String Pinsetters: The Future of Bowling?
Introduction
Get ready for a strike in the evolution of bowling! String pinsetters are a revolutionary technology that's changing the game. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
This blog post from Flying, a leading bowling equipment provider, dives deep into the world of string pinsetters.
What is a Bowling String Pinsetter?
Unlike traditional free-fall pinsetters that rely on gravity to reset pins, string pinsetters utilize a sophisticated network of strings and pulleys. Here's a breakdown:
String System: Durable strings are attached to each pin's top.
Lifting Mechanism: A computer-controlled drawbar raises and lowers the strings.
Pin Resetting: After a roll, the system lifts all pins. The computer determines which pins remain standing and lowers only those for the next frame.
Benefits of String Pinsetters
String pinsetters offer several advantages over traditional models:
Reduced Maintenance: Simpler design with fewer moving parts means easier and faster repairs, minimizing downtime.
Cost-Effectiveness: Lower maintenance and operation expenses translate to savings for bowling alley owners.
Improved Efficiency: Quicker pin resetting allows for faster gameplay, increasing customer throughput.
Quieter Operation: String systems generate less noise, creating a more pleasant bowling experience.
Are String Pinsetters the Future?
While string pinsetters offer undeniable benefits, some debate surrounds their impact on the game itself. Here's what we know:
USBC Certification: As of August 2023, the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) has certified string pinsetters for competitive play with specific regulations.
Potential Scoring Differences: Research suggests a slight decrease in strike percentages compared to free-fall pinsetters.
A Different Bowling Experience: The overall feel of the game might differ due to the nature of string pin action.

Is it profitable to open a bowling alley?
Opening a bowling alley can be profitable, but there's no guarantee of success. It depends on several factors:
Market Demand: Is there a local interest in bowling? Consider the demographics of your area. Does it have a large enough population to support your business? Bowling alleys tend to do well in areas with disposable income for entertainment.
Competition: How many other bowling alleys are there nearby? What kind of experience do they offer? You'll need to find a way to stand out from the competition.
Concept: What kind of bowling experience are you creating? A traditional bowling alley with many lanes focuses on lane rentals. A boutique alley might have fewer lanes but offer high-end food and drinks. A family entertainment center might have mini bowling alongside other attractions.
Location: This is crucial. High-traffic areas with good visibility are ideal. Consider the cost of rent or property purchase in your chosen location.
Management: Running a successful bowling alley requires good business acumen. You'll need to manage staff, inventory, marketing, and maintenance costs effectively.
Here are some things that can improve profitability:
Diversified Revenue Streams: Don't rely solely on lane rentals. Offer food and drinks, host parties and events, or consider adding other entertainment options like arcade games.
Modern Amenities: Invest in comfortable seating, high-quality equipment, and a clean environment. Consider technological upgrades to scoring systems or interactive features.
Customer Service: Friendly and efficient staff can keep customers coming back. Offer specials and promotions to attract new customers and reward loyalty.
Overall, opening a bowling alley requires careful planning, research, and a solid business plan. While there can be good profits to be made, it's not a low-risk venture.
