They claim twisters are the first synthetic bowling pin ever made but it’s actually the second. The first synthetic bowling pin ever created was the magna pin. The magna pin was made out of foam surrounded by a shell of magnesium which was then coated with the standard plastic cover stock.

[@bowlingindonesia5808]

Hence the permit number, which Twister is S2, while Magna is S1.

[@toscodav]

I would think the goal of making a synthetic pin would be to duplicate the behavior of a wooden pin. If they fall down easier, I would have to say product is a failure. If you take away the challenge of a sport by making it easier with equipment, You are taking the sport a step backwards if you ask me. If the higher scores are because the product is more consistent, I have no problem with that

[@Anthraxable]

What another things?

[@Lotr2987]

A lot of bowling alleys are not using wooden pins anymore. I'm sure there are benefits with wooden pins than Twister Pins, but some bowling alleys around some countries have been having problems with the low life of wooden pins now, wooden pins are easier to break than Twister Pins, bowling alleys will buy new bowling pins, and then after not that long, some are already weak, some already need replacing, they're just ridding of wooden pins and buying Twister Pins

At 6:02 it kinda looks like it was cut in an editing software. Thoughts?

[@lmankizzle65]

It is look at the wood on the pin the grain is different and also there are are 4 small dimples basically stating that first pin they used actually survived but this one did not

[@Dogappel]

It’s fake

[@austinladd4088]

The main issue with these pins for a center is that they can be so durable they break machine parts when a deck jam occurs. If the pin is stronger than the machine, and something has to give, I would always want the pin to give instead of a moving deck.

[@Lufty25]

look at 6:00 clearly video jumps to a more crushed pin must have taken a couple of runs to get the wooden pin crushed like that.

[@ElationProductions]

Yes indeed. I watched it over a few times and if you watch the bottom closely, you see the end grain changes slightly and there are four dimple markings which become much more pronounced. Definitely not the same pin we saw it drive up on.

[@christopherrodmell1694]

Not all at once just over time, Over the years the ball continues to hit the pins, the machine continues to rattle with them, the Twister pin will get a bit dirty, and eventually maybe a few dints, the logo is just fine, but shouldn’t be a big deal, wooden pins, Nah, they break too easily, the ink just wears away over time, after some years they look worn out already, and something not even that long after you replaced them with new wooden pins they might even begin to break,

[@CaptianNamco]

Awesome I personally like twister pins I visit a center in Vandalia Illinois they have twister pins and my enthusiasm for these synthetic pins grows and now I own Three twister pins for my Pin collection I've been collecting wood pins for years now I said it's time for something different in my collection two twister pins came from Vandalia Bowl in Vandalia Illinois USA and one was a trade I like twister pins that much as far as scoring I shoot between 163 and 231 with those

[@cameronkiltau7799]

The sound of Twisters doesn't bother me nearly as much as the rubbery pin action you get with them.

[@NipkowDisk]

You could really have some fun with custom sets of these in the Petersen Classic. Make some pins two pounds, some five-plus pounds, change the resiliencies such that some are totally dead whereas others bounce like a Super Ball®, et cetera...

I don't like the Twister Pins by mainly the noise and the suface of the pin. I prefer the real pins made of wood. My favorite pin it's the Qubicaamf Amflite II. In my country (France), the Bowlings Alley centers use generally the AMF Bowling pins. After, I not say if the Twister pins are bad, but I don't like this pins, it's my personal opinion. I have four Twister pins, and I never bowl with. Bowling it's the best American sport, hell yeah ! ;p

If you wanna have long durability pins I would recommend to buy the Qubicaamf Eagle Pins, Brunswick Scoreking Pins, Qubicaamf AMFLITE 2 Pins (Latest versions) and Pinnacle Pins they were more durable than any other pins including AMFLITE 2 Pins (old versions) and Brunswick Max Pins (Old and New)

Some bowling alleys don't use wooden pins anymore because they're fed up with them not lasting long enough compared to twister pins, so that's simply just it, if they don't want wooden pins they don't want them anymore. My local bowling alley also stopped using wooden pins and bought twister pins

These pins had there good and bad characteristics. When you hit the pocket light you almost always would shred the rack and strike. When you hit the pocket a touch high. The kind of high hit that on wood pins you would either leave a 4 pin or you would trip the 4 pin. On twisters you would leave the 4,9 split.

Sure replacing them is easy but the money are gonna be wasted which if I was a mechanic, I rather spend the money for Pinsetter parts and oil/cleaner for the Oil Machine. Especially Bowling centers in poor countries can't afford to replace and would rather find pinsetter parts than pins.

[@christopherrodmell1694]

I like this pin yes it does sound odd, but because of it’s high durability, permanent logo some bowling alleys have gone for the Twister pin because they’re finished with wooden pins, I already seen one bowling alley who got the Twister pin and will not be getting anymore wooden pins anytime soon. You may prefer the wooden pins, but you can’t do much if your local bowling alley has thrown away the wooden pins and will not be getting them again because they gone for the strong twister pin

[@michahalczuk9071]

They have higher scoring, because they are more consistent, and that's a good thing. Bowling is skill based game, and any variations should be limited if possible. If they are approved, this means they same average characteristics as wooden pins, but they don't bend or damage so easily. And they are cheaper! These are all big pluses in this sport. And yet, people are complaining about sound (LOL), or the fact, that they are too consistent (better scoring). Well fuck me, lets go back to children setting pins, since pinsetters are too consistent.

[@PinoyBowlerGS92]

One thing I’m worried about Twisters are sliding across the pindeck and won’t fall. I know cleaning the pindecks would be the solution but pretty much most Pinsetter Mechanics would rather clean the Pinsetters and not the pindeck.
