Fusion Bowling sells and installs small, private bowling alleys. We hand-pick the highest quality equipment and materials most suitable for a home environment. And it's got to be reliable! We have a small team, a small warehouse, and we are laser focused on small projects even when large projects come our way. This allows us to keep a tight grip on quality control.
We work with awesome people on 1- to 4-lane projects inside the US only. We do projects in residences, recreation barns, basement game rooms, vacation rentals, multifamily clubhouses, corporate office amenities, and other types of private venues. We help you design the bowling alley room, and then we sell and install the equipment.
If you are opening a commercial bowling center, are outside the US, or want a project with more than 4 lanes, we aren’t the partner for you. We don’t take every project that comes our way. We treat everyone with dignity and kindness, and will pass on customers who don't share the same attitude. We also value trust and keeping things simple - no huge complex contracts.
Doyle Claxton (father of Ryan and Matt) starts a company which sells used bowling alley equipment.
As teens, Ryan and Matt begin working in the 20-lane public bowling center their dad built and operates.
Ryan earns an engineering degree and MBA from the University of Florida, and works in multifamily real estate development. Matt studies electronics engineering, then enters the bowling equipment sales and installation business.
When their dad passes away, Ryan leaves his real estate development career to start a new company, Fusion Bowling, with Matt. Their goal is to concentrate solely on small, high-end, customized, private bowling alley projects.
After installing hundreds of lanes in homes, Fusion Bowling has built a stellar reputation among luxury home builders across the country, and enjoys many repeat clients.
It starts with integrity. If you want to work with Fusion Bowling, you have to be high-integrity and conscientious. Treat each customer with respect, and build the project like it's your own.
Ryan introduces new customers to the process, helps with design, and handles sales and marketing.
Matt orders equipment and materials for each project, and performs pre-installation site visits and training.

We work with some of the best builders in the country. Check out some of the homes and buildings we’ve built custom private bowling alleys in.
Our goal is to create a delightful experience for every person we work with—homeowners, builders, architects. But, don’t take our word for it:
"Fusion bowling was great to work with. We knew nothing about bowling lanes and they worked with our contractor to make sure we had everything we needed. They explained the differences between the types of machines and we went with the string machines and are very glad. Our family has started doing a league at our lanes and our used several times a week with absolutely no problems at all. We love our bowling lanes and loved working with fusion. Great service before during and after the sale!!!!"

"Fusion Bowling was hired by me for the installation of a private custom, one-of-a-kind bowling lane. With their relationship with Brunswick – the only red light / red lane ever made – worth every dime. If you ever need a private bowling alley like I did, they get it done."
Operations Manager
"Fusion Bowling did an amazing job. I have used them on two bowling lane projects so far and both of them were installed seamlessly and on time. I highly recommend them!"

"I had never put a bowling alley in a house before, and so when I was looking for a company to provide that service, I met with Matt at Fusion Bowling. Matt and his team provided all the information that I would need and made sure that I knew every detail of what I needed to do to make sure the job went smooth, they made visits to the site and numerous phone calls to me to confirm all openings and placement of all sleeving needed for wiring and made the job a huge success and a very happy client. I highly recommend Fusion for anyone looking to have a bowling alley installed, for the simple fact that the attention to detail and the communication provided from Matt and his team made the job as simple as possible."
President
"The installers were very professional and personal. We thoroughly enjoyed their interactions and the training they provided. Our install was in the basement which required special effort and some tricky maneuvers which the team handled seemingly effortlessly. Have confidence- once you select Fusion Bowling, the process will go smoothly and as advertised."

The answer to this question gets its own cute little flow chart on its own web page. See our Process page.
It can take 4 months or more to get the equipment ordered, prepped, and ready to ship.
A pair of lanes take about one week to install. Single lanes take about six days, and 4-lane projects take about 11 days.
The window of opportunity is after HVAC is up and running but before flooring is installed.
