String Those Pins (6.6.23) High Avg. (Starlite Lanes)

We are in Flagstaff, Arizona. I was told they had AMF 82-70s. I was informed by the manager when I walked in that they installed string machines just 10 days prior. You will see some weird stuff. ENJOY

My boss would have a fit if we installed that single capping. Thats horrible !! 😢

[@Greggys10Pins]

Not sure what you mean by that.

[@JRBowling1997]

Keep more videos like this coming

[@Greggys10Pins]

More to come!

Did you experience any tangles where the machine took considerable time to reset pins?

[@Greggys10Pins]

No tangles at all. I think the cycle time is slower than the freefalls. Just my opinion.

[@njmaugbill]

Faulty! Tweets needed. Not ready for prime time.

[@Greggys10Pins]

I understand why centers are putting them in. Though, I think they are tacky and they do violate rules by the USBC.

When the manager asked you if you like them [strings], what did you tell him? And what was his response?

[@Greggys10Pins]

Told him that it was my first time bowling on strings. Told him I wasn't too much of a fan of them. Felt like you don't get the pin action like in free-falls. Not much of a reaction from him.

[@fiddlefaddle1]

Did you ask for the two pins that wiggled to be removed? A pin has to tilt 7.5% before it will fall and they didn't look like 7.5 % to me .You should work on your single pin conversions.

[@Greggys10Pins]

I mentioned that to the manager that a slight wiggle made it count as a fallen pin. By the time I was bowling here, those machines were on their 10th day so they were very new and probably needed to work out certain kinks.

[@michaelmcdonough7949]

String pins have NO BUSINESS BEING IN BOWLING!! PRIOD!!!!!!!!

[@michaelmcdonough7949]

PERIOD!!!!!!

[@Greggys10Pins]

I agree. Like I stated at the beginning, they were to have AMF 82-70s. But when I walked in, I saw the strings and the manager informed me that those strings were installed the week before.

[@JRBowling1997]

​@@Greggys10Pinscan you ask them why they went with strings?

[@Greggys10Pins]

@@JRBowling1997 From talking to the manager of the place, they said that the 82-70s kept breaking down a lot of with the supply shortage it was just hard to maintain. So they went to these because they were going to save a lot of money.

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

​​​@@Greggys10Pins bet the manager didn't maintain his/her 82-70's which is why they're breaking a lot everyday just like the 82-90XL Pinspotters at my local center. Also have they ever thought investing the Brunswick GS-NXT ? That Free Fall Pinsetter was released in 2022 and its the most technological advanced, yet there are far less moving parts and its shorter machine height than the GSX or any older GS models, although its the same size as an AMF 82-70 or 90 if not slightly more compact
