StrikeMaster vs LaneTalk
LaneTalk is a bowling stats app that collects your scores automatically in bowling centers connected to its system, and its League Manager is sold to bowling centers. StrikeMaster works in any bowling center because you enter the scores yourself, and any bowler can create and run a league.
When LaneTalk is the better fit
- You bowl in a connected center and want scores captured automatically from the scoring system.
- Your bowling center runs the league and wants scores imported from its scoring hardware.
When StrikeMaster is the better fit
- Your bowling center is not connected, or you bowl in several centers.
- You want to run a league yourself, without the bowling center buying software.
- You want to track the ball used on every roll and, with Pro, score several players on one phone.
