Known for its exceptional work in the field of bowling equipment, Flying is dedicated to continuously innovating and perfecting its bowling ball-return system. As an essential component of the system, our ball-up machine has undergone several iterations. From initial independent research and development to large-scale production, then to meticulous problem discovery and solution, Flying always adheres to the attitude of striving for excellence and continues to optimize and upgrade the ball-up machine.

During independent research and development, Flying engineers have put their professional knowledge and skills to full use. Our engineers thoroughly studied the market demand, carefully analyzed the user feedback, and well designed the new ball-up machine that integrates cutting-edge mechanical technology and electronic control technology to make the ball moving process faster and more accurate.

The successful design and production of the second-generation ball-up machine have not only improved Flying’s market competitiveness but also brought the customers a better experience. It fully demonstrates the technical strength and innovative spirit of Flying Engineers and lays a solid foundation for the company's development in the field of bowling equipment.

 

However, after mass production, the engineers found in practical use that the ball-up machine would occasionally get stuck and generate excessive noise. Realizing that the problems must be solved, the engineers immediately contributed to investigating. After trials and improvements, the engineers finally found the problem sources and successfully proposed a solution. They not only optimized the mechanical structure of the ball-up machine but also upgraded its motor control system, which made it work stably in all kinds of environments. Moreover, the ball-up machine noise during working is remarkably reduced by advanced noise reduction technology.

Flying’s engineers didn’t stop there. During mass production and practical use of the second-generation ball-up machine, they found another problem that caused the ball to slip during rotary rise, reducing the efficiency of the ball moving process. To solve this problem, our engineers redesigned and modified the ball-up machine’s structure and carried out a mould opening. This improved the machine’s efficiency and further enhanced its stability and reliability. However, this is just the beginning. The real challenge is how to transform a design into a real and reliable product.

Flying values precision. Every ball-up machine has to undergo a rigorous inspection. Flying is not only producing a machine, but also offering a safe and fun experience for the bowlers. Therefore, from the beginning of product design to the finished product, every step works with rigorousness and meticulousness.

 

During material selection, the engineers rigorously choose and test each material to ensure that it can withstand any extreme condition the machine may encounter when it is working. These materials are then carefully processed and molded into the various parts of the ball-up machine.

When all parts are ready, assembly begins. It’s a process that requires great precision and patience, in which every screw and interface needs to be carefully inspected and adjusted.

However, the completed assembly isn’t the end of the work. Instead, it’s the start of the entire inspection. After the assembly, each ball-up machine will be tested tens of thousands of times to simulate all situations that the machine may encounter in actual use for anomaly detection. From sound to temperature to vibration, the engineers paid close attention to every detail of the machine during the testing, and no anomaly could escape their eyes. Once a problem is found, they immediately stop testing and conduct an in-depth investigation and repair.

 

Such rigorous testing ensures that every ball-up machine meets the highest quality standards. It also ensures that the bowlers are provided with a safe and reliable product. When the bowlers are playing in the bowling alley, they can feel the machine’s smoothness and stability, from which the engineers’ hard work and rigorous attitude take credit.

 

 

With the continuous progress of science and technology, the ball-up machine may be further upgraded in the future. But in whatever case, Flying engineers’ pursuit of quality and strong sense of responsibility will never change. For them, this is not only a job, but also a mission and responsibility.


Flying is always committed to providing customers with products and services of the highest quality. Through continuous innovation and improvement, Flying will continue to lead the development of bowling equipment.

FAQ

How many lanes does it take to open a bowling alley?

There's no strict rule on the number of lanes required to open a bowling alley. It depends on your business goals and target market.

Here's a breakdown to help you decide:

  • Small niche alleys: Some bowling alleys might focus on a specific audience, like a boutique bowling alley with just a few lanes catering to a high-end clientele. They might have other revenue streams besides just bowling, like a fancy restaurant or bar.
  • Traditional bowling alleys: These typically have many lanes, often around 8 to 24 lanes , to accommodate a larger number of bowlers and maximize revenue through lane rentals.
  • Mini bowling: Certain alleys might offer mini bowling, which uses lighter balls and shorter lanes. This could be a good option for a family entertainment center and wouldn't require a large number of standard lanes.

Ultimately, the number of lanes is a business decision based on your target market, budget, and the overall experience you want to create.

How to maintain the mechanical equipment of a bowling alley?

Fairway boards and equipment require regular maintenance. Fairway boards need to be oiled every half month and cleaned daily to extend their service life. At the same time, the condition of the rope and ball return machine needs to be checked every period of time to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. Specifically, we will give you detailed maintenance manuals and videos to teach you how to maintain.

​What are the equipment and parts used in bowling?​

It is mainly divided into equipment and fairway board parts. The equipment part mainly includes a ball-return machine, ball-up machine, lane computer, string pinsetter machine, etc. The fairway board part includes the gutter, fairway board, etc. The most important sections are the lane management system and the lane scoring system. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed equipment configuration list.

​Who makes new bowling equipment?​

Flying specializes in manufacturing brand new bowling equipment. All the equipment, fairway boards, balls, and pins we provide are brand new. Including the scoring and management systems of our bowling lanes, they are all unique and developed by ourselves.

How many feet is a bowling lane?

We have a total of four different sizes of bowling lanes. The length of a standard bowling lane is 84 feet. The length of Duckpin Bowling Lane is 39.4 feet.  The Mini Bowling Lane size is 39.7 feet. The size of the children's bowling lanes is 14.1 feet. In addition, the length of our standard bowling lanes and duckpin bowling lanes can be customized.

Price
How much does it cost to put a bowling alley?

The cost of building a bowling alley can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including:

  • Number of lanes: This is obviously a big one. A single lane will cost much less than a whole alley with multiple lanes.
  • Location: Building costs are higher in some areas than others. Building in a more populated area will likely be more expensive than a rural area.
  • New construction vs. renovation: If you are adding a bowling alley to an existing building, you'll likely save money compared to building a whole new facility.
  • Features: Do you want a high-end bowling alley with all the latest technology and amenities? Or are you looking for a more basic setup? The more features you want, the more expensive it will be.

Here's a rough ballpark of what you might expect to pay:

  • Home bowling alley: A single lane for your house could cost anywhere from $75,000 to $175,000.
  • Small commercial alley: A few lanes in a commercial setting could run from $150,000 to $600,000.
  • Large commercial alley: A full-sized bowling alley with many lanes could cost millions of dollars.

If you're serious about opening a bowling alley, it's important to consult with a professional contractor or bowling alley equipment supplier to get a more accurate estimate for your specific project. They can take into account all of the factors mentioned above and give you a more realistic idea of the costs involved.
