very good video. ❤

❤❤❤

Can pin size be changed with these types of setters? Like if you wanted to swap to duck pin or candle pin could the machine accommodate it?

Looks like a grand piano in the back

BOOOOOOOOOOO

Ive never seen a String Lane where the Pins React Normal..

I know😂

Not real bowling.

*_OMG, it takes that much automation to make a primitive regressive design in pin setting to work JESUS CHRIST AUTISM AUTOMATION!!!_*

Why not at least try this in a league and see how it goes, at least see what the average is for 3 games on a regular and 3 on the string

To all the snotty, negative commenters, I have to say... YOU HAVE CLEARLY NEVER PURCHASED A PINSETTER! Or maintained one. And are possibly deaf. This machine definitely has it's place.

THE SETTING TABLE

that was amazing

This does effect pin action...not a fun time to hit splits or send messengers

Somewhat unrelated question... What's so different about the GSX pit? On the GS2/10/92, you couldn't bounce a pin out with dynamite. But pins bounce out like crazy all the time on GSX. (from a curious 22-year former 82-70 mechanic...)

Question. I heard string pinsetters are becoming more popular around the US. However, Brunswick and AMF have no plans to discontinue their freefall pinsetters right? I know some people strongly disapprove of string pinsetters, though for lower-budget bowling alleys they are a great cheaper alternative. Are bowling alleys that are part of chains like KingPins and BigAls keeping free falls? Which ones are buying the strings?

Question. I've noticed this on all GSX pinsetters, but it follows an unusual pattern of loading the 7 and 10 pins first before adding the rest of the pins to the setting table. Why is that? 0:32

The resistance is psychological. In our subconscious mind when we strike an obstacle (in this case bowling pins) and it falls over our minds say we 'defeated' or overcame that obstacle. But when we knock over the pins with strings we still know that while the pin might have been 'defeated ' the strings are still very much intact. If the strings themselves also became detached from the pinsetter machine when we strike a pin it would be easier to accept this new technology.

Cool?

Message to Brunswick (AMF and Murrey can listen in too) - So guys, if the concern is for the cost of new machines in centers that allegedly cannot afford the standard free-fall machines, why not put your money, time and efforts towards coming up with an efficient, safe and affordable machine instead of suckering people into thinking this 'garbage compactor' as the way to go??? .... String-pin bowling is TRASH and a FRAUD to the game of REAL BOWLING!!

Someone needs to lube that table chain.

No Messengers and the element of luck is gone.

These are a complete joke and a major slap in the face to the bowling industry.

If this is the future of bowling count me OUT.

Do you work for Roque Sr?

I currently work as a mechanic on Brunswick A 2s and I would seriously consider starting an alley with these machines! Maybe not for league players but for recreational users and there are plenty of them out there! I can also envision non sanctioned leagues as I'm not sure if string bowling is acceptable in the bowling Congress.

Oooh

what in tarnation

What is the “telephone bell” sound actually from? Is it a spring?

Still a poor answer for the main problem in bowling pinsetters -- namely placing the pins EXACTLY where they were before the downed pins are swept clear. Sometimes, pins don't fall over but are scooted a bit off of their mark. These auto-pinsetters always put them back to their original position, rather than returning them to the position they were picked up from.

Over engineered

I'll take "Arcade Games That Will Never Get My Money" for 200, Alex

Keep this away from my bowling center.

Greatly altered pin action and takes away from the game itself hope the usbc never sanctions lanes that use these

Junk

me: *types in A-2 pinsetter youtube: hmm interesting looks like this video is good for you

these are the best type of pinsetter available!! cant wait to bowl on more of these in the future!!!!!

I wish these crappy pinsetters won't make it worldwide. I don't care if they're already installed in America and Europe but as long as not here in Southeast Asia cause many Bowling centers that had AMF's or Brunswick GS had no trouble with maintainance costs. Especially here in the Philippines that majority of Bowling centers here are standard (meaning they don't go overboard of making the bowling center look cosmetic, all they want is the gameplay of Bowling to earn money) so don't talk to me about Bowling as Open play is the trend now cause League Bowling is still strong here and it made more money than slow open play, League is pretty much the #1Priority a Filipino Bowling center should value the service to. Only problem with Bowling in the Philippines is that the rest of the country had limited bowling centers outside the capital of Manila, mainly people can't afford of making one and also no big corporations were interested.

USBC, obviously, cannot sanction any of these lanes...

@0:06 when rolled a gutter the gsx doesn't pick up the pins like this

To me it seemsike there's more moving parts and belts than the older style.

Nothing interesting of Strings. So boring than watching moving parts of a real Free Fall pinsetter.

great

Compared to the old A2 pinsetters ( I used to be an A2 mechanic) these GSX pinsetters look alien. They are cool looking machines though. I would love to see one!! The thing that got me the most though is that amazing pin conveyor system. No pin wheel, no ball wheel etc. Just so cool. I shouldn't say it looks alien.. It just looks foreign to me. But I imagine I would be able to work on one.

I wonder why Brunswick never added a Set Button to their Ball Return, you know that Button that recovers 2nd Ball Pin Combinations. Yes there’s a Reset button but it only cycles the pinsetter to the next ball, it doesn’t help incase pins are missing or fell on 2nd Ball before a Ball has thrown. I’m so glad my past Local Center had these rare GS Exclusive Brunswick 2000 Ball Returns (with Set Button, Cancel Button and Pin Indication Buttons) connected to their GS-92’s and I love GS had the best convenience for League Bowlers myself of having the Set Button on their Ball Return.

Nice. But I thought the GS-X is able to detect if no dead wood is there (either gutter ball or 7 or 10 pins missing, nothing else) and not do the sweep then?

Keep doing these videos, please. I loved this.

AWESOME
