Clutch Bowling Launches New Product Compatible with Kegel's Specto

Lake Wales, FL – 7/16/18:  Specto Bowling and Clutch Bowling have agreed to offer exclusive features and graphic integration to users who own both Specto and Clutch Bowling systems.

Clutch Bowling is a company that offers dynamic effects, and interactive elements projected directly onto bowling lanes.  Using the same lidar sensor as Kegel’s Specto system, they can offer pinpoint accuracy in their games to engage both casual and competitive bowlers in an immersive bowling experience. 

Specto is a tracking system for centers, bowlers, and coaches. It records information about bowlers’ shots using a high-power sensor and displays it to them on an easy-to-use app.

The sharing of hardware between both systems allows centers to install them for a cheaper price.  This will be especially helpful for those centers that cater to both serious and casual bowlers and want innovative systems that will meet needs for both major segments of their business.

The teams at Clutch and Specto have worked together to develop special features which will be exclusive to people who own both systems.  These features will enhance both systems offering more entertainment options as well as games that will improve bowling skill. 

Kegel will also field test the system at the Kegel Training Center.

Webber International University to Partner with Columbia 300

Webber International University’s Bowling Program has agreed to a new sponsorship with Columbia 300. 

In recent years, Webber’s Bowling program has built a strong relationship with Ebonite International through the use of their Ebonite Brand products. To better align with Ebonite International’s brand strategy, and attract the highest quality players, Webber and EBI have decided that Columbia 300 will be the brand that makes the most sense. 

Del Warren, Head Coach of Webber, says, “Since April 2008 Webber International and Ebonite International has partnered resulting in winning 6 National Championships with bowlers such as Diana Zavjalova, Marcelo Suartz, and Gary Faulkner; the plan is to continue this streak of success with Columbia.”

Though Webber’s new relationship will be with Columbia 300, they will still have access to other EBI brands such as Ebonite, Track and Hammer.  “We are thankful that EBI is working with us to ensure our bowlers have the best products to suit their needs,” shares Warren. 

Bugsy Kelly, Ebonite International’s Group Marketing Director for Communications says, “Ebonite International has a great history with the Webber Warriors and we’re excited to take this next step in being a part of their continued success. Columbia 300’s youthful, energetic brand position, with an emphasis on performance, makes it a perfect match for the collegiate experience and the Webber Warriors.”
