I don't know why this thread had to get to an economic situation, lol.  This was about getting a ball that had a good reception the 1st time around.  Do people understand there aren't really any more all "American" products?  It does suck for those who lost their job when they moved to Mexico, but that's business, and cheaper labor and costs usually help a business, lol.  People need to understand competitive advantage, and that if Brunswick would've stayed put in their domestic location, the consumer suffers, normally w/higher prices.  They'd go belly up in bowling, going against others that utilize international markets.  I'm not sure if my TF is made in mexico, and i really don't care, it's been a great product for me.  At least Brunswick is a domestically-owned company, so those that care can rest that the revenue is going to an American company, lol.
