What in the world is this...

Anyone have a clue what this is? I have no idea what's going on here lol. It looks like some sort of a mix between regular 10 pin bowling and candlepin bowling. The ball looks smaller than a regular ball, but bigger than a candlepin bowling ball, same goes for the pins. Vibrant colors everywhere. I have no clue what I just watched haha.. Anyone know what this is or seen this before?

Pretty wild. I don't get why they use strings instead of free roaming pins.

just another way of setting the pins, maybe it's cheaper/easier with those types of pins compared to the traditional pin setters regular bowling uses

Takes me back to the old arcade game of bowling I played as a child while Dad bowled league. Pins were attached at the top and if hit correctly they would just fold up. Those strings appear to be another variation of that old arcade game. Now what I would like to know is do the "ropes" ever get tangled up into knots!...."We have a clove hitch knot on lane 6"

According to the ad, you don't need a mechanic.

The Vollmer Pinstter you can see a close up of a ten pin model in this pdf.

The Nebraska college team uses pins attached to strings to practice. It was a lot cheaper system than regular pinsetters.

That might be Fun! It has Pins, alley, and Ball! What else could a bowler want! I did read that their is a mechanic, but he is on strings also!!
