A basic behind the scenes video at our centre. Shows 1st and 2nd cycles, balls being returned and various pin spotter parts. ( yes, our pins are filthy in this video! )
We tried out those Twister Pins many years ago when the rings at the neck were gray. Those damn pins were causing damage to our 82-70's not to mention increased out of ranges and the pin necks breaking. We shipped those right back to Germany and went back to the Amflights II.
AMF Lite II are definitely the best bowling pins, but Brunswick Max pins are good too. I'm just surprised that those Twister pins caused damages to your pinsetters. Twisters are made of synthetic
I so can't wait to add twister pins to my collection only issue is I can't afford shipping or anything sadly I have had just Brunswick Max with crowns and rings and AMF amflite twos and one Linds pin and quibica AMF amflite twos as well
Here’s my suggestion if you wanna stick with wood pins while saving money and extend the pin lifespan: Buy 4 Boxes of AMFLITE 2’s for each lane, label the first 2 Boxes “A” and the other 2 Boxes “B”, and after the year ended swap them out back and forth. Like A is done for the year and B is ready for a new year, then when the Year ended for B, swapped them again and put A back in, so you basically do this every year cause I know the lifespan of Wood Pins won’t be long.
Wow. This machine double stacks! The latest brunswick has a pin elevator that sends pins back. Step backward if you ask me. Can't beat the pin wheels. I like how they kept the best of the 82-30 and 82-90s. and only made slight mods.
+Rodj No, these are 8290-XL machines, but the XLi's came after these, it makes sense that most of the same components would be carried across to the newer models.
They are the guards we got when the machines were new on install, again, the older parts were carried across..why would they make a new guard when there is no need to? XLI EDGE machines though, that's a different story, they have been fully re-designed and look different from the older series.
Due to some pictures I found, I think that the late gen 90XL's or the ones that were made right before the XLi came out used the same guards on them as the XLi's.
I could tell this is an 82-90XL's with the shuttle is the same as the 82-70's. Speaking of that, I bowled on 82-90XL's that still have the Aluminum 82-70 Table
Man, the pinwheel is a heck loud and probably a bit more louder than Brunswick pinwheels. I’ve actually bowled on these with loud pinwheel gonging but also they kept clicking while they’re running. Also this pinspotter seems to run fine while the ones I bowled on were operated like junk lol, thanks to SM Bowling (Philippines’ own cheap Bowlero) and what a rotten reality for my Bowling League is, I’m even skeptical of working with those due to how the condition is for 8 Years after being bought refurbished including the Pandemic made their machines rotten away for 1 and a half year now with no reopening and the recondition is a LONG WAY there.

It’s because mainly of the sound and also they tend to slid instead of fall. To me, I like Twister Pins because these pins are eco friendly for trees since mostly wood pins got their wood from trees and being destroyed by Bowling Ball impacts every year as always, plus sounds of Broken Wood Pins are a lot worse than Twisters to be honest and they’re also money saving for proprietors. Also to prevent these pins from sliding around, just take a sandpaper and sand their bottoms a bit.
The cages appeared and all the other safety apparatus appeared because some bonehead lane mechanic did something really stupid and got hurt. Maybe if lane mechanics had brains enough to realize they might get hurt by sticking a body part where it doesn't belong the cages wouldn't have been necessary.
At least only necessary guard on AMF’s are the Ball Lift Guards, I hate Some or Many Bowling Centers with AMF’s (82-30’s, 82-70’s and 82-90 XL’s) when they remove those Ball Lift Guards.
Some guy has only just done an experiment with that. He put about 50-60 pins in his A-2 pinsetter, there were literally 49 pins in the ball pit! it stuffed the process, there were deck jams, turret problems. Way too many pins. If you want to reduce the amount of times the pinsetter has to keep waiting for another set of pins, I'd say a maximum of 24 or 25 pins will do, maybe not on any of the AMF machines
So what's worse, Twisters or overused Wood Pins? My center had QubicaAMF Eagle Pins and they already got beaten up so badly, the center can't change them out because they don't have budget for new pins
But Broken Wood pins are worse than Twisters and oh spending money every like 3-4 years for replacement of wood pins doesn’t get you anywhere for purchasing more pinsetter parts.
Broken Wood Pins are worse than Twisters and good luck for money wasting on each wood pins each year which were also wasting the lifespan of trees and we need trees to save the planet.
Dang! Those pins look like they been threw 2 world wars!
Wow...those pins need some serious reconditioning.

