bowling string machines

I wonder if you knew there were people that used to set up the bowling pins by hand at some old-timey bowling alleys. Funny saying that now, huh? It is true that this was the way it used to be done, a very long time ago. Bowlers would throw the ball down to lane, then literally someone had run in and put each pins back up again after every chance. Nowadays of course, they have machines to reset all those pins for the bowlers. A type of machine you may see in many bowling alleys is a bowling string machine!

The origin of bowling string machine dates back to 1960s. Bowlers had to rely on human pinsetters before then after every roll. Not only was it slow, but also dangerous for the pin setters. They were on a time crunch and would get injured while setting the pins hostile. For this reason, the invention of a bowling string machine was crucial for how we play today. This ended up making it safer and easier for everyone.

The Evolution of Bowling Alleys'

Bowling alleys have definitely come a long way since they began. They were all-male sealed environments, often smokey and dark places where men would congregate to shoot the bull and play. This did not lend itself well to families or kids. However, today's bowling alleys are typically dingy, and in general is not a very family-friendly place to go. It's common for bowling alleys to have loads of other activities besides the lanes anyway, such as gaming arcades, food and unique events. This development has raised the interest of bowling with individual users accross age groups.

The biggest reason why a bowler string machine is preferred over having people set up pins manually, the fact that it is much safer. Because the pins are strung down to string, Pinboy keeps one man from having to race up and establish them manually in a deeper section of the alley. It also implies that there is no chance of someone getting injured when the pins have to be set. Obviously, safety is paramount and not just because it can have a negative effect on business but also—it turns out! —because people getting punched in the balls while sharing communal public spaces has impacts too.
