We've had these in Winnipeg for as long as I can remember, but this is Canada where 5-pin is king.

I first saw them in the late 90's at Uptown Alley which was located on two levels of an old movie palace.

They definitely tangled a lot when they first went in, but it seems like the technology here got better overtime.

I was going to say—i've rolled a lot of 5-pin and pretty much every alley i've been to was string-set. It didn't take away from the game imo, so i'm a little surprised about people's complaining that its going to ruin the game.

perhaps the strings need to be shorter in 10-pin to prevent tangling, which has an effect on things.
