In your opinions, who makes the best, most durable, cost-effective bumpers? Right now Im looking at Bumper Bowling (out of dallas, almost an exact replica of Qubica's QBump XS), and wondered who has had the best success with what.

Re: Bumpers
We installed AMF Durabowl's about 3 years ago and have yet to have any single problem. Very durable, very easy to install, no mainteance.
We also installed the air operated automatic system and haven't had a problem with that either.
We did have one bumper break and had to order a replacement rail when a 250 pound woman slipped and fell on the bumper while in the automatic raised position. Fortunately, it seemed to 'break' her fall.

Re: Bumpers
PinMonkey,
We try to stay aware of the proverbial jackass that all bowling centers seem to have and prevent any problems before they occur.
I do admit, however, to the occasional employee pot games of single or double bank bumper bowling that goes on after closing sometimes.
I'm very good at it actually.....

Re: Bumpers
we have mendes pneumatic bumpers, in all fairness, now we have modified them and rivited the bumper to their tourque tube along the top at 12" intervals, they are OK, the only pi$$ off is the rams are exposed, and if some dicksplash bowls a ball between the capping and the bumper it bends the ram (dosent happen very often, but its a monumental pain in the arse when it does)
although we have the interface to operate them from qubica, we have simply connected them to a toggle switch on the ball return.Want your old pins collecting anywhere in the UK? email me on jezsmith@aol.com

The Legacy of the A2
