Turner Club is unique in that it has (8) eight 9-pin lanes and (8) eight 10 pins lanes equipped with automatic pin setting machines. Most 9-pin clubs have 4 to 10 lanes of 9-pin only. Yes these lanes can be set for 10-pin manually, but Turner Club has both. Our Club can have up to 16 lanes that can be used for 10-pin or two separate leagues of 8 teams each one 9-pin and one 10-pin at the same time.

Turner Club has 16 wood lanes and approaches that are approximately 35 years old. The history behind the lanes is that they were shipped in the early 70's to Japan for a huge bowling alley that was being constructed there much like a high rise that would have x number of lanes on each floor.

The lanes were built there and the project failed.  Turner Club I am sure was one of many bowling establishments that purchased these lanes.  The lanes were dismantled and shipped back to the USA where they were put back together and are in use throughout America.

Lanes 1 through 8 are used for 9-pin bowling where the pins are set by pin setters. These lanes are also equipped with 10 semi-automatic pin setting machines that are unique and between 75 and 100 years old. They were produced and sold by Brunswick between 1900 and 1925. The model number of these machines is B-10. These machines allow the pin setters to set up the pins for regular 10 pin bowling. Lanes 9 through 16 are equipped with automatic pin setting machines and are used for ten pin exclusively. These machines were also built by Brunswick and were also shipped to Japan and were included in the package when the lanes were purchased. These machines have approximately 3,100 moving parts and approximately 2,500 non-moving parts. Each machine uses 10 belts much like the ones used in older model cars. The machines utilize a transmission, which has 4 functions. It lowers and raises the rack, sweeps the deck of fallen pins, and has scissor like arms that pick up individual pins and replaces them after sweeping the deck of fallen pins.
