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?
Brunswick isn't gonna discontinue them, neither does Qubicaamf because there are many Free Fall Pinsetters still actively in use especially the GSX is still selling. Plus both companies just recently released the GS-NXT and EDGE Free Fall so there's no point of discontinuing them. The centers that are going for Strings are those Entertainment Centers, Bars or Arcade while Free Falls are meant for Bowling Centers that wants Competition like Leagues and Big Tournaments.
