I played many years on string pins. And then had the possibility to change to a center with free fall pins. The difference is huge and strings suck hard.

This is the least amount of strikes ive ever seen on this channel lol

Brett’s X1 is the best looking ball I’ve seen in my life! 😮‍💨

Love packy and his dedication and hard work

7:33 lets face it. This is why string pins are hated. They need to increase the length of the string so these random drops stop happening.

@waynehein8756

I don’t disagree, however once you extend the string length, you increase the percentages of tangles and delay, not to mention string breaking. Only solution is develop a modern free fall machine that is financially feasible (and pins) to lower ownership costs.

You and Brent vs Darren & Lance would be good.

String pin carry is the reason for the flat 7 lol

Ayyy! Can’t wait to see you on tour

Also I’m a bit curious about the shockers program there. I know there are good, but does it change the way they bowl at tournaments?

7:38 reason 3726 string pins are WHACK

I believe they went all string pins there

I thinkg Brent hit it on the head about more aggressive play being viable when it comes to splits. Rather than guys going for wood and taking the pins we'll for sure see a lot more go for it moments on all levels.

It seems like a wild Via has appeared with food

i want you guys to have a split conversion challenge

This should be a PBA/PWBA event theme. Use old stuff that can be certified per the specs of the ball when it was first sold. I like it! Congrats Brent! Well played!!

Mitch Hupe gets the winner!

Or you could do a 7-10 challenge at the Kegel Training Center. I picked up the 2-10 with a bounce from the back at Kegel Sunday

i live close to you, like 40 minutes away, i need to come bowl when your there sometime

Cool video Packy! $59.99 for the ball and $39.99 for the shoes? Before I had a towel/shami for the ball, I used to wipe the ball on my shirt, so I would wear old, dark shirts to league. I still use $39.99 Dexter's with a $15 Hammer slide sock. I rolled a 289 a few weeks back with my Hustle M-M, which retails for $109.95. I look forward to seeing some "string action" shots. Maybe with Barnzy and TJ Rock. Chicken Fil-A is delicious, you can put that Polynesian Sauce on anything and make it taste gourmet... Have a Bless-ed Day!

Bring Brent to Nutmeg Bowl and see who'd win there. I'd back you, Packy!

It would be fun to bowl with you. Even tho I would lose but still would be fun to try

I've never heard of string pins until Packy on House Bowling showed them. to me it looks like the pins do NOT move as much as FREE falling pins they look like dead pins that can't move much.

Place near me got them, they are the WORST to bowl imo. As was mentioned, pocket is way tighter, as you saw reaction is low, and so on. I get why they're becoming more prevalent, traditional pinsetters are insanely expensive new and getting more expensive to maintain for the old ones.

@USB-yp3tc

Yeah, it takes away a lot of the fun of bowling. Cross lane messengers simply don't exist. And picking up hard splits due to the pins "Tarzaning" around on the string does not feel like an accomplishment at all, it even feels a bit undeserving. On top of that, my avg. drops an easy 50-60 pins on string setters compared to freestanding pins. If I have a 200 game on string pins, I'm quite happy. I understand that freestanding-pin machines are just ridiculously expensive in maintenance and I completely understand why centers make the move I just hope that the "String-pin technology" sees some improvement that it gets closer to freestanding pins somehow.

If you think string pins are weird, let's go back to the '80's when magnesium pins were being tested. I went to a tournament in Wilmington and practiced on the magnesiums just for fun. I used a Roto-Grip, 16 lb at a 13 mph speed. I had a 224. This hotshot bowler I knew let fly and left the 5-7-10!

I don’t mind the string pins- it’s fun to shoot splits on them and watch the pin action go all wacky, but let’s please keep them out of pro competition. Although I know the PBA will try to shoehorn them into every tournament they can once it’s feasible.

for the lucky portion, i bowled a 248 with 6/8 strikes being brooklyns once

Packy is way nicer than I am, no way I'm letting someone keep the 8 count from a gutter that came back in a cash game. Another reason packy is the next GOAT

Oh, I get that. I just thought maybe if they were certified with all the videos you post from here, people might have a different view of string pins. Now, before I get slammed, I am not a fan but would be willing to try bowling on certified before I make an opinion. Because we all know about opinions, they are like A##holes everyone has one.

My setup is Freedom USA Flag Bowling Shoes, Primary ball Black Widow 2.0 Hybrid, Spare ball Brunswick Flaming Skull, Double ball Brunswick edge bowling ball

Love these videos. Gotta say, people have tried to sway me on strings and they look awful. So nope, not a fan and I think bowling should be ashamed for trying to save money by using them. 👎 but hey, I love you guys!! So there’s that! 😊

Not looking forward to string pins

I would think the strings would get all knotted up & all tangled up. the videos never show how the string pins get set back up or how pins that don't leave the deck get off the deck? I guess the reason any bowling ally would have string pins would be to cut cost of NOT having a regular automatic pin setter or a combine pin setter?

not having used them, but having watched some unedited videos. they keep attempting to pick up the pins and dropping them until all the pins correctly home. as a technician in another industry you get knots when an end passes through a loop. one end is fixed, the other end isn't far enough away to create loops. so the worst tangle you'd get is strings wrapping around each other

String pins suck.

Who are the guys in back eating McDonald's??

Bro my arsenal is no more than 100 and i average 215 on a house shot 190 on a sport. And also slide on the wrong foot

wow at the stringpin hate, the video wasn't even about stringpins. both bowlers bowled on the same lanes with the same pinsetter so any issues were shared. it's a training centre, not a sports arena. this was a casual challenge game not a sanctioned pro event. they could have done this at a purely casual centre the point wasn't "stringpins are acceptable" it was never about stringpins at all.

I was hoping that you would prove my point that you don't need a thousand dollars of equipment to shoot 250.

Packy…bowling has got to get rid of string pins. PERIOD! In Canada I bowl 5 pin and did so for 50 years (professionally for 29 years) I’ve bowled on both free fall (no strings) and strings…you cannot compare scoring as strings are worse. I’ve also bowled 10 pin so I can make a decent comparison with the two games. There’s more skill on free fall…ball speed, rotation, angle of attack in the pocket. Strings is simply rare back and heave it. I realize the financial advantage of string pin machines but it is a serious disservice to the game and players. Frankly it removes the enjoyment of the game. From what I’ve seen through your videos, there’s no doubt the strings are affecting the game, both physically and scientifically. Somebody has got to a develop a financially feasible automatic free fall pinsetter if Brunswick/AMF eliminates free fall machines.

No strings packy please

I don’t think I’ve ever seen more people cry about something as simple as strings it’s sad

Do not like the strings

I feel like they jus need to move towards the outside, neither of their balls are moving at all

There's almost 0 difference in certified string. Pin bowling and normal bowlingo watch a real true certified string pin alley. It's amazing. You can't tell the difference. These things look horrible.
