Bowling pinsetters — the heart of every lane.

Name: Pinsetters — Boost ST & GS NXT
Brand: Brunswick Bowling

A pinsetter has to work every single day. That's why we install two — and only two: the best-selling Boost ST string pinsetter and the GS NXT free-fall. Both are Brunswick, both are backed by our own installation and service.
