BEHIND THE SHOP
01
Custom Ball Drilling
The most important fit in bowling isn’t your shoes — it’s your grip. Our expert drilling is tailored to your hand anatomy, throwing style, and target rev rate. A properly drilled ball doesn’t just feel better. It performs better, every single throw.
02
Arsenal Consultation
Lane oil destroys ball reaction over time. Our resurfacing service restores your ball’s surface texture to factory spec—or adjusts it for your specific lane conditions. Bring back the hook. Bring back the carry.
03
Insert Replacement

More Ways We
Serve
Your Game
Beyond our core services, we offer a range of additional pro shop support to keep your equipment in peak condition and your game moving forward.
Ball Cleaning & Oil Extraction
Bowling Shoe Fitting
The wrong shoes affect your approach and release. We carry performance bowling shoes and help you find the right fit for your foot type and delivery style.
Thumb Slug & Insert Installation
Aftermarket inserts and thumb slugs can dramatically improve your release. We’ll fit and install the right hardware for your grip style.
Layout & Performance Coaching
Not happy with your ball’s motion? We break down your layout, rev rate, and axis tilt to dial in a configuration that matches how you actually throw.
Ball Purchase + Drill Packages
Buy a new ball from us and get it drilled right here, right away. No shipping wait. No separate drilling appointment. Everything done in one visit.
Ball Maintenance Products
We stock the best ball cleaners, polishes, abralon pads, and surface prep products. We’ll show you how to maintain your ball at home between visits.
We don't fit to specs, we fit to you.
Every bowler is different. Different hand sizes, release styles, rev rates, and goals. We measure everything—span, pitch, finger sizes, thumb shape—and create a custom layout that matches your game. Not what worked for someone else. What works for YOU.

WHAT BOWLERS ARE SAYING
Pro Shop Services
Fastlane Bowling Pro Shop is a full-service bowling pro shop located inside Wickliffe Lanes. We help bowlers choose the right equipment, set it up correctly, and keep it performing week after week.
Whether you are buying your first ball, fixing a long-standing fit issue, or dialing in an arsenal for league or competition, our approach stays the same: simple, honest, and done right.
Our services are built around one goal — equipment that fits your hand, matches your game, and rolls the way it is supposed to.
Surface Management and Ball Maintenance
Surface is performance. Two balls can be the same model and hook completely differently based on surface prep and oil absorption.
As a ball absorbs oil and the surface wears down, reaction changes. We help you keep your equipment predictable instead of guessing why it stopped working.
Includes
- Resurfacing and surface changes
- Oil extraction
- Cleaning and performance maintenance
- Maintenance guidance for league and tournament bowlers
If your ball does not hook like it used to, surface is usually the reason.
Ball Drilling and Fitting
A bowling ball should feel like an extension of your hand. When the fit is right, grip pressure drops, your release cleans up, and consistency improves.
We measure, fit, and drill to match your grip, your release, and your comfort level, not a generic chart.
Includes
- New ball drilling
- Fit evaluation and fine adjustments
- Finger inserts and thumb slug options
- Interchangeable thumb systems available
Layout guidance based on your style and goals
If you have been squeezing the ball, fighting your thumb, or dealing with an inconsistent release, this is where to start.
Plugging and Re-Drilling
As your game changes, your equipment should change with it. Plugging and re-drilling is often the smartest way to update fit or layout without replacing a ball that still has life.
We evaluate the ball first and tell you whether the work makes sense before doing it.
Includes
- Plug and re-drill for fit changes
- Layout changes as your game evolves
- Repair work for damaged or compromised holes
Grip and Insert Replacement
Grips wear out. Tape needs change. Thumb feel changes with weather, swelling, and use. Small adjustments here make a big difference in comfort and consistency.
This is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to improve how a ball feels.
Includes
Finger insert replacement
Thumb slug replacement
Tape strategies for consistent feel
Quick fit tweaks to improve comfort and control
Equipment and Arsenal Consultation
Not sure what to buy next, or why nothing looks right on the lanes? We help you build a setup that makes sense for how and where you bowl.
No hype. No pushing random gear. Just honest guidance based on experience.
Includes
- Ball selection based on your game and lane conditions
- Arsenal building for league and tournament play
- Shoe, bag, and accessory recommendations that are actually useful
On-Lane Consultation
Sometimes the fastest way to solve a problem is to see it happen on the lane.
On-lane consultations allow us to watch ball reaction and release in real conditions. Because we cannot step away from the shop during peak hours, this service is scheduled by request and availability.
Best for
- Ball reaction issues you cannot diagnose
- Release and timing problems affecting ball motion
- Identifying arsenal gaps for specific conditions
