Top 5 Reasons to Choose Boost ST String Pinsetters
Authentic bowling, lower operating costs, and a future-proof design
As labor costs and shortages continue to challenge bowling entertainment centers worldwide, replacing freefall pinsetters with string machines is becoming increasingly appealing. Now Brunswick has made it even more attractive by introducing a string pinsetter that delivers an authentic bowling experience worthy of USBC certification.
Different by design, Boost ST is the only cloud-enabled string pinsetter built to last and adapt as business needs change. Boost ST incorporates advanced sport technologies to elevate performance, safety, operational efficiency, and the bowler experience.
Reason #5: Plug and Play with Any System
Boost ST is fully compatible with any major scoring system, delivering all the quality, durability, and performance you'd expect of a Brunswick product. Even better, Boost integrates seamlessly with the Brunswick Cloud, Sync scoring and center management system, and the Brunswick platform of solutions. Special features reserved for Sync users include pinsetting games, error reports, and the Pronto operations app. Boost's exclusive on-demand pinsetting lets bowlers enjoy games and league training features that require unique pin arrangements.
Reason #4: A Safer Design
Boost ST is the only pinsetter on the market with a fully guarded machine, with all adjustments made from the rear of the machine. When detangling or replacing pins, the movable curtain provides improved access for optimal safety.
Reason #3: Lower Labor and Operating Costs
Boost's intuitive touchscreen makes it simple enough for any staff member anywhere, from the front desk to the kitchen, to operate. Boost's self-detangling mode reduces downtime, and its modular design allows components to be quickly replaced in the field by center staff. The switch to Boost can result in significant labor savings for proprietors, as they reposition mechanics to address neglected building repairs and perform other revenue-generating game maintenance.
Boost uses smart, energy-efficient technology that runs motors only when needed, reducing energy consumption by more than 70% compared to traditional freefall pinsetters, thereby lowering operating costs. And Boost features 80% fewer components than traditional pinsetters, with no components that require regular maintenance (other than strings and pins).
Reason #2: Deliver a Better Bowler Experience
Boost ST enables centers to meet and exceed bowlers' expectations while reducing operational expenses. Brunswick's exclusive 360 Controller features adaptive variable detangling that automatically resolves 99.99% of frames bowled without staff intervention, resulting in a better guest experience and happier staff members. Some centers report 13,000 frames per stop with Boost—far better than any other string pinsetter on the market.
Boost's realistic pin action and consistent scoring are key to enhancing guest satisfaction. Commercial-grade design and construction include longer string lengths and denser kickbacks, leading to a more authentic bowling experience.
Reason #1: The Future-Proof Solution
Boost ST stands alone in delivering the flexibility and agility to adapt to whatever tomorrow brings, combined with long-haul durability. Leveraging the Brunswick Cloud, 360 Controller seamlessly updates performance features (such as detangling), user interface improvements, and other functionality on an ongoing basis—without the need to replace hardware.
Modeled after Brunswick's iconic GS NXT, Boost is designed with rock-solid reliability you won't find in any other string pinsetter. Durable 100% phenolic-covered kickbacks, steel frames, and locking ball door minimize your business risk.

Boost ST is backed by Brunswick's exceptional ongoing support and commitment to software-driven upgradability and innovation. Like all Brunswick products, Boost comes with the unmatched installation, training, 24/7 tech support, service, and warranty from the biggest name in bowling.
