WAHSAM Do you have them installed?

Post by StrikeTheory »

I was really curious about any real life trials, and/or tribulations anyone has had with these.

I am on pretty good terms with the Proprieter at our local house, and was hoping to see some feedback from anyone who is using them on how well they have worked out for them.

I was looking on Innovatives site, and did not see a cost per pair. I was thinking about fronting the cost for a pair, to give them a solid or ringing test!

They work great. The testimonials from satisfied customer's have been amazing. Find out for me which distributor or lane repair company they prefer and I will have someone contact them about pricing.

I've read or heard from someone in the bowling world that this can easily be done on your own without their product. Just by using wood and bracing that area of the gutter better.

If you have a setup like this


flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood
brace...............................................................................brace

VS

flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood flat wood
brace...................................brace....................................brace


You now have a harder surface with less give/flex.
Some places do this when installing the lanes to start with, but should get the same results if added later.

Don't try it. The WAHSAM is far superior! The construction material will definitely make it better than anything you can do on your own. Just my advice.
