BUILT AROUND THE BOWLER EXPERIENCE
Realistic pin action and consistent scoring enhance guest satisfaction. Boost’s USBC-certified, commercial-grade design and construction include longer string length and denser kickbacks that lead to a more authentic bowling experience. Boost’s exclusive on-demand pinsetting lets bowlers enjoy games and league training features that require unique pin arrangements. As the industry’s leading USBC-certified dual-purpose pinsetter, Boost accommodates both the demands of league and tournament play and the high-volume activity of open play. Boost’s precise string length (PSO) optimization lets you switch between them at the touch of a button.
“Most open-play bowlers don’t even notice a difference, and that’s a good thing. If they do, they are fascinated by the concept of pins on strings. It leads to some great conversations about the investments we are making into the center. Our league bowlers are very supportive and excited to have far fewer mechanical issues.”
- Dana Sorenson, Hudsonville Lanes, Hudsonville, MI, USA

“When Brunswick's Boost string machine was introduced, we jumped at the chance to switch our 20-lane FEC to strings. Boost string machines tick all the boxes: no spending labor dollars on babysitting machines, easy to maintain, great guest experience, full safety guarding, and Sync integration. We’re getting about 13,000 frames per stop with Boost. We couldn’t be happier with the performance. No other machine on the market offered an FPS anywhere close to Boost’s.”
