“Throughout the process in the build up to our Extraordinary congress held on Monday, November 2nd, it became very clear that there was a requirement of the global governing body to make clear its position on String pin-spotting technology.

“Today, the International Bowling Federation approves string centers for Sport Bowling to ensure bowling operators and investors have a real choice in new technology – both free-fall and string technology are now viable options for Sport Bowling.  Now, operators and investors who choose string machines as a way to make their businesses more efficient, profitable and sustainable, can continue to offer and engage in Sport Bowling.”
