HOPKINSVILLE, Kent. - Exempt bowler, Chad Kloss, has signed on as a member of the Track Tour staff, announced Paul Figliomeni. Kloss joins two-year Track staff member, Mitch Beasley, for the 2008-09 season which begins at the World Championships, October 19-26.
“Chad is a welcome addition to the Track staff as he is the kind of aggressive and knowledgeable player that we cater to,” said Figliomeni. “He’s proven that when he sets a goal like regaining his exemption, he achieves it. We have no doubt that his first title is not far off.”
Kloss joined the PBA in 2005 and won the very first regional tournament he bowled in and cashed in at 80 percent of the events he bowled that year, earning “Rookie of the Year” honors for the Midwest region.
Kloss finished an impressive 8th in the 2006 USBC Masters. He also finished fourth in points among non-exempt players on the PBA Tour and qualified for the 07-08 Tour finishing sixth at the Tour Trials. In 2007, Kloss captured the Peterson Classic title, throwing an impressive 1657 at this event known for being one of the toughest tournaments in the industry. He joined the national Tour that fall and cashed in 17 of 19 events during the 07-08 season. He made match play six times and ended the season with a 210.8 average.
A resident of Milwaukee with his wife and daughter, he describes himself as determined, emotional and focused and, with Track in his bag, he’s well on his way to his first national title.
“Track’s line is built for the highest levels of competition and I’m confident they’ll give me the advantage I need to achieve the winner’s circle,” said Kloss.
