Brunswick Bowling Products has announced that its Boost ST® string pinsetter technology has been approved by the Professional Bowlers Association for use in professional-level competition, Brunswick announced earlier today.
The decision allows the system to be used on the PBA Tour and marks a new step for string pins in top-level bowling.
The PBA carried out its own testing and review process. Following that evaluation, the PBA confirmed that Boost ST® meets the requirements for professional competition.
The Boost ST® system is already approved by the United States Bowling Congress and can be used in certified leagues and official competitions.
Boost ST® is built on Brunswick’s GS Series platform and is designed to deliver consistent pin action and scoring across different levels of play. The system is intended for use in open play, league bowling, and competitive events, including professional tournaments.
Beyond lane performance, Boost ST® is also designed to support modern bowling center operations. The system includes automated features, optimized string length settings, and integration with Brunswick’s Sync® scoring system, the 360 Controller, and the Pronto™ app.
These tools are aimed at helping centers reduce maintenance needs, limit downtime, and manage daily operations more efficiently.
