Bowlaro Jupiter's conversion to string pin setter bowling will start this September. I'm sure the rest of the bowling centers will follow. Here is the latest USBC research on this subject:

STRING PINSETTER RESEARCH
USBC has published a new study and will certify string pinsetters and string pin bowling as an independent category of
equipment and competition, separate from free-fall machines effective August 1, 2023, for the 2023/2024 season.

During the summer of 2020, the United States Bowling Congress Equipment Specifications and Certifications team began
a comprehensive research study on string pinsetters, specifically looking at the scoring and pinfall variables betwee
non-approved string pinsetters and USBC-certified free-fall pinsetters.

All aspects of the pin area, including pinsetters, pins, pin deck and pit area, play a critical role in scoring.

In the United States, the overwhelming number of USBC-certified leagues and tournaments use average-based divisions or
handicap systems. Therefore, equipment that impacts scoring variables must be standardized from center to
center in order to compare certified averages for competition.

USBC will conduct additional bowler tests in 2023 with the objective of determining whether string averages can be
used the same as free fall or whether a conversion can be created. As with all of our research, USBC intends to
publish the data and share the analysis for the benefit of bowling. Ongoing research will continue in this area,
along with key industry stakeholder communication.
