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.

"The finished product was first class. Every item and detail drawn and discussed was executed as planned. Access was difficult and they catered to this. They are true specialists and make the design and construction process very simple, even if you've never done a bowling alley before. I strongly recommend Fusion."

"Loving our newly constructed Fusion Bowling alley. From the initial discussion through procurement, construction, punch list and final orientation, Fusion and the Claxtons were nothing but professional. This all happened during pandemic related supply chain issues which they were completely honest about throughout the process. I highly recommend Fusion Bowling!"

"Fusion Bowling exceeded my expectations 10X! Their crew built it in 5-6 days. Then Matt came to put the finishing touches on it and explained how to run everything. Their customer service is world class! If I build another house, I will use them again! It turned out way better than what I had visualized!"

"Stop looking and shopping around now as you will not beat the quality and service that Fusion provides. Top notch products, installers, and overall company. We couldn't be happier with the job Fusion did and it's great to see such companies still operate like they do!!"
Homeowner
"First of all, the website was very well put together and instantly gave me confidence in their abilities as a company. Fusion Bowling is very thorough and provides needed valuable information. Fusion Bowling made the process easy. From the information packet provided for the contractor to the packages you could select, the entire experience was painless and smooth from start to finish. Don't hesitate. They know what they are doing. And don't be afraid to ask questions. They truly made the process enjoyable and easy for everyone involved. It's still hard to believe it was so simple. And the end result is wonderful and beautiful. The ease of use in operating the equipment was very refreshing too. We smile every time we walk in the room and feel like kids all over again. It has already proven to be a great family and friend activity. The memories have just begun and oh what fun they have been."

"Very professional people. They came in and were very respectful to the family. Cleaned up their mess as they went with the install. When finished with the job, they sat down there with me for a couple of hours to go over the entire system. And if there was anything I wanted to change, they changed it. 10 out of 10 for Fusion Bowling. Everything they did was top-notch."

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.
