The bowling shops in Sabah we could find are both in Kota Kinabalu. One serves KK Galaxy Bowl at Centre Point Sabah, and the other serves My Bowl at 1 Borneo Hypermall. Both appear in the 2026 Storm VIP directory and share one contact, Dolly. We found no listed shop elsewhere in the state.

The two KK centres
Both shops sit inside bowling centres, so you can test a new ball on the lanes right away. For lanes and game prices, see our guide to bowling alleys in Sabah.
Because both list the same contact, one call should sort out where the driller will be. In fact, the same number also appears for Riverside Proshop in Kuching. That suggests one operator handles Storm sales across Sabah and part of Sarawak.
What we couldn't verify
The directory doesn't confirm drilling, hours or shop names beyond the centre names. We also found nothing for Sandakan, Tawau or Lahad Datu. So bowlers there face a trip to KK or an online order. If you know a shop we've missed, please tell us.
Getting fitted
Call ahead, because bowling shops in Sabah share one contact and the driller can't be in two places at once. Then bring these:
- Your old ball, if you own one, so the driller can check your span.
- The weight of the house ball you use now.
- Any wrist support you wear.
- Your average and how often you bowl.
After drilling, bowl a few frames and go back for small fixes. Our guide to drilling layouts explains what the driller may suggest.
Labuan, Sarawak and buying online
Labuan has no listed shop, so KK is the nearest option for bowlers there. See bowling alleys in Labuan for the island's lanes. Across the border, Sarawak has two listed shops in Kuching; our page on bowling shops in Sarawak covers them.
The KK shops sell Storm-group brands. For Brunswick, Hammer or Ebonite, X Proshop's web store delivers in 2 to 5 working days, though East Malaysia shipping times may differ. Also, Sunway's web store lets you send an RM0 inquiry order to a Storm VIP outlet. Web-store prices in October 2026 ran from RM360 for a plastic spare ball to about RM1,120 for top reactive balls. Before ordering, ask the bowling shops in Sabah what they can bring in. For every state, see our pro shop directory.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a bowling ball in Sabah?
The 2026 Storm VIP directory lists two Sabah outlets, both in Kota Kinabalu: one at KK Galaxy Bowl in Centre Point Sabah and one at My Bowl in 1 Borneo Hypermall. Both sell Storm, Roto Grip and 900 Global balls, and both list Dolly on 017-845 8400 as the contact.
Which pro shop in Sabah drills bowling balls?
The directory doesn't say. Most centre pro shops in Malaysia drill balls, so it's likely, but WhatsApp the listed contact first. Ask which centre the driller works from that week, since one contact covers both.
How much does ball drilling cost in Sabah?
No Sabah shop publishes a drilling price. Across Malaysia, drilling is usually free when you buy the ball at the same shop. For a ball you bought elsewhere, ask for a quote first, and check whether inserts cost extra.
Is there a bowling shop in Sandakan, Tawau or Labuan?
We found none in any listing we read. Bowlers in those towns will likely need the Kota Kinabalu shops, or a web store such as Sunway Megalanes or X Proshop. If you buy online, ask a KK driller about the fee for an outside ball before you order.