No doubt! Wish we could do the same.

Another really good video. Unlike most of the ones on CZcams, this really shows the uninitiated how these great machines work.

Twister pins FTW!
FTW it Means For The Win!
I've never been one to want fancy, expensive things. But If I could afford it, I would get a real lane and pinsetter.
Same, it's just something I would literally always use. I'm finally on a league again after like 10 years, and would love to play all the time.
1:15 lol that 1-5 leave
I love the twister bowling pins
Hate twisters
I like them to!
I don’t like when Twisters just slid but I like that they’re eco friendly than Wood Pins coming from trees and also money saving.
Awesome. Video i so hope i can a twister pin some how for my pin collection
are the sweep and table gearboxes the same as the 82-70s cause i noticed the pitmotor is way different. and you have a coasting sweep lol
look at the respot cells when at zero.....specifically the 7.......yikes
so satisfying
Yeah i love watch the pins move down the conveyor belt on to the pinwheel! Its my favorite part of the AMF machines
These are actually XLis due to the form of the pin elevator guards and ball detects.
+Rodj No, these are 8290-XL machines, but the XLi's came after these, it makes sense that most of the same components would be carried across to the newer models.
+Pin Techs Why do they have the XLi shape pin elevator guards(The black thing around the actual wheel)???
They are the guards we got when the machines were new on install, again, the older parts were carried across..why would they make a new guard when there is no need to? XLI EDGE machines though, that's a different story, they have been fully re-designed and look different from the older series.

Nice.....
those are twister pins. They are un breakable XD
I live near a bowling alley with these pins
elilovestrains Some Brunswick machines have Twister Pins.
Elilovestrains whats the name of the bowling alley.

Twisters are Eco friendly for saving trees because we know Wood pins are coming from trees and also saving money for proprietors
how can you hae a big bowling alley if i owned one i would mix amf and twissters 10pins
Idk why most people hate on twister pins i like them

This vid reminds me of the good old days.... Machine without those fck*ing cages around them!
For my own *safety*....yugh

belle machinerie
Yoke adjustment needed.
How many sets of pins can a machine handle?
20 pins in total
Some guy has only just done an experiment with that. He put about 50-60 pins in his A-2 pinsetter, there were literally 49 pins in the ball pit! it stuffed the process, there were deck jams, turret problems. Way too many pins.

This looks like a Brunswick GS.
This is the AMF pinsetters
no......the brunswick GS looks like an AMF.....The AMF 82 series was out LONG before the brunswick GS series
GS Pinsetters are completely different pinsetters
Your sweep's coastin' pretty bad... I see interlocks in your future...
We have had interlocks on many of our lanes, but we are waiting for parts to be authorised before we strip out the main assemblies.
WTF.... twisters looking like that in an 90XL machine ? (not that fun of twisters ,but ok)
Those Twisters look disgusting. All sorts of scratches and dings that get dirty. I don't think I'd ever switch to them.
I fucking hate the sound of twister pins! Their so clunky
Wood just can't be beaten!
true
GreatestGulag Twister Pins do not have wood. Brunswick and AMF pins do tho.
So what's worse, Twisters or overused Wood Pins? My center had QubicaAMF Eagle Pins and they already got beaten up so badly, the center can't change them out because they don't have budget for new pins

Twister pins suck
I hate those twister pins... the sound they make is horrible and their action isn't good either
But Broken Wood pins are worse than Twisters and oh spending money every like 3-4 years for replacement of wood pins doesn’t get you anywhere for purchasing more pinsetter parts.
P
Twister pins suck they have no beautifull sound
Broken Wood Pins are worse than Twisters and good luck for money wasting on each wood pins each year which were also wasting the lifespan of trees and we need trees to save the planet.
