The Dude Abides & finally Bowls on Infinity "Real" Wood

In the movie “The Big Lebowski,” Jeff Bridges NEVER throws a ball while playing an avid bowler called The Dude. The Oscar winner tells Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist how the iconic character prepared to hit the lanes.

Jeff explains his inspiration of how “The Dude” prepares to bowl, he invokes the spirit of Ed Norton from Jackie Gleason’s “The Honeymooners.”

The stage is set on Infinity’s “real wood” tongue & groove hard rock maple lanes featured at The FishBowl in The Dream Hotel, Midtown Manhattan.

Infinity The "Original" Social Bowling Attraction

Infinity started the short lane social bowling craze 25 years ago with the original small ball bowler MiniLane™ a 50% to scale tenpin bowling system.

A couple offspring’s of MiniLane™ was our Midway Bowling Attraction developed for the Six Flags Amusement parks. Ninja Mini-Bowl debuted on DiY’s TV hit network program, “The Vanilla Ice Project.”

Infinity’s Full-Size TenPin bowling system premiered on DiY networks presentation of Rev Run’s Renovation, the family’s basement was transformed into an entertainment showplace. Rev’s lane was 34′ in length, we can provide any length up to a regulation 80′ with full-size pins & balls.

Social DuckPin Bowling is by far our most popular attraction. All of our experience has led to the most Authentic DuckPin Bowling system on the market. Infinity Diamond DuckPin™ Bowling is not a space eater nor is it a kids arcade game.

Lane Look & Finish

Our most popular surface is the traditional maple look. The surface is 100% phenolic, the same surface and composition used by regulation full size bowling.

The playing surface is designed to take repeated abuse it will not ball dent or scar, it will take a pounding day after day.

Glow Lanes

An Ultra-Violet image is layered as part of the lane laminating process, when exposed to black light the lane is transformed to a moonlit playing surface that

Glows-in-the-Dark

Automatic String Pinsetting

Click on SES Logo to See Pinsetter in Action

The SES pinsetter evolved from the original Schmidt string machine.

Over 60 years in the making, this is German engineering at its BEST. There are sites in the US that have SES/Schmidt pinsetters running over 40 years! ZERO planned obsolescence here.

Simplicity of design is the key to our RUGGED machine tool that is engineered to last. There are 90% FEWER moving parts on a Infinity/SES string pinsetter.

Built like a Tank with 90% Fewer Moving Parts

Traditional pinsetters have mechanisms to grip and grab each pin to set them one by one. These antiquated systems REQUIRE an additional set of 10 pins for an upper moving staging deck, plus there are many more moving parts, the EXPENSE goes ON & ON. Infinity/SES string pinsetters ELIMINATES all of these moving parts!

When a ball knocks down pins on the Infinity/SES pinsetter, the pins FLY with ZERO restraint. Much like a fishing reel, there is NO drag on the line. The machine pulls all 10 pins up into a centering deck and then sets them back down. Pins are back on spot & ready for the next ball. The process is quick & amazingly simple.

No Need for a High Skilled Pinsetter Mechanic

There is NO NEED for a specialized mechanic. Budget a few minutes each week for minor adjustments & cleaning.

NO Lane “Oil” Required

Engineered Dry Lane Lengths

Oh-Yeah!

A Bowling strike is one of those distinctive “oh-yeah” moments in life, liken to a crack of lighting or the crack of major league home run.

Shorter is Better

A long lane is absolutely NOT required to enjoy an “authentic” bowling experience. The optimal footprint length for realistic play for the Infinity Traditional full-size lane ranges between 42′ to 54′. For DuckPin/Mini the optimal lane length ranges between 32′ to 38′.

Our lane is not just shorter to be shorter it is calculated to play better. We took into consideration the physics of ball size & pin spacing. The break point for real hooking action on a dry lane requires a shorter lane.

No Need to “Oil” the Lane

We developed an “oil-less” bowling surface to play better & eliminate the mess/cost required for maintaining a traditional 80′ Bowling Lane.

The oiling process is a hassle not worth your time, not to mention the dry cleaning bills for having lane oil on your cloths, on your balls and all over the machinery.

WOW Factor!

Being closer to the pin action a bowling strike on an Infinity engineered lane is an awesome experience!

No Need for Pencil & Paper

You can SCORE automatically with our computerized score keeping. Every ball thrown is tabulated real time on High Definition score grids. Animated action graphics highlight special events like strikes, spares, splits, even your gutter-balls.

Each pair of lanes can have a Single, Dual or Triple LED monitor display mounted from your ceiling or our monitor support arch. 40-60″ single lane displays can be fixtured over the front façade.

Our stand-alone scoring system does not require a central desk for your guest to play. The system can be configured to start via GAME tokens, BILL acceptors, CREDIT cards or third party DEBT/ SWIPE systems.

System parameters allow for play by the GAME or by TIME. Even arcade tickets can be dispensed for strikes, spares or high scores.

We placed Rev’s ball return against the longest wall in his basement. The pinsetter in the back corner & the stand-on approach against the opposite wall.

Vanilla Ice & his Ninja Mini-Bowling Lane as shown on Season 6 of DIY Networks hit home renovation TV series.

Ninja Bowl was inspired by Infinity’s original MiniLane™ bowling system.

The unit was installed along the side of the 2nd floor stair-well. The players area shares the walk space as you enter into the game room.

The walk space was created by moving the ball rack even with the front of the lane.
