm JR Raymond, and I built Tenpin Doctors — a ball motion simulator, layout planner and AI coach in one app — for bowlers and pro shop operators who want to know what a ball will do before they drill it or throw it. I build it on my own, in a pro shop and on league night, because both ends of the counter were guessing at the same question: what is this ball actually going to do? WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PRO Free: the Store, the PinPoint tracker hub, The Lab, and the Knowledge library — balls, oil patterns, centers, reviews, the dictionary, documents and pro shops. Pinpoint PRO is $9.99 per month or $69.99 per year. There is no free trial; the free side above stays free. PRO unlocks My Specs, Training, the calculators, the Tenpin Doctor coach, the live ball database, the simulator's full ball library, current oil patterns, and bowler sync across your devices. SEE THE BALL BEFORE YOU THROW IT Roll any ball on a simulated lane with your own numbers: rev rate, axis rotation, tilt, speed, surface and loft. Set your lay-down board and your target at the arrows and watch the line. Change the pattern, change the surface, move your feet — and see what it costs you. ASK THE TENPIN DOCTOR An AI coach that knows your specs, your PAP and the ball you're holding. Ask for a line to the pocket and he'll work one out and set the sliders himself. Ask why a ball rolls out, what to change on a burnt-up house shot, or how a layout will react — and get an answer, not a search result. 2,700+ BALLS, KEPT CURRENT Real RG, differential and core data, updated from our server as manufacturers release them. New releases arrive with their specs and a traced 3D core, ready to roll on the simulator with your layout and release. PLAN LAYOUTS THAT MAKE SENSE Dual angle and VLS layouts worked from your own PAP, with the pin, PSA and mass bias placed on a 3D ball you can turn. Save them, compare them, and simulate the result before a single hole is drilled. FIND YOUR PAP AND YOUR SPECS Scan your ball, find your grip centre and measure your positive axis point. Calculators for axis tilt, rev rate, ball speed, span and pitch. TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE Drills, practice programs and a reference library covering lane play, ball motion and layout theory, with new content added through the season. FOR COACHES AND PRO SHOPS Keep every bowler's specs, layouts and saved shots in one place, synced to every device you work from. WHAT BOWLERS SAY Big D from the Sipp, 5 stars — "As a pro shop guy and just a lover of the game, this app is exceptional! Thanks JR!" Camtastic28, 5 stars — "Has tons of information about all ball manufacturers and everything you can think of when it comes to information. I use this app to help youth figure out how to tackle oil patterns." LIVE TRACKING — OPTIONAL ADD-ON Tenpin Doctors Trackers and Duos are separate hardware accessories, sold separately, that track your ball live on the lane — speed, boards and shot-by-shot data straight into the app. The app is fully usable without them; they add live tracking for bowlers who want it. PINPOINT PRO Pro includes 5 Tenpin Doctor questions each month. Need more, buy a question pack — 25 questions for $2.99, 100 for $5.99, 200 for $9.99 or 500 for $19.99. Bought questions never expire and roll over month to month. Pinpoint PRO is an auto-renewing subscription — $9.99/month or $69.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tenpin Doctors at Free against BowlSheet®'s $29.99. Tenpin Doctors also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). BowlSheet®'s advantage is ratings volume (172 vs 21) and device support (3 vs 1). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
