Check this out: Kegel Lane Machine
« on: October 27, 2008, 11:39:04 PM »
Country Lanes, where I bowl, just invested $40,000 in Kegel's lane walker conditioning machine.  The lane guy was showing us how it worked.  It is cordless.  He can program what dressing they want to put down, and the machine will oil whatever lanes he wants, 1-32, or maybe 1-20...he can leave and come back and it will take care of it.  There are all sorts of patterns pre-programed in.   Anyway, I took a video of how it moves around.  This is interesting technology.

That is one of the coolest things I have seen. Since I hate dressing the lanes, because I usually have to run back to the counter all the time, that would be soo much more productive.  Awesome.

I saw this machine at the USBC Open in Albuquerque.  I wish we had one in the center that I bowl at.

the owner of house I bowl league purchased this machine during Bowl Expo this summer.  It is a really nice piece of machinery.  Only thing it doesn't do is upright itself and roll from whence it came

On a sad note, one would think operation of the machine is 'dummy proof'.  Whenever the lane man isn't there, she has proven the 'dummy proof' theory to be wrong!!!

The Gathering 2014 is near.  July 25-27 in Winston Salem, NC @ Creekside lanes.
