We Welcome You To Join the Diamond Duck Club
Welcome to America’s New Hangout!
DuckPin Bowling is a very real bowling game, born in the early 1900’s at the old Diamond Alleys in Baltimore, MD. DuckPin is the ORIGINAL small ball game, a hybrid of TenPin & Mini.
DuckPins are played on a full size regulation TenPin lane with small balls, small ball gutters & an unique bowling pin. This game of skill scores like TenPin bowling but you are allowed an optional extra throw each frame to pick up all ten pins.
DuckPin is more real & more fun than traditional bowling. The attraction spans generations; adults & kids love it, hipsters’ dig it, genXers’ strike on it, millennials’ thrive on it, and baby boomers’ can still do it!
Infinity revitalized this classic bowling game by providing modern pinsetters, autoscoring & lanes. DuckPin is a game of skill & legend is a perfect 300 game has yet be thrown.
ADDITIONAL BOWLING FACTS:
- Bowling is a lifetime sport and knows no age or physical barrier. It is easily the favorite sport for family together participation.
- Bowlers spend the most dollars on recreation and entertainment. They consume more food & beverages while participating than any other recreational activity.
- Bowling is the number one participation sport in the United States. Close to 70 million people bowl at least once every year.
- Bowling is an indoor recreation sport that is enjoyed year round. Day or night, rain or shine, anytime is the right time to go bowling.
THE DOLLARS & SENSE OF BOWLING:
- Bowling is a cash business with little or no account receivables, inventory costs, spoilage or bad debt exposure.
- Bowlers do other things while they bowl. Ancillary income sources such as food, beverage, vending and arcade games contribute an additional 50 – 60% of total revenue. If you plan to accommodate for party play, many cases this number totals over 200 – 300% of the bowling revenues.
- Since the invention of the automatic pinsetter in the 1950’s, bowling has enjoyed consistent popularity during good and bad economic times. There are actually more bowlers participating in the sport today than there were in the bowling “boom” era of the late 1950’s.
- Bowling is an unique industry in that few, if any direct costs are incurred in the production of the product. After the initial outlay of capital for equipment, there is virtually no marginal cost involved in the selling of a game of bowling. The obvious result is the ability to increase the volume of business (revenues) while incurring little, if any, additional expense.
