Advances in bumper technology

New to a bowling alley near you - smart bumpers. Apparently when you type in the players' names, you also indicate whether or not each bowler wants bumpers. Bumpers will automatically rise into position when the bowler who wants them is up and lower when the next bowler wants bumper-free bowling fun. We big kids can bowl bumper-free with the bumper set! Click the title for Hawthorn Lanes' website and check out their ad.

That's excellent. Bumpers for the kids without interfering with adult bowling styles.

I have tried these out at Lakehurst Bowl and it is a very cool thing. The transition for each player is very smooth and it sets up and down very quickly and suprizingly quietly. Even though it worked really well on the lane we were bowling on the lane next to us had problems all the time that they were there. Now the only thing I think bowling allys need is red and green lights for people who don't know what lane courtesy is.
