    Centers can upgrade their lanes to have bumpers that are tied into their scoring system and go up and down based on which bowler is up. But, this is a rather expensive upgrade so it tends to be rare at this point. I've seen several centers that have them...they usually work pretty good.

    I'd also add that "10" is a little old for bumpers...maybe work with the lil guy/gal so they don't need them.

    That's awesome, I didn't know those existed.

    LOL
    My local center when they put in synthetics lanes about 8 years ago upgraded to the automated bumpers. They're great when I bowl with my kids.
