Wednesday, 04/16/2008 HOPKINSVILLE, Kent. Ebonite
International has announced that the company has restructured the
Powerhouse™ brand in order to put additional resources behind bowling
coaching and bowler development programs. Veteran coach and pro shop
operator, Brian Chilcutt, has accepted this new position with the
Powerhouse brand. In that capacity, he will oversee the company s
bowling and bowler development initiatives as well as the Powerhouse Pro
Shop Equipment and Pro Shop Training Clinic businesses.
In today's business, qualified bowling coaches are a necessity, not a
luxury. Without coaches, bowlers have no way of improving and therefore
no desire to remain in the sport, said vice president of marketing Bob
Reid. By adding coaching and bowler development to the charter of our
Powerhouse brand, we are making an even further commitment to our great
sport.
Brian Chilcutt is the ideal person to lead our brands, and really the
entire industry, in the creation and implementation of programs, events,
educational courses and other initiatives that will truly build better
bowlers. He has proven experience in the organization and promotion of
targeted programs on the pro shop and bowler levels and it s those
successes that will help him lead the new Powerhouse brand in its
coaching and bowler development plans.
Chilcutt, a Gold certified coach who has been named a Top 100 coach by
Bowler s Journal magazine for the past three years, has worked in every
capacity of the bowling business from pro shop manager to lane
technician to sales and event coordination. His shop, Striking
Difference Pro Shop inside Hawthorn Lanes in Vernon Hills, Illinois,
hosts week-long bowling camps, bowling workshops, special events and
other promotions. Chilcutt is intimately familiar with BowlersMAP Gold
and uses the software when instructing students. He is also a ball
review analyst for the local and national media and often pens articles
and bowling tips for publication. Chilcutt has earned industry-wide
respect for his ability to match up the correct combinations of ball
speed, rotation, ball layouts, ball surface and lane playing techniques
for various conditions and bowler styles. He is currently serving a
three-year term on the IBPSIA Board of Directors.
Better coaching is the result of better
information and training. Better bowlers are the result of better
coaching. The two go hand-in-hand, shared Chilcutt. I m not surprised
that Ebonite International has decided to put its full resources behind
these efforts. They are innovators in so many ways that it just makes
sense that they will be the ones to blaze a trail towards a better
bowling environment for everyone bowlers, pro shops, bowling centers,
manufacturers and distributors.
It s an honor to be chosen for this position. It s a responsibility that
I do not take lightly and to which I will completely devote all my
talents and skills. We re out to build better bowlers, and better pro
shops and to do so on a very large scale.
Chilcutt has relocated to the Hopkinsville area and can be reached at
bchilcutt@powerhousebowling.com or 270-881-1200.
Based in Hopkinsville, Kent., Ebonite International is a privately-owned
company that current services bowling centers, distributors and retail
shops both domestically and internationally. The company s consumer
product brands include Ebonite, Hammer, Robby s, Columbia 300, Track and
Powerhouse . Its commercial product brands are Ebonite VanTech Capital
Equipment, Vantage Genuine Parts and Ebonite Bowling Center Direct
