7 -10 conversion blooper reel - garage bowling alley Brunswick Pinsetter 

22 of them that I was given when I first set up the Pinsetter

I was starting to have my doubts !

There were many many more shots than the video shows. It was a 2 day endeavor to convert it.

I’ve never been so lucky! I can bounce one out but never when I have both standing ! Of course.

Thank you ! I was starting to have my doubts

Trixie is solid steel. I doubt I could bounce a pin out hard enough to dent her

Going live in an hour. I have the colored pins in again

I did oil the lane finally after quite a few tries. I wish I could string 12 in a row ! But it’s a lot harder on a 20 foot lane

Hopefully you could get a 300

Stay safe

Thank you! I’m thinking of going live from the garage this week We’ve thawed out now. Luckily we never lost power.

Thank you !

Would be cool to set up every lane at a center one side to the other and go lane to lane trying to pick it up !

I’ve never been able to pick it up but if I had a dollar every time I had a 7 OR a 10 and bounced one them out to where the other one would have been standing. I’d definitely have lunch money.

Very true!

Check out the live video shoot when mike shoots spares We bowled a game against one another first then did spare shots. Look for mike shooting the 7-10

I had one or two locals I said to come by anytime but haven’t heard from them yet. I’d love to do that so anyone around the dallas area, here’s your invite.

That’s funny! It did surprise me to bring one all the way up to the foul line !

@@GarageBowlingAlley -- I don't think I have ever seen such a high percentage of bouncebacks.

That is a hi-light reel There were a ton of “nothing” shots. My thumb is still healing up

It’s an odd rubber curtain. I’m not used to one like this Thinner and stiff. I’m used to a thicker more flexible pit curtain.

65 tries later

@@GarageBowlingAlley you did finally convert the 7-10 split I hope to see more 7-10 split tries

I think it took me 65 tries to finally get it

mines 12 times

and yes take a long times to make it

feel bad :(

Absolutely ! That’s a great idea. I have a 3 6 7 10 request I think do I can start with that. Then go from there. I’ll do it then take requests for the next to the next to hopefully the next.

I’ve got a friend lined up to come over one day and we’ll do a live spare shot challenge.

@@GarageBowlingAlley I think with the live video٫ you should get suggestions from the live chat

When you least expect it.......

I should go back and edit a bunch together. It’s always fun to sling one out

Mostly from the church where the machine came from and Craigslist. The pins from all over. Friends. Church. Akron Ohio. Allen bowl in Allen Texas

@@GarageBowlingAlley like are they normal sized pins and normal sized balls cuz i seen fingerholes and i wanted to know if its a normal bowling ball

It’s full size pins and ball. Pinsetter too. It’s just a 20 foot lane

It was as bad as you’ve seen it on the news. Neighborhoods by me no power for 24 hours or repeated 18 hour outages. Walmart’s all closed no power. Grocery stores closing at 6. All the basics were sold out. Luckily we never lost power. I think it’s all behind us now. One last night around 20 then 70 by mid week ! Lots of pipes bursting all over town. Houses were in the 40s on the inside. Fish tank owners lost all their fish and corals for the cold and no aeration. Pretty sad ERCOT. Pretty sad 1 degree outside and people’s power was cut for 24 to 48 hours in some cases. We helped out where we could

@@GarageBowlingAlley yeah that kinda sad

60+ takes later. Haha. It finally happened

Bowlero Dallas gave them to me when I first installed the pinsetter thanks to the late Jim Welch

@@GarageBowlingAlley what country?

@@lucstoys4798 USA

@@GarageBowlingAlleyThank

@@GarageBowlingAlleythe bowling balls?

No consistency. There were a whole bunch of clips and I just saved the few worth watching again.

And a little magic

Haha. That’s a good analogy. I pretty much have run out of space. 2 telescores and a magicscore unit plus 3 old ball polishers just scratches the surface.

I’d love to get my hands on anything old bowling out there to add to the garage collection. Anyone out there......I’m always looking !

@@GarageBowlingAlley that Magicscore system must take space.

It does. It’s the console only not the type with the monitors built into it. I hooked it up and got the grid but couldn’t get it to score. I may have to scrap the idea as I’m not sure I could attach the strips on the kickbacks without them getting beat to death or in the way I may need something simpler

@@GarageBowlingAlley I don’t know much about the operation of Magicscores. My knowledge starts with Accuscore.

Church in ft worth Texas. They had a 4 lane setup and the church was closing It rarely got used evidently

Ok thanks !!

You should 5-7-10 split challenge

That was one I was considering. I have a 6 pound ball but would that be cheating ?
