Built Around the Bowler Experience

Boost ST delivers realistic pin action and consistent scoring for a true bowling experience. With longer string length, denser kickbacks, and USBC certification, it’s designed for both competitive league play and high-volume open play. On-demand pinsetting adds training and unique game formats with ease.

“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.”

“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.”
